What is Orange Cat Behavior? (And is it real?)

Across social media, we have repeatedly seen posts indicating that there is such a thing as "Orange Cat Behavior." The idea is that orange cats are said to be some of the friendliest cats around, but this also leads to them being very relaxed and even a bit dopey. In fact, some viral videos have shown us orange cats that are rather chaotic in nature.

But while social media might be pushing the idea of Orange Cat Behavior, we wanted to know what it is exactly, and if it exists. After all, if owning an orange cat means getting a chaotic, but super friendly kitty, why wouldn't we want to know about it.

Unofficially, Orange Cat Behavior has been explained as "generally endearing, often derpy, occasionally spicy, and, at times, completely and utterly banal" behavior from a cat that has orange colored fur. But this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to explaining this idea. Other definitions for Orange Cat Behavior include a cat that is more friendly and affectionate, but that will behave in a manner that their owner might see as risky or wild.

Technically, Orange Cat Behavior does not exist. Instead, it is the human perception of what orange cats are like that has people believing that there is a legitimate behavior associated with a cat that has orange fur. And some people have even compared their orange kitties to one of the more famous orange cats out there, Garfield himself. But the reality is that while we might think that an orange cat is more friendly or chaotic, any cat can be seen this way depending on how we treat them, their own unique personality, and even any training they may have had.

There is no scientific proof that Orange Cat Behavior exists, but that doesn't mean it isn't a thing

According to The Wildest, "the fact is, at least according to science, there is no such thing as orange cat behavior." Basically, there are no studies to confirm that this is a real thing, and instead, this idea of orange cats having a more unique behavior to other cats is more anecdotal in nature.

Although we are not outright denying that there could be such a thing as Orange Cat Behavior, there simply isn't any real science to back the idea up. Instead, we are left with videos of orange cats being themselves and entertaining not only their owners, but the rest of social media as well. And while it may look like it is the orange cats that are the wild ones, we all know that if we wanted to look for other cats that are just as fun and chaotic, we could likely find it, just with a little searching.

Orange cats are cute companions and definitely make us smile. And that is all that matters. So if you have a wild kitty, enjoy it. Or if you have a kitty that is sweet as pie, well we love that for you too.
