Why do humans care so much about what color people are, when...?

Question

...in the rest of the animal world color variation is extremely common and means nothing at all?  

For example, when my cat had kittens, there were three different fur colors in the one litter (two black, one white, and two orange & black striped).  If what color you are is so important, why didn't my cats hate each other?
