Abstract: Currently, there are many theories regarding the impact of cat coat color on personality traits. I aimed to compare the personalities of cats of different colors to see how closely they align with these theories. I collected data from a survey of 200 cat owners and found that the percentages of cats whose personalities matched the theories were as follows: orange cats 15.6%, white cats 25%, black cats 19.4%, calico cats 8.3%, tortoiseshell cats 15.8%, and tabby cats 34%. These findings suggest that a cat's coat color does not entirely determine its personality. It also depends on the rearing system, the care it receives, and traumatic events that may cause changes in its personality.
Keywords: cat, coat, personality, orange, white, black, calico, tortoiseshell, tabby.
