Can you judge a cat's personality from its fur color?

Here is Maui, my third cat. A study suggests black and white cats are the most likely to get stroppy…say what?!?!? A team of researchers at the University of California, Davis, carried out a survey of 1,274 cat owners, asking about their pets’ behaviour (how often their fur babies bit, scratched, or hissed at them etc.). According to this same study, black and white cats are most aggressive whilst a tabby is more likely to purr along nicely. So it means (still according to this study) that the colour of a pet could reveal the cat’s personnality.
Well, let this be the opposite result of this study (they should have surveyed me instead of the 1274 cat owners), Maui is a black and white cat and she is sweet with her family…of course, outside she needs to defend her territory, so she’s kind of agressive with the other cats. But with us, she is an angel.
If you need proof here is one : my 11 months old son hit his head today while discovering the living room. He cried so much even mommy’s kisses weren’t enough. So Maui came close to him and put her head on his hand. The softness of her fur on his skin made him stop crying, he was then curious and wanted to explore more, so he touched her in a clumsy way, she didn’t mind, she stayed next to him till he began to babble and laugh again. So who’s stroppy now?
