In my experience that's calicos. I've had plenty of orange bois and they've all been sweet morons. The calicos are always plotting something. I had one teach an ex's cat to pee in the corner so he'd get punished.

Have a new orange. Can attest it's true. But only part of the time, he's a sweet boy sometimes too. Dear lord there's no brains involved, I don't know where the one cell idea comes from. Zero.

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 61 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Nonono it's not one braincell PER cat. It's one braincell total, for all orange cats.

Orange males*

Orange females are the reason the males only get one to share.

[–] maniclucky@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago

Exactly. And mine always uses it for evil when he gets it.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I guess mine didn't get the message to sign up for the sharing.

He thought the timeshare was a scam, which is ironic because usually you have to have brains to figure that out

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

It was during the trial period.

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

I have both and can confirm. My favorite is when the orange one is chasing the black one and he smashes his face into a wall when the black one jumps up into the window.

I think that's the first comic of hers using colors I have seen.

I have a Voidie and a Ginger, and can confirm that at 3:30 am, my cats BOTH manically tap dance with the devil until miraculously, the Holy Back Door opens and the Devils Dancing Plague is banished for yet another day. Amen.

I heard that in England, black cats were considered GOOD luck, is that right?

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yea, unless they cross your path which I never understood the meaning of.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

From left to right specifically, at least in Germany

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Walk backwards. Checkmate atheists. /s

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

Cross your path is literal. Its when youre going North or South, and they are going East or West. Your two paths make a cross.

The Japanese consider them to be good luck too I believe. They apparently do the exact opposite of what others believe, which is warding off evil spirits.

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So Umbreon is a good luck pokemon? Good to know...

[–] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Depends on if you believe the eeveelutions are cats, but I suppose so.

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

Hey, I'm getting my info straight from "thatvideogameblog", so it's gotta be legit!

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

NOW you tell me? Dammit. I got the wrong kind of cat
