21 Memes of Cats Operating On One (Very Tired) Braincell

They say cats are clever and mysterious, but sometimes it feels like they all share one single brain cell, and it's just traveling around from one fluffy head to the next. One minute a cat is scaling the bookshelf with precision, the next it's falling off the couch mid-stretch like gravity personally betrayed it. You can almost see the moment the brain cell leaves.

They'll stare at absolutely nothing for ten minutes, then bolt down the hallway like they've seen a ghost. They'll get stuck in boxes they definitely can't fit in, fall into bathtubs, or knock things over just to watch them fall, then act surprised it happened. Every now and then, one of them has a brilliant moment, but it's fleeting. The brain cell moves on.

Still, it's hard not to love the chaos. The derpy stares, the questionable decisions, the majestic leaps that end in disaster. It's all part of the package. They may not be the brightest bulbs in the animal kingdom, but they're certainly some of the most entertaining. One brain cell. Infinite ridiculous possibilities.
