I’ll take that point. But all in all I wouldn’t call cats dumb. There are some dumb specimen, for sure, but that goes for all beings. And this comes back to my initial point: Cats have some unique “smart” skills, they just don’t compute in the same way as we humans do. I’d put cats in the smart … lets say 10% of all creatures
You’re whiffing on the point. That’s not usual behavior for stray or wild cats, it’s a specialised behavior that involves people and other animals they feel are ‘safe.’ Not an intelligence issue.
Cats are reeeal dumb animals, but people think they are smart because they are pretty.
You’re saying that’s meant sarcastically, and everyone reading is supposed to automagically know that you’re being facetious? Do you find yourself regularly surrounded by mind-readers…?

The fact that they understand dignity hides the fact that they din’t understand much in general
ha, great point
They are relatively smart, but they think like cats not like people and people love to anthromorphize their pets.
Thanks, i guess…
Housecats, not khajit. Y’all are smarter and uglier before Skyrim at least
Some say Alfiqs only live Elsweyr yet M’aiq has held many of conversations with Alfiq when no one is looking.
Mayhaps Alfiq have nothing to say to you?
If smart means ‘thinks like a human’ then I guess so…
here, smart means “aware enough to not run under a titan’s feet”, a test cats fail to meet regularly.
they’re oblivious little derps

whiff
whiff because you failed to provide a “/s” tag?
Sure, buddy.
wwwwwwwhiff
That “omission” is deliberate.
Your literal first comment is:
You’re saying that’s meant sarcastically, and everyone reading is supposed to automagically know that you’re being facetious? Do you find yourself regularly surrounded by mind-readers…?
no, i am not saying that sarcastically.
cats are real dumb. and oblivious. and pretty.
I’m rarely addressed by mind-users, let alone mind-readers.
That’s what He said.
No no. Karmalee was very pretty. Like, model cat.
Dumb as hell. Pretty, but, if she were a human, she’d be a blonde valley girl from the 1980s. The kind the movie Clueless made fun of.
