#I'm just so tired of people applying shitty gendered labels to animals

[ooc-miqojak]

Me over here, just tired of everyone saying all orange cats are stupid/himbos, and deciding to finally yell about how stupid people sound when they say this - if I went by this logic, they'd be implying that all men are crafty genius masterminds with a biological disorder that makes it hard to know when they're full after eating, based on my orange cat. Not all orange cats are 'himbos', not all calicos/torties are sassy.

Much like Jackson says, we're applying our human, gendered conceptions to these animals, and it's honestly doing them a disservice. (Men are stupid and women are sassy? That's what we're boiling it down to? Egh. My orange cat is incredibly smart, and my calico is the village idiot who wants nothing more than snuggles, and rarely has attitude! None of my three cats really line up with popular misconceptions about cats at all.)

Anyways, anything you attribute to 'orange cat himbo heehoo' is probably just average cat behavior and nothing to do with fur color - fur color can only have three patterns, and it can be determined by their biological sex... but it doesn't determine intelligence.

Fun fact though, speaking of coat color: if your cat has white on it and it isn't a pure white cat? That's a spot. So if your cat is 90% white with 10% black? That's a black cat with a big white spot on it!
