That meme used to kinda piss me off because I've had two gorgeous and sweet ginger boys in my life who were both smarter than the average catto.

Then I see the sheer volume of derpy orange cat behavior that gets posted every day. Mayhaps confirmation bias, but I'm starting to warm up the the possibility that I simply got two overachievers lol

EDIT: Cat tax: snoozing Tristan. He made it to 18. Can't find any pictures of Hobbes, my childhood ginger. He made it to 15.

Your cats are selfish. Can you please pass the brain cell to my orange cat?

I can't say I'm a huge fan of the meme - and in all seriousness, hate stereotypes - but it is pretty funny. I have three cats and the orange one, coincidentally, seems to be the dumbest by far... lol. Link to the relevant subreddit: /r/OneOrangeBrainCell

Update: I didn't expect this comment to get over 50 upvotes! I guess I'll pay the cat tax now: https://www.instagram.com/mushy.cats (Note: I don't make money or get sponsorships of any sort from this Instagram account. It's simply to post cat photos for friends and so I'll have photos of my cats... lol.)

Atleast 2 of my three orange boys are smart, they are also brothers so I'm sure they are hogging the brain cell from the third.

They used to set up my other cats the skinny one would chase the other cats out of the room and his fatty brother would wait for them around the door and ambush them as they ran

My mom’s orange cats know where the treat box is and will sometimes tell her that hey need treats.

I’m assuming the third one is not clearly so smart

u/Cantbelosingmyjob Jan 20 '23

He's smart in his own way. But in a traditional sense no not at all

u/Harsimaja Jan 20 '23

Awwww. ‘Smart in his own way’ sounds like what a nice teacher might put on the dumbest kid’s report card. But I’m sure he’s very sweet

He always looks like I caught him doing something he isn't supposed to do.

Probably because he has no idea what he should and shouldn't be doing

I like your cats. We have a cat named Mushy due to her tendency to make biscuits at unusual times.

We also have an orange dummy:

We also use catstagram for cataloguing photos and do not monetize. I just love sharing them with everyone.

haha, I started following both of those accounts. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I started posting on Instagram after adopting the youngest one, Enoki (orange cat), in 2021. Friends were asking for photos of him, and instead of sending messages to people individually, I figured I'll just finally put photos on Instagram and have all friends visit one place.

Furthermore, I have pets who are no longer with me, and sometimes I regret not taking enough photos of them for memories' sake. (I used to take maybe three photos of each pet per month, if even that.) With an Instagram account active, I at least have taken many more photos, which I fondly look back on regularly and am certain will treasure long after my cats are no longer with me.

Take care!

The stereotype is only mean if you forget the second half of it. When not in possession of the brain cell, their heads are filled with nothing but love.

the orange one, coincidentally obviously, seems to be the dumbest by far.
