sure sure, i’m just telling you what this behavior looks like from the outside. according to me. very eminent scholar of these kinds of things, really. honestly.

but seriously, we’ve had cats since i was … 5? and i never ever thought of connecting the coloring of a cat to its personality. ever. this never entered the horizon of things to think for anyone i knew in hungary in the 90s. or the 2000s. i first encountered this sort of thinking on reddit a few years ago. the only thing i can relate it to is the stories of people killing black cats because of witches or whatever.

because there’s never been any real intentional breeding done on default cats. if we’ve fucked up their genetics, it wasnt because we bred them, but because we killed very aggressive ones and kept the cute kittens. much of the evolution of cats among humans was done not as pets but as barn cats (or similar roles), where they are a half-tame half-wild animal that fucks whoever it wants.

cat coat color clearly has nothing to do with anything. the wild cats from which domestic cats come from are all basically tabbies, and it’s not like anyone set out to breed cow-spotted black and white cats. all these coats coexist in feral/rural (the line can be hard to draw, with barn cats and such) cat populations and it’s just random variance.

i think they had this idea even in the 19th century, and it was certainly popular to say “fuck the irish” back then.

yeah, and iirc red cats are mostly males, but the rest is just designer breeds of cats stuff, which is just weird as hell to me. why breed cats? they’re perfect as they are. normal local shorthair cats are all the same on average. which means they come in the same range of personalities of course, i’m not claiming they’re literally all the same.
