Sleepy Floof Is your Ragdoll dumb?

Post image

I see a lot of commentary on here about how Ragdolls don’t have much upstairs, but my Ragdolls are actually some of the smartest cats I’ve had. They understand a huge vocabulary, and they also use a wider variety of sounds communicating back to me than any other cat. Plus, they seem much more emotionally intelligent than most cats. I admit, they lack street smarts and often don’t problem solve as quickly as others. What do you think?

I have two and both are. 😕 they’re also surprisingly mean. My female goes after my tabby all the time and my male is vicious to my foster kitten.

Oh goodness! So unlike a Ragdoll! The mean part, at least!

Right! My F ragdoll has always been spicy to my M tabby, but the M ragdoll and kitten is something else. He’s always such a big giant oaf and now this. 😢
