I always thought colors on a cat dictated behavior. I have a tortishell cat who will be 18 years old. She was born at my house so I have watched her grow up. She was always a biter and a little strange. She didn't like all my family members but attached to me. When she was about 2 years old she turned into being territorial and aggressive to her brothers and mom. She started marking until she had to be isolated in the master bedroom for the rest of her life which fixed the problem. I also have a black and white tuxedo cat who was born outside and left by her mom at 4 weeks old. She has always been sweet and calm and never used her claws or teeth to cause harm to any of us. She is smart and could be clicker trained to do a few tricks. Then when she turned 7 she wasn't as nice and very very fearful (how could that be?) I still think Tuxedo cats are sweet, but I have only known 2 of them. For sure tortishell cats are a little strange and I have volunteered at a shelter and took care of the cats and those tortishells were also a little strange and talking with others that have tortishells think the same. But yeah of course I know there are differences in personalities no matter what color even in pure bred dogs it varies in the same breed.
