It's great when pets are well-behaved, but if they're too obedient, it might lead to some amusing situations. A Chinese netizen shared a story about her two-year-old cat, which was usually as gentle as an angel. However, after a veterinary checkup, the outcome left everyone in stitches. The cat's owner described it as quiet and obedient, never causing trouble, and often just staring blankly. But the vet's diagnosis was unexpected: the cat was deemed "intellectually challenged." The owner even posted a photo of the cat, which looked like a British Shorthair with large, vacant eyes.
After the post went viral, many netizens couldn't help but laugh, commenting, "Died laughing, it's so obvious," "No need for a check, just look at that face," "Having a silly cat is a blessing, no trouble at all," and "I died from that expression." Some offered words of comfort, saying, "As long as it knows how to eat, drink, and use the litter box, that's enough," "No need to expect too much from a little cat," and "It's great to have a pet that doesn't think too much, just eats, drinks, and plays."
Some people might wonder how to assess a cat's intelligence. While it's not always possible to judge by appearance, some signs include being insensitive to external stimuli, poor adaptability to environmental changes, and a lack of natural instincts. Previously, a pet blogger shared three methods to identify a cat's intelligence level.
