Well, you're dead wrong. I have three cats - all adopted as adults from shelters and they're all the sweetest, most loveable cats I've ever known. It's also not true - as someone stated - that how a cat was treated as a kitten determines how it will be as an adult. Even the most abused animals can turn into loving, sweet pets. Mocha, my Ragamuffin, was tormented horribly by a three year old child and was TERRIFIED when I first got her. I couldn't touch her face, paws or pick her up. A few months later she was throwing herself at my feet and now will lay on her back on my lap while I trim her claws. How were these cats when you met them at the shelter? Did you interact with them out of their cages? And have they had other pets or small children around to irritate them? There has to be more to this story.

I heard this from someone on here who has a male orange tabby. But I have to agree with others you cannot really know by the breed and what have you if they are friendly or not. It depends on how they were raised, how much attention they get, etc. I heard that male orange tabbies are generally friendly! I heard this from someone on here who has a male orange tabby.
