Like most orange cats, she is a tiny domesticated terrorist. I don't know why orange cats are so troublesome in general, but that has been my experience with them.
Today, while I was gone, she got onto my desk, where she is not allowed, and broke one of my prized Code Project mugs, spilling coffee all over my chair and the floor in the process.
The animal is absolutely remorseless.
She gets away with this stuff on account of being loved and being adorable. Good thing too, or we'd probably send her back.

I read a phrase yesterday that was something like "As crazy as an orange cat".
They are a bit special.

Maybe they know their color does not rhyme with anything (in English).
Cats are weird. They are not pack oriented like we are.
We inherited a neighbor cat, we named kitty.
She was not an indoor cat.
A super bird killer.
Found her with bird feet hanging out of her mouth.
But we loved her and she knew we did.
Stayed with us for 20+ years.
Vet said she was a Persian species. They tend to have long lives.
Could not have kittens.
She still lives in our memories.
She was almost blue.

Just to be cheeky on the Vampire Weekend Step remix they did, Heems "rhymed" "orange" with "college"
I actually laughed when I first listened to it.

Probably because an orange cat cannot hide as well, so they just say the heck with it, go all out

Orange cats are the redheads of feline society, and can't really be blamed for what they do. Happily, they are mostly lovable and adorable, and can be readily forgiven.

No, no - orange cats have a soul ...

That's true of most children, too.

What was the sink made of, Ming dynasty porcelain? Usually it is the thing dropped that shatters. How hard did she throw the perfume to shatter a sink? If she can get that angered, upset, enraged you might think twice about keeping her as a girlfriend. But then again, considering the sink, it might be worse to NOT keep her.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Just a ceramic sink and a glass diamond shaped bottle.
It fell from about a meter above the sink.

All possible colors plus stripes, all at once. The Calico Tabby. Not breedable because some of the color information is on the X chromosome and only females have two X chromosomes. There are no Calico Tabby males you could breed them with.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

When I was young (many moons ago) my family was out fishing, when this young calico cat came to us.
Someone had dumped her there and she was starving. She ended up eating a lot of our bait, until I caught a catfish we didn't want. She dragged that off and we didn't see her for about 1/2 hour. When she returned she was literally bulging. We took her home and she was with us for the next 18 years...

The vast majority of orange cats (like 80%) are male. Are you sure it is a female?
Ok, I have had my coffee, so you can all come out now!

Yes. She's rare.

The last orange cat my wife and I had was her cat before we got married. I'll never forget that cat hanging off my blue jean back pockets screaming at me to take care of our newborn, who was loudly protesting his first bath in the kitchen sink.

Try a Siamese. I've never had one, but know of at least 4, and they're all rather aggressive. I get along with most cats, but all Siamese cats I've ever met are rather much alike.

Oh I have a black cat that's pretty aggressive when he wants to be. He has mastered the bite. He's an artist. He clamps on and tears, like a dog would - goes straight for the pain.
My little orange one isn't like that. She just gets into and onto absolutely everything, and is completely obnoxious, whereas my black kitty overall is a good boy, bitey tendencies aside.

My grandmother had two Siamese that she got as kittens. Their names were "House" and "Wrecker".

We've had a gazillion cats over the years (yes, a gazillion, we kept count) of every type of barn-yard variety, and the ones with the best temperament have been the two tuxedo cats we have now. I was going to say they are like a good BBQ sauce, both sweet and spicy, but that sounds like we're having them for dinner.
