    One of mine is pretty dumb but she does know I’m about to vacuum as soon as I pick up the first of her toys off the ground lol. Maybe that’s why she’s so dumb, I guess all of her intelligence points went into that and now there’s nothing left for other stuff

      There was a behavioral study that proved fairly conclusively that cats recognize their names but unlike dogs simply don’t care that you’re calling them.

      I think about this a lot when people call their cats dumb. Maybe they just can’t bother with us…
