“what breed is your cat?”
“he’s a stupid asshole is what he is, i love him”
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
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.
That tends to breed dumbass tendencies.
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!
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!
Don’t leave us hanging like that. How did it go?
Are you hanging from the ceiling?
Hospital
I like that reference
I once tried, ended up bruised. But you should have seen the other guy! Tiny dent.
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. 🤷♂️
My boy, fifteen pounds of Bombay or Mandarin Void figured out he could team up with the dog to pressure me for treats. Not brilliant but not a doofus.
Our girl cat is way dumber than our boy cat, but she is also a Siamese cat.
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.
Do you often rotate on a swivel chair? That might fulfill her desires.
Mostly she sat in my lap and directed me, but yes chair rotation was involved.
My current kitty is a void who isn’t into laps but hanging nearby. He has his own stool in the kitchen by which he observes food prep.
Sounds awesome, you have your own little shadow hanging around!

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?
I was thinking Mandalorian
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”.
Looks like it has some lab in it
Wow, such a cute pup. Really looks similar to the old guy I lost a few months ago…
No way did you put shlatt there
No shlucking way

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??
How much drugs and/or alcohol were involved?
A wojak with a troll mask, it seems
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
Hey my cat has a genetic mutation that makes him cold all the time in our canadian climate
Cool, lets breed more of them!
You forgot tortoiseshell, which is both famously prissy and named after a pattern
Maine Coons are super cute though. Just saying.
Chantilly Tiffany, which is every long haired black cat.
Tortoiseshells are known for having “tortitude” but aren’t really their own breed, its really just a description of their coat
“American short-hair” covers a surprisingly large number of “breeds” that people think are out there.
Dog breeds are also just appearance tbf
@irmoz Not really, they’re also temperament *and* biological conditions – like, in many cases, detrimental susceptibility to things like cancer, cataracts, or bone disease. See: Golden retriever

What breed is that? Garfield
Isn’t that a Samoyed? Or Sammy, or smiling Sam?
Cloudy boi
Yea, i’m pretty sure that is a Samoyed, while the cat is an Orange Tabby. You can identify tabbies by the ‘M’ on their forehead! :D
What does the M stand for?
Honestly? No idea, it’s been years since i learned that little fact
Millie, my ex gf’s cat
its the orange shlatt-cat (also known as: the shlat)
