This is not meant to be discriminatory. Every cat is beautiful, but which which color do you personally prefer?
I personally like orange cats or orange/white mix, but I couldn’t find one at the rescue that was set up at PetSmart so I was depressed, lonely and I was desparate for the love of cats got so I just adopted a tabby brown cat.
My least preferred colors are pure white or pure black cats, but I somehow still like a mix white/black cat. I mean, if one showed up to my door and was friendly and had a great personality, I’d take him/her in, but I probably wouldn’t be looking for those color of cats if I were looking to adopt a cat in a shelter/rescue.
Are you being a bad person by picking cats based on their color? To be honest, if there was an orange cat at the PetSmart I’d likely not have chosen my tabby brown. I kinda feel horrible for thinking this way, but I mean, it’s just like this weird feeling, this attachment to specific color cats. I just loved orange cats so much. But once I gotten to know my tabby brown, I now prefer tabby browns as much as orange cats.
Again, every cat is beautiful, but I just have weird preferences for some over others for some odd reason.
Edit: To be clear, I was looking for ANY cats, but I wanted an orange one if possible, but if not, I would’ve taken ANY cat. I didn’t care that much, I just wanted some cuddles with a warm little fellow living being.
I really love black cats but I’m unfortunately allergic to them. Looking forward to the day you can be routinely vaccinated against cat allergies, apparently that’s a thing.
I had no idea that was possible! Science is amazing. Are you allergic only to black cats?
Yeah I read about it a year or so ago! It’s not just the black ones, it’s shorter haired ones in general for some reason. My old boss’s Maine Coon was never an issue.
Google search shows this:
Some research found that dark-colored cats are more allergenic than ones with lighter fur, but other studies suggest that fur color had no link to allergen amount. Another study found that people living in the Western U.S. had higher cat allergen concentrations in the homes than those in other parts of the country.

Are you only allergic to the black ones?
