    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.

      Our striped cat begs to disagree, she’s about as intelligent as an angry bag of rocks.

      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

        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.

      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.

      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. 🤷‍♂️

      Our girl cat is way dumber than our boy cat, but she is also a Siamese cat.
