The single brain cell variety.
Fun fact. The reason orange cats are dumb is actually not inherent to it being orange!
Turns out it's just that male cats are MUCH more stupid than female cats and orange as a color just so happens to be tied to genes that are unlikely to emerge in female cats.
That means orange cats are more likely to be male, which makes them stupid.
The 19% of orange cats that are female, behave perfectly normal
Turns out it's just that male cats are MUCH more stupid than female cats
Our striped cat begs to disagree, she's about as intelligent as an angry bag of rocks.
Imagine if she was a him!
I spent the last half an hour trying to find anything related to different intelligence levels of male and female cats.
I did not find anything.
Male cats tend to be more playful and affectionate, but there is no difference in intelligence.
Incorrect. Orange cats are dumb because they're stuffed so full of love that there's almost no more room for braincells.
Don't spread false information. Yes orange cats are more likely to be male. No, orange cats are not less intelligent. I've just researched it.
As a fact? No, orange cats are not less intelligent.
Orange cats just have a single brain cell, and honestly it's pretty impressive what they can do with that.
Male cat are more likely to engage in risky actions though. Male cats will attempt to jump to a further ledge than females will. We don't know why this is entirely
Don't most mammals have males taking greater risks?
Wasn't there a subdeddit called "whywomenlivelonger" full of nothing but the stupid dangerous shit that us men do?
Unclear. Especially in female dominant mammals it is not known
Add this to the list of questions to eventually ask the aliens
My absolute stupid idiot orange girl disagrees
Smae. Some of it is probably learned from her goofball idiot caretaker, but I'm just gonna say one of us has lost a fight with the ceiling and it wasn't me.
Edit: this made me realize I've never actually tried to fight the ceiling. Hold on gotta test, will report back.
I've heard of lots of people that have won against the ceiling. The trick is to go from the attic and just jump down onto it!

Gonna need a citation on that claim about male cats being less intelligent
That's not fun, or a fact.
I have an orange cat in the family and I can confirm both that he's stupid and he's male.
We, however, have several other male cats, they're not all as dumb as our orange boy.... but they're also not orange, soooo. 🤷♂️

In my experience it's the orange and white ones you need to watch out for. Orange ones seem to be dumb but dopey, white cats are full of evil chaos but orange and white ones seem to get the chaos part and the dumb part. Just pure undirected non-stop dumb energy lol.
My White Calico wanted to be the lapthing of a Bond villain. I did the best I could.

My cat's breeds are whatever breed of cat you find in dumpsters and car engines 🙃
Standard American Shorthair.
Bonus points if it's a foundling or feral you just fed until it adopted you.
a foundling
The shapeshifters from DS9?
Damn, FromSoft skipped right over DS 4-8 to go straight for DS9. How is it?

I'm among the many who have a Standard Issue Cat.
The common dumpster cat, if you will 🧐
Yeah we found ours as an older kitten living in the wall of our detached garage, she was pretty feral. It might as well have been a dumpster. Ten years later she's a sweetheart. But she's addicted to catnip treats. I'm an enabler.
jokes on you I have no idea what breed my rescue is, he is the cutest and bestest boi in the world though.
There's something wrong with your cat's face but I think they're cute
Looks like a very gentle best boi
I think that breed is known as "cutie".

I am no dog owner but who the hell would think thats a husky
You'd be surprised how many people call all wolf-ish primitive breeds 'huskies'. Everyone in my neighbourhood thinks my dog (profile pic) is a Siberian husky, though it's more understandable since she's a related Siberian breed.
I've had someone ask me if my corgi was a husky before. Um. No??

Why would a cat's servant care about the breed?
To know how best to address their majesty
Peasants don't need to know the name of the reigning dynasty they only need to know who's in charge.
The only breeds people mention are ones that are notoriously annoying. Persian, Siamese, Sphinx.
Everything else is based on appearance... tabby, calico, mackerel, "maine coon" (which is often used to describe cats that *aren't* maine coon)
Persians are well known for being one of the more friendly breeds. I can't confirm because my family doesn't believe in getting pure breeds
You forgot tortoiseshell, which is both famously prissy and named after a pattern
