Anecdotal survey of 30 or so cat owners, thry dont get nearly the vet checks as dogs. Aside from maybe Maincoons since they have a whole mess of problems. Tabbys are absolute battle tanks.

My single orange brain cell does scare me some times. I get worried that he's the type to hide if he actually gets hurt or sick.
He's 12, and I have to play with him a lot, otherwise he'll start chasing his tail, including biting it and by the sound of it, very hard.
I've had many, many cats in my life and always the orange ones are f!cking weird. I went to search why that is but I think the researchers are wrong with the below. I want another one but I'm not sure that I have the energy for it now that I'm older. They're such goobers.
"The facts: Does being orange really influence cat behavior? The fact is, at least according to science, there is no such thing as orange cat behavior. “To date, no studies have shown any impact of coat color on personality in cats,” veterinary behaviorist Dr. Mikel Delgado tells The Wildest."
Yeah well, they need to science harder, because they haven't observed what orange tabby parents have observed for probably centuries.
For real, I have much faith in science, but not when it comes to orange cats. Those cats are dumb and weird and loveable as shit and no stupid science bitch is gonna tell me otherwise.
