Owners of pets and cats in particular believe that the behavior of a pet primarily depends on the upbringing and character of the owner.

But scientists have come to the conclusion that genetics determines something in this regard. Thus, the assumption arose that the character of a cat is connected with the color of its fur.

Researchers from the University of California worked on this topic.

What we managed to find out

1. Ginger cats are friendly, active and mischievous.

2. Whites are passive and aloof, rarely interact with people, but are quite bold.

3. Blacks are not much different in character from their counterparts of other colors.

4. Bicolors are friendly, but also a little withdrawn or aloof.

5. Tortoiseshells are easy to train, but impatient.

However, the scientists’ conclusions are based on subjective data and observations.

It is important to understand that the concept of friendliness is different for male and female cat owners.

Don't rush to judge a cat only by the color of its fur. After all, there is almost no evidence that the differences in behavior of cats of different colors that their owners talk about actually exist, Doctor Peter quotes the words of the author of the study, Mikel Delgado.
