Cats that are relatively less active, less responsive, and less vocalist are called dumbest cats. They have some notable behavioural differences with the normal and vocal cat breeds.
Dumbest cats are a bit slow, but you can call them less intelligent because they have a long-term memory to remember everything. Most importantly, they are as adorable as a smart cat. I love to call them introvert instead of stupid.
In this guide, I will discuss ten dumbest cat breeds. As well as, I will share my experience on the benefits of having a dumbest cat inside a house.
What Constitutes As “Dumb” Among Cats?
Most of the time, we forgot that the intelligence standard is quite different between humans and animals. But all of the pet cats will not have the same intelligence standard as us. A human being’s intelligence standard is responsiveness, communication skill, learning power, problem-solving power, and many more.
On the other hand, an animal has a different intelligence sign and symptoms. We have considered their intelligence in another way since they have no language to decide their intelligence, activity, or thinking easily. The scientist is using “g factor” to find out the cat’s activity standards. “g factor” refers the general knowledge.
However, most active cats can be very responsive. That is why the owner would think it is the smartest cat breed. But it is a natural issue that not all cat would be intelligent as like the cat’s world Einstein.

Smartest cat breeds vs dumbest cat breeds
Known as the smartest, the cat behaves somewhat like a human baby and prefers to jump, demand and cry as if it were a human being. Human considered this behaviour as a part of smartness.
On the other hand, the dumbest or stupid cat breeds behave somewhat like a calm baby who is quite introvert. Here I discussed the comparison between the dumbest and smart cat breeds from three crucial aspects.
Problem Solving Ability:
General cats are so much aware of the appearance of any object even though they can realize the soft, hard, higher and lower object. At the same time, they can dream like humans and can remember things for a long time.
But the dumbest cat would be different in this factor. The dumbest cat might understand a less about the object size and height. Also, it might not have any dream as like human.
Trainability:
You can’t train a dumbass cat as easily as a normal cat can train a subject. However, if you can try with a little time, this cat will win your heart and mind.
Responsiveness:
Your common feline will come fast when you call them, but the dumbest cat might not respond fast like the normal cat. Even if you talk with loudly, then the cat will receive response slowly.
Activeness:
A normal cat would like to play all day long there the dumbest cat doesn’t like to play much. A normal cat will then make vocalization when they need to drink or eat, but a dumbest will stay quiet. So, it would help if you gave additional care for them.
Social aptitudes:
I mean here, social aptitudes are communication power. Although a normal cat can create a great bonding with their regular behaviour and vocalization, a dumbest can’t do it. In many cases, they have less vocal power.
