What's your favorite colour of cat? Also, is it morally wrong to choose a cat based on color?

This is not meant to be discriminatory. Every cat is beautiful, but which which color do you personally prefer?

I personally like orange cats or orange/white mix, but I couldn't find one at the rescue that was set up at PetSmart so I was depressed, lonely and I was desparate for the love of cats got so I just adopted a tabby brown cat.

My least preferred colors are pure white or pure black cats, but I somehow still like a mix white/black cat. I mean, if one showed up to my door and was friendly and had a great personality, I'd take him/her in, but I probably wouldn't be looking for those color of cats if I were looking to adopt a cat in a shelter/rescue.

Are you being a bad person by picking cats based on their color? To be honest, if there was an orange cat at the PetSmart I'd likely not have chosen my tabby brown. I kinda feel horrible for thinking this way, but I mean, it's just like this weird feeling, this attachment to specific color cats. I just loved orange cats so much. But once I gotten to know my tabby brown, I now prefer tabby browns as much as orange cats.

Again, every cat is beautiful, but I just have weird preferences for some over others for some odd reason.

Edit: To be clear, I was looking for ANY cats, but I wanted an orange one if possible, but if not, I would've taken ANY cat. I didn't care that much, I just wanted some cuddles with a warm little fellow living being.

you could choose your partner by the color of their eyes, and then, after 40 years of life together, you would tell your children the story about how you chose your partner, and you all laugh and no judge. same with cats, IMO. just don't buy a cat. save its life: adopt a stray one, or take one (or three) from a shelter. I am a father of 3 stray cats, and they are all grateful and loving. my neighbors got this huge mainecoon cat from the store, and the cat is arrogant and rude, they don't love the cat as a result. the cat is neglected and thus more rude. and he's constantly I'll, and they treat him without loving him. baad story.
