Profound differences of behaviour

Okay. Different perceptions. I see it as stereotyping, but not as
regarding either (the cats or a group of people) as being given
object-like
status.

Sorry. I'm always leaving out a step in my reasoning/thinking. To
stereotype is to oversimplify to the point of giving a living thing an
object-like status. As though whatever you are, you are simply because
of the matter you are made of, eg your genes/breed.

Ah, nature vs. nurture. You can't deny the nature - genes play a huge
role in a lot of things....even, yes, personality, to some extent, I
think...look at how many adopted children have the talents, likes and
dislikes of their birth parents...

Surprisingly our all black kitty was the first to be adopted. No surprise to
me as he was the sweetest. I was going to keep him if he hadn't found a
home. We kept one of the black and white ones. He's a real love bug. The
other B&W one and his tabby sister were adopted together.

The shelters here (PA near Philly) have been overrun with black and black
&
white cats this summer. 3 of the 4 kittens we bottle fed were black (1 all
black, 2 B&W) Guess there's a really busy black and white male cat running
around as our kittens Mom was a tabby.

Black is a dominant color. People don't want black cats, either.
It's sad, because IMO, and IME, they make the best pets.

I have a calico cat and a black domestic short haired.
They both have DRAMATICALLY different types of behaviour. Do black cats and
calico cats have dramatically different kinds of behaviours than other
breeds and types of cats.
Thanks


One reason I love cats is that they all have totally different
personalities. I've had a half-dozen cats in my years, and each has
specific behavior and none acts remotely the same as another.
