With good reason. When you have a lot of cats or kittens around, you will tend to notice patterns.
Cats must be able to see colors. If given the chance, they will hang out with other cats that are the same color of themselves.
I have a litter of eight right now; the two orange are always together, the two calicos, the two black ones and the two gray tabbies. They play together, but they settle at the end of the day, with their own colors.
Cats are Racist!
Yes you read it correctly. The next time you meet a bunch of cats, watch what they do. They only spend time with their own colors. They are totally racist. They even try to sit on colors they match. White people don't even hang around white things. That is just nuts.
Their colors are their personalities too. Let's take a few moments to go over them, shall we?
In the cat world, tabbies are the WASPs. They are boring, like most white people are ( I can say this being white and all.) There are too many of them, they get adopted last and again, let me restate they are boring.
Now, this is not to say, they are bad. Some people want a boring cat. Some white people have a good personality, as do some tabbies. All in all, it is usually a safe bet for a cat in fact. Don't want too much personality sometimes, it complicates things.
Gray cats are English of course. They are regal, refined and almost as boring as tabbies. In fact if you look closely, they are just tabbies in disguise, just like the English are just like American white people but with cooler accents.
Black cats are.....bet you thought I was gonna say Black! Nope, there are no black cats. No spanish cats either for that matter. Black cats are teenages, who are there to try your very last nerve. They are all nationalities. They are beautiful, shiny and full of themselves...teenagers! They lack a certain sense of boundaries, and know they can hide on you in the dark.
White cats. White is not a color and white cats have no personality. These cats are perfect for names like Princess and Precious. Totally useless.
Now, if you want to get a totally awesome cat, get a black AND white cat. They are bi-racial and awesome. You can get a patch work cat, an oreo cookie cat or a Tux!
The worst, are the Tuxedo cats. The ones with all black, but have white paws and necks. These cats know they are always in style and they cheat on cleaning themselves but sometimes only cleaning the white spots. You cannot win when you have a tux, but they are gorgeous.
Siamese are like old ladies. They talk too damn much and nothing anyone want to listen to.
Calicos and Torties are totally confused since they are every color and different shades at the same time. They just have a headache from their own fur.

Persians and other long haired cats are just the same as above, based on their colors, but totally high maintianence. They are like taking a person who used to be rich and suddenly putting them into a middle income home. Their expectations are too high and they have no sense of reality. And they need to be brush. Can we go there for a minute? Cats are useless enough, why add high maintanence to the mix? I will never understand this.
And this brings us to the last and greatest cat you can ever meet...a red, ginger or orange cat. Whatever you want to call them.
These guys are half Polish and half Irish. They are twits who like to party! It doesn't get better than that. This is why it is so hard to find one, they are adopted first. Everyone wants their Irish friend to come to the party, so why not get an Irish cat. And the Polish half is strictly for your own amusement.

I based the above information on my 20 years of rescuing cats. Every color had walked through my doors and I have witnessed their actions over the years. Most recently I rescued a litter of eight. These babies were related and love each other, yet when they sit together, they pair off, the two blacks together, the two oranges, the two calicos and the two tabbies all sit apart.
The Calicos tried to hang with everyone and just annoyed everyone. The two black are in the corner plotting their next move. The tabbies are sitting, bored together, on a dog bed. And the orange guys are making me laugh as I write this.
