This is not meant to be discriminatory. Every cat is beautiful, but which which color do you personally prefer?

I personally like orange cats or orange/white mix, but I couldn't find one at the rescue that was set up at PetSmart so I was depressed, lonely and I was desparate for the love of cats got so I just adopted a tabby brown cat.

My least preferred colors are pure white or pure black cats, but I somehow still like a mix white/black cat. I mean, if one showed up to my door and was friendly and had a great personality, I'd take him/her in, but I probably wouldn't be looking for those color of cats if I were looking to adopt a cat in a shelter/rescue.

Are you being a bad person by picking cats based on their color? To be honest, if there was an orange cat at the PetSmart I'd likely not have chosen my tabby brown. I kinda feel horrible for thinking this way, but I mean, it's just like this weird feeling, this attachment to specific color cats. I just loved orange cats so much. But once I gotten to know my tabby brown, I now prefer tabby browns as much as orange cats.

Again, every cat is beautiful, but I just have weird preferences for some over others for some odd reason.

Edit: To be clear, I was looking for ANY cats, but I wanted an orange one if possible, but if not, I would've taken ANY cat. I didn't care that much, I just wanted some cuddles with a warm little fellow living being.

I've only adopted one so far, but I find that I absolutely love torties. The funny thing is I don't even like the color orange that much but I think my cat wears it super well. Black cats are a good second place. I almost adopted a black kitten but my heart just wasn't in it that day, and I ended up finding my tortie instead.
