Talking about catgirls, we see most of them as black catgirls and some white ones but never orange catgirls, why is that?

Because anime girls don't exude that orange cat energy


It's easier to be anything other than an orange cat.

The lack of orange cat cosplay and representation of orange catgirls is clearly a problem that should be addressed...

I think black is a better colour for sexual content than orange.

Do Catalano just want to find an excuse to post his fap pictures in the forums with these threads?

Because girls won't wear black unless they want to be seen? Have you ever touched a woman other than your blood-related?

Horndogs are in orange for a reason, meanwhile

Orange catgirls are usually replaced by foxgirls tbh, that's the reason you don't see many orange catgirls in anime.

As for actual answer. It might just be because black shows up easier if it first appeared in source from Manga or LN, and it's just continuity.

@Serafos why is it looking at you like that? My cat only looks at me like that when she wants to murder me.

I learned yesterday that orange cats tend to be the "dumb ones," so maybe anime girls don't want to be associated with that stereotype?

I also imagine that black is more slimming, so giving characters designed to be attractive a way of being even more attractive is an easy way to print more money.

Lastly, the band pictured below (whose name would probably get me banned) has a monopoly on orange:

The prevalence of black and white catgirls in anime is probably because of cultural and symbolic reasons. In Japanese culture, black cats are seen as symbols of witches and black magic, while white cats maneki neko represent prosperity, purity and luck.. These symbolic meanings make them popular choices for character designs.
On the other hand, orange cats are less common in anime, possibly because their symbolism isn’t as deeply ingrained in Japanese culture.

I've heard that in Japan, black cats are considered to bring good luck, unlike in America. Japan in correct again here.

It's name is Tufa? And he post for you to take photo. hahaha


Maybe that's why manga and anime artists like to create animal-girls and boys.. particularly cats.
