The following artists are banned from the community.
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

Have a new orange. Can attest it's true. But only part of the time, he's a sweet boy sometimes too. Dear lord there's no brains involved, I don't know where the one cell idea comes from. Zero.
Nonono it's not one braincell PER cat. It's one braincell total, for all orange cats.
Exactly. And mine always uses it for evil when he gets it.
I guess mine didn't get the message to sign up for the sharing.
He thought the timeshare was a scam, which is ironic because usually you have to have brains to figure that out
It was during the trial period.
Orange males*
Orange females are the reason the males only get one to share.
I have both and can confirm. My favorite is when the orange one is chasing the black one and he smashes his face into a wall when the black one jumps up into the window.
Year ago, someone dumped two tiny black kittens literally on my stoop. The male was dumber than a box of rocks when it came to not hurting himself; he was constantly smashing his head into walls, heβd run under our kitchen chairs and youβd hear his head go βthunk thunk thunkβ against the chair braces like they were xylophone keys. I donβt know how many times I ran over to him while saying, βoh my god, youβre so stupid are you ok?!β I did it so many times, he ended up thinking his name was Stupid. And so it was. And he grew up into a very smart, huge panther who mothered the kittens we took in over the years, and taught them how to be cats. He raised the little orange boy I have that is currently cuddled up with my ill father, and heβs the sweetest thing that ever existed, and not dumb at all! All the other orange cats I know, though.. whew boy. I donβt know how some of them lived to adulthood.
Funny aside - the vets office called him Mr. Stupid to give him some respect, lol.
I have a Voidie and a Ginger, and can confirm that at 3:30 am, my cats BOTH manically tap dance with the devil until miraculously, the Holy Back Door opens and the Devils Dancing Plague is banished for yet another day. Amen.
I think that's the first comic of hers using colors I have seen.
I heard that in England, black cats were considered GOOD luck, is that right?
Yea, unless they cross your path which I never understood the meaning of.
From left to right specifically, at least in Germany
Walk backwards. Checkmate atheists. /s
Cross your path is literal. Its when youre going North or South, and they are going East or West. Your two paths make a cross.
The Japanese consider them to be good luck too I believe. They apparently do the exact opposite of what others believe, which is warding off evil spirits.
So Umbreon is a good luck pokemon? Good to know...
Depends on if you believe the eeveelutions are cats, but I suppose so.
I read somewhere that a cat's coat color and pattern has nothing to do with their behavior, and all sentiment to the contrary (like this post) is due to cognitive bias.
I don't know if you know this, but the cat community makes up a lot of shit about cats because cats have one personality in general: cat.
I don't know, we had a siamese and that lil' guy was a chatterbox; when he came back from outside he had to tell us everything. And he always answered when you talked to him. Could have whole conversations with that cat. All the others (none of them siamese) have either been pretty silent, or they've only used meows to tell us they wanted something.
We've also had a couple persians (well, a probably genuine persian, white, and something that looked and behaved 100% like a black persian but was the daughter of what looked like a russian blue β or several russian blues stuck one inside the other; she's old, fragile, and thin now, but that cat used to be thick, and solid like a brick β who we adopted from the street, and an unknown father); both of them behaved pretty much identically (and the latter much different from her mother, who was a force of nature): delicate, demure, always posing as if you were to take a picture. And both got sick and died quite younger than usual for cats.
I don't know any stereotypes for russian blues so I can't say if that one (supposing it even is one) fits them or not, though, and all the other cats we've had have been, well, regular off-brand cats, and mostly had standard generic cat behaviour (well, one was a gray tabby, also quite solid, who used to hunt rabbits, but she was mostly an outside cat).
In my experience that's calicos. I've had plenty of orange bois and they've all been sweet morons. The calicos are always plotting something. I had one teach an ex's cat to pee in the corner so he'd get punished.
NOW you tell me? Dammit. I got the wrong kind of cat
