Yes, I believe that there is something about coat colour/pattern that affects behaviour. I have noticed that tabbies are very sweet and playful, and act like dogs sometimes. And I have noticed that all the pointed cats with siamese/himalayn markings don't want to come near me. And then the torties always have the tortitude!

I remember when I was 10, and I was laying in bed trying to sleep. Without warning Sara grabs my arm with her front claws and takes her back ones and starts shredding my arm (the most painful way of scratching!!). I have a hideous scar on my arm now, right below my wrist. It was so deep and I had to write with my left hand for a week because I couldn't move my right.

She is such a sweet cat, I don't know how she can be such a devil sometimes. But then, she suffered quite alot from me when I was just a small child. Poor thing, having to walk around in baby clothes. I guess payback time comes years later.
