Many have called on them for not being &#8220;bright&#8221; or being &#8220;too active.&#8221; While this might be the case for some orange cats, it certainly isn&#8217;t the case for all. Just like dogs of certain species, orange cats&#8217; reputation seems to have stuck with them and won&#8217;t go away. However, there&#8217;s one specific orange cat whose demure demeanor is ready to change your perspective on these adorable cats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sponge Cake (an amazingly accurate name) makes the case orange cats everywhere with the calmest behavior I&#8217;ve ever seen on the New York City subway. For anyone who has visited the subway in New York before, you&#8217;ll know it&#8217;s a mix of different behaviors and situations you&#8217;ve never found yourself in. However, Sponge Cake&#8217;s attitude is one for the books for how calm and patient he carries himself. As someone who has also ridden on the subway, I have nothing but praise for how well this little fellow handled the craziness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/emojipedia.org\/dog-face\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:\ud83d\udc36;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;\ud83d\udc36&quot;}\" class=\"link \">\ud83d\udc36<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/newsletters\/parade-pets\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:SIGN UP to get &quot;pawsitivity&quot; delivered right to your inbox with inspiring &amp; entertaining stories about our furry &amp; feathered friends;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;SIGN UP to get \\&quot;pawsitivity\\&quot; delivered right to your inbox with inspiring &amp;amp&quot;}\" class=\"link \">SIGN UP to get &#8220;pawsitivity&#8221; delivered right to your inbox with inspiring &amp; entertaining stories about our furry &amp; feathered friends<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/emojipedia.org\/paw-prints\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e&quot;}\" class=\"link \">\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Viewers React to Sponge Cake&#8217;s Trip on the New York City Subway<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"My orange cat riding the New York subway #shorts #cats #cat #nyc #subway\" width=\"563\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SWvH1w3S8Mk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Donning an adorable fuzzy cap, Sponge Cake took a trip with their owner on the infamous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/lifestyle\/articles\/move-over-runway-models-crochet-134500631.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:New York;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;New York&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New York <\/a>subway.

The entire time was marked by bystanders who couldn&#8217;t help but stare at the gentle and calm cat. Throughout the video, Sponge Cake&#8217;s calmness was so strong that he even found himself closing his eyes for a bit while they reached their destination. However, the most amazing moment was when Sponge Cake lay on their human&#8217;s shoulder and gave them a few gentle pats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/lifestyle\/articles\/orange-cats-playful-bond-golden-134000256.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Orange Cat&#039;s Playful Bond With Golden Retriever Is Too Precious;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Related&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Related: Orange Cat&#8217;s Playful Bond With Golden Retriever Is Too Precious<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This sweet moment produced plenty of &#8220;awws&#8221; from the comment section, who couldn&#8217;t help but be charmed by such an enchanting cat. &#8220;Luv it.
