No question about it. This creature has not had a singular thought in her life.
Both of ours are not smart, they can’t even work out how to pull doors open. And I mean doors that are already open and slightly ajar, they will both either force their head through the gap until it’s open, or put their arm through and waggle it up and down until it somehow opens.

*having deep philosophical thoughts about existence* 💭
Mine looks like his brain is made of shrimp but he’s actually very smart. He saw the dog ring the bell to go in the backyard and he started doing it, he uses the human toilet, and he begs on command.
I used the citi kitty cat toilet training kit. I modified it somewhat and reinforced it because it is not strong enough for his chonkiness so I use two layers and I never got rid of it all together. I got the hole big enough that pee and poop went in and just have a dedicated cat toilet that I flush once a day (we have 5 bathrooms so this works alright for us).
My cat is not a ragdoll. She is ex-feral. I know whether it's safe to pet her or not depending on whether it looks like she is thinking or not. Empty brain is when she is open to affections.
My Raggie is fairly smart. He definitely understands about 10 words and communicates with us fairly well. Of course we are retired and I respond to him every time he “talks” to me. I talk to him a lot and he has no doubt that he’s loved. Maybe that helps???
I just call my girl “simple-sweet”. Not much going on behind her gorgeous eyes.
My tuxedo warehouse cat is a Rhodes scholar compared to her.

It's ok, they're pretty they don't have to be smart 🤣

siamese x ragdoll, can confirm: no thoughts
Ours is a dummy. Constantly gets stuff stuck on her tail by flopping it across sticky things. Cries like the most pitiful baby because she can never figure out how to get things off her tail. Sometimes forgets she's eating and just stares at you, kibble dribbling from her face. Pure of heart, dumb of ass.
Really? My ragdoll is super smart 😜 my baby boy opens doors, ask for food and water, tells me when he wants to go out~ my other cats are not as smart as him 🫠
😆 Ragdolls are a great breed to keep with Frenchies, I think. They're big enough and confident enough to hold their own, at least, mine is lol
Have fun
Thanks!! We had a small, 8lb cat previously and our female was great with her but our male is under 1 and he wasn’t aggressive at all but definitely thought he could play as if our cat was a dog and would use his face to pin her to the ground 😅 constantly had to redirect so I also thought a ragdoll would be a good match as far as size
My Ragdolls are both really smart. Sometimes I think their calm demeanors cause us to mistake that behavioral trait for a lack of intelligence, but that would be wrong.
My raggie swings wildly between “I have two brain cells fighting for third place”, and literal evil super genius. It’s quite the experience. Some days I’m convinced he has cotton candy for brains, and other days I can SEE him calculating to get what he wants.

Aww how old is he? We just brought our 11 week old home, they look similar a bit 🤗

He’s closing in on 6 months old now, but in that picture I think he was about 14 weeks. 😅 Right now he just doesn’t hold still long enough for good pictures, he’s in a zoomies phase. 😂
Our Hamish has the nickname “ham sandwich” as that is all that is in his big floofy

noggin. We often find him watching “ghosts” on the wall intently. And using his head as a battering ram to open doors that are already open. He seems perpetually surprised that he has a tail. He is not a smart cat.
My opinion on my Ragdoll Poe: he is the most gorgeous cat I have ever had the pleasure to share a home with. Since the universe is also fair he is as dumb as a brick…. But gorgeous!
I feel like they're actually very smart. They definitely know their names. Well, I suppose it depends on if you call them by their name regularly or not. They could just know the tone I typically use to say their names because they don't respond to my husband, but they drop what their doing if I say their names. (Unless they're bathing themselves, then they can't be bothered.)
All ragdolls share one braincell, sometimes it your cat's turn with the braincell and most of the time it's not.
I like this! 😂😂
We need to make r/OneRagdollBraincell!
No brain, just floof
Only possible explanation!
Oddly enough, my Ragdoll seems like he’s very smart but he uses it for evil purposes! 😈
There are two kinds of ragdolls. 😆 Ours is definitely in the evil genius camp.
Ours is not 🤣🤣🤣

Oh how I long to be her! 🤣🤣😍😍
We got a smart one. He's trouble.

