1. Don’t know

2. Stories where the main character has been the victim of abuse?

3. Garfield

4. Because orange is associated with Joy, warmth, etc?

Another one for question No. 2—It wouldn’t be romance narratives would it?

1. Stockhome syndrome turns to hatred.

2. Old Yella

3. Frankie, bucket full of blood. Wizard of Oz.

4. Orange is the color of cowardice, but in some light, submission. Where the subject goes to deliver his weakness. The only other color for a cat is black, but they are always in power. Deuteronomy was a male calico -- a contradiction of the absurd. I'd kill that cat, with the right words.

2. Scooby Doo?

Number 4. Is this to do with cinematic visuals? Like in old films actors & actresses would wear really bright colours as they translate well in the grey scale palette of black & white movies.

I won recently, so will just play along for fun. I can confirm, though, that the prize boxes kick plenty of ass.

1. Weaponised cat-gun to trigger John Hurt’s character.

2. ‘101 Dalmatians’?

3. As much as I want it to be ‘The Adventures of Milo & Otis’, it’s probably ‘Inside Llewelyn Davis’

4. Such a great question! It’s probably just a visual pop thing, but would be great if it turned out that orange cats were just easier to train for film.

Just playing because I love these quizzes.

4. Does orange have something to do with how the color shows up on film? It stands out so it’s significant to the viewer. Like the little girl in the red coat in Schindler’s List. We all remember what happened there. Sorry to be such a downer this early in the morning :(

3. Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Also, Meat Loaf just passed so all I can think of is bats escaping hell.

Sad to hear about Meat Loaf. He was great in the Fight Club movie.

1. The cat had to die so he had nothing left to lose, including his mind. He needed the freedom of losing everything to focus on escape. Aka finding freedom in lost hope.

2. Scooby Doo

3.no clue

4. Orange stands out. The eye cant help but track it.

4. To heighten contrast against the background,so the audience will always see cat in peril, increasing setting options; it won’t blend into the bath tub or fade into night?

4. Orange cats are associated with fertility and thus change?

I had to look that up btw: "Orange cat folklore". I should have known that since I have a fat orange cat.

1- No clue whatsoever.

2- Belle and Sebastian?

3- Is it Inside Llewyn Davis? It had an orange cat but, I can't remember the ending well so, I'm just guessing.

4- Orange can be associated with sunshine and all that is too human in humans ( Joy, Happiness, warmth, love etc) So, a cat being a fuzzy warm orange looking creature seems easy on the eye. Or I don't know I'm just making shit up xD.

5. What orange cat hates Mondays?

Cats must be orange because they are a sought-after object, like survivors in life jackets and prisoners in jumpsuits. If you go missing, I’ll find you.

1. To create pure evil in the guards so that the protagonist must escape.

3. Breakfast at Tiffany’s

4. So the orange cat will pop on film.
