This is Acorn.. we rescued her as a kitten from an abandoned house that was demolished soon after. She’s a bit wild but very loving and expressive. Loves to sit in a lap or get attention but being held .. only for a short while. ?

Our cat was hand raised from a tiny kitten, but she's like that too, doesn't like to be constrained haha. Wild (and vicious) at heart. She bullies my sister's pit-mix dog.

Edit: Kitty's name is Cinnamon.

Our newest bottle baby is sort of this way. Vet tech says best way is to just handle them a ridiculous amount. So we’ve been trying to and she’s doing better. But it just seems some cats (maybe depending on how feral the parents were) are just always like that.

Is it a calico or calico cross? They are genetically vicious and female, they can't help it. Seriously.

Yep, cat colours, gender, and temperament are fairly rigidly determined by their genes. Tortoise and calicos are almost always females and vicious, orange tabby cats are usually males and nice, etc.
I used to think that.

Haha we hand raised a litter of orange girls ?
Also we have an orange girl we kept from our last rescue batch named Alice. A mackerel tabby.

for some reason around here theres lots of orange female

Based on our experience it seems that, while some cats can become lap cats, no cats like being held more than 30 seconds.