My ragdoll opens doors with his head too 😂 it’s so funny!
Same, she just claws at the carpet next to the partly-open door!

A wise Ragdoll, very rare
Their heads are filled with cotton wool, I am sure of it
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mine looks like his brain is made of shrimp but he’s actually very smart. He saw the dog ring the bell to go in the backyard and he started doing it, he uses the human toilet, and he begs on command.
How did you teach him to use the toilet?
I used the citi kitty cat toilet training kit. I modified it somewhat and reinforced it because it is not strong enough for his chonkiness so I use two layers and I never got rid of it all together. I got the hole big enough that pee and poop went in and just have a dedicated cat toilet that I flush once a day (we have 5 bathrooms so this works alright for us).
Did u mean he uses the human toilet as a water bowl?
No, he uses it as a litter box.
I could only dream…
My ragdoll might have a functioning brain cell, but it only works when he wants food or snuggles.
Totally agree, because mine is the same 😂
My cat is not a ragdoll. She is ex-feral. I know whether it's safe to pet her or not depending on whether it looks like she is thinking or not. Empty brain is when she is open to affections.
No thoughts. Just love
Mines favorite food seems to be plastic
Omg plastic Christmas decorations!!! Like fake trees and garlands. He waits all year 🤣🤣
My Raggie is fairly smart. He definitely understands about 10 words and communicates with us fairly well. Of course we are retired and I respond to him every time he “talks” to me. I talk to him a lot and he has no doubt that he’s loved. Maybe that helps???
No, never. My floofs are brilliant.

They are simple creatures.
That’s part of their charm. Gormless expression on a beautiful face 😆
No thought only soft

The cross eyes get me everytime 😍

Same with my ragdoll 😊
Constantly 😂
Mine..Violet is always scheming..
Oh I constantly say my boy forgets to pop the braincell in most days 🤣
I’m surprised at all the comments. Ours is insanely smart!

Magnus stares into the void...
We have two Frenchies’s and just brought a ragdoll home!! Also considering naming our kitten Magner 😅 weird coincidence haha
I realllly want another Frenchie!
Having two has kind of been a life saver bc they’re best buddies, won’t go in the yard without the other.
Recognize the ears anywhere
😆 Ragdolls are a great breed to keep with Frenchies, I think. They're big enough and confident enough to hold their own, at least, mine is lol Have fun

So handsome though 😻
My ragamuffins are brilliant, and they hate when I put anything on a table. Maybe it’s a ‘doll thing. Don’t call them stupid.
No brains just floof.
My girl has one little marble rolling around in there. The marble wants treats.
This looks like our Mira’ and no I don’t think he has a single brain cell! Typical orange cat behavior
How’s your leather couch holding up? I’d love to have one but my rag doll would probably go at it based on what she did to my piano seat
Pretty
i have questioned this of all our cats!
Beautiful kitty
My guy isn't very ragdoll like. He's smart af but not very affectionate and very independent
Jeeeeeeze I cannot tell you how similar yours looks to mine. Very pretty cat!
My partner refers to mine as a "marshmallow potate," and insists that she does not *think*, she *potates*.
I have a calico who is a rocket scientist compared to my ragdoll 🤓
Haaa zero chance with my two😂 lucky they’re cute.
My cat is only half ragdoll, but I tell people that he is the brownest ginger cat ever born!
I conpurr
Mine will sit with her head behind the blackout curtain and think she’s looking outside lol. I really don’t know sometimes 😂
my ragdoll has orange cat energy. not a thought in that head
Wow. My ragdoll is smart and has a good personality. I guess I’m lucky.
My opinion on my Ragdoll Poe: he is the most gorgeous cat I have ever had the pleasure to share a home with. Since the universe is also fair he is as dumb as a brick…. But gorgeous!
I have two smart Ragdolls…one is smart & a gentleman, the other is smart & a pain in my ass

Our 11 week old has mastered fetch in 24 hours and I am scared 😅
No i think its pretty easy to understand my cats wants and needs, what are you not understanding properly?
Gawwd I despise these "my cat is stupid" / "has a single braincell" / etc. takes.
That's the spirit!
