“One Orange Braincell”: 50 Times Ginger Cats Proved Just How Hilariously Unpredictable They Really Are (New Pics)

Another way to do that is to look at their learning ability, or in other words, how cats acquire new information or skills that can be applied to new situations. These include:

• Conditioning: Cats can learn to associate certain stimuli with certain outcomes, such as a bell with food or a clicker with a treat. They can also learn to perform certain behaviors to obtain rewards or avoid punishments;
• Imitation: Cats can learn by observing and copying the actions of others, such as opening doors, using toilets, or playing fetch. They can also learn from their own reflection or from videos;
• Problem-solving: Cats can use logic, trial-and-error, or creativity to overcome obstacles or challenges, such as escaping from a box, retrieving food from a puzzle feeder, or manipulating objects.

A single litter can easily include a black, orange, and calico kitten. These siblings are likely to have a good deal in common, fur color notwithstanding.

“To date, there is little evidence that these perceived differences between differently colored cats actually exist, but there are serious repercussions for cats if people believe that some cat colors are friendlier than others,” Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist (Animal Behavior Society) and Certified Cat Behavior Consultant Mikel Delgado said.

“Previous research supports the existence of ‘black cat syndrome,’ where black and brown cats are less likely to be adopted than cats of other colors,” she added.

So while there's no harm in playfully mocking all the Garfields in the wild, remember that 'One Orange Braincell' should be viewed as a silly cat lovers club, not a union against feline gingers!
