Orange cats are visually appealing, but their temperament is determined by more than just coat color. There are anecdotal reports that cat owners view ginger cats as friendly, with a survey run by uc davis which found people were more likely to assign positive personality traits to orange cats and interestingly, less positive personality traits to tortoiseshell cats. Orange cats are more common in rural (less dense) as opposed to urban environments. This is thanks to the fact that they are animals with a mysterious character and a very special personality.
