whether the classic tuxie pattern or just some random pattern, is that they are very strong communicators. With a combination of meows, gestures, and side-eye, they can make their attitude very clear. However, what they communicate is not always factual. To be blunt, they lie like rugs.* (Or to be nicer, they have a vivid fantasy life.) I haven't noticed any other color or pattern having a consistent personality trait.

*One of my cats displayed this trait to the degree that a taxonomist friend declared him to be a new species - Felis domesticus mendacitans.
