I don't believe that a cat's color dictates any behavior predilections. Bunky, our calico, was an affectionate cat with a wonderful sense of her housemates' moods and needs. I came home from an out-patient leg operation, and in excruciating pain I lay down on a mattress we'd put on the living room floor, and Bunky came over and lay next to me to help take the pain away. Fuzzbrain was a mature orange tabby that had been left behind when some college girls left for the semester, and I adopted her. She was always a respectful cat, loved sitting in the outdoor sun out back, and was a great companion. Felix is a black cat who is talkative (perhaps because he's somewhat hard of hearing), somewhat demanding [pet me now!], and extremely affectionate. He came to me at 16 after his life-long owner couldn't keep him anymore. These are anecdotes. They prove nothing except that stereotypes don't hold up in trying to link cat color with personality and behavior.
