Derpity derpy derp, your cat is doing a blep!

Every cat pawrent knows that cats are probably the derp masters of the universe, more or less. These blepping faces, staring into the distance, like they're receiving a revelation of all possible futures of this world (and how many of them include an unlimited amount of tuna). These absolutely ridiculous parkour attempts in the middle of the night, while they have a zoomies attack, just because their body demands it. The way they stop mid-run to lick their left leg, and even they have no idea why. Cats are weird.

But as cat pawrents, you must know this truth - we love our floofy feline weirdos, and we wouldn't have them any other way. Heck, we love cats even more when they're being the strange creatures they are. And this is why we know each and every one of you, fellow feline fanatics, document this cat weirdness on your phone like it's a religious practice. And this is exactly why we asked you all, on our ICHC Facebook page, to please show us your cat's weird side in all its glory, close-up and personal.

All we can say is that we love our online feline family. None of you disappointed. All your cats are big weirdo derps, and we love them all. <3

Orange cats, of course, all share one single brain cell, and while that’s obviously a joke (or is it?), their lovable derpiness does have a real-world explanation. Most orange cats are male due to how the ginger color gene is carried on the X chromosome, and studies suggest male cats are more prone to bold, impulsive behavior. This often translates into enthusiasm without planning - leaping before thinking, staring at walls, and forgetting why they entered a room. The “one brain cell” meme sticks because orange cats are famously friendly, curious, and chaotic in the most endearing way. They’re not dumb - they’re just confidently vibing first and thinking later.
Their derp is over 9000!

The Oriental Shorthair often looks like it wandered out of a cartoon and into your living room by accident - and that’s entirely thanks to real, very intentional anatomy. Their oversized ears sit wide and proud, their heads form long, elegant wedges, and their almond-shaped eyes are set just a little too expressively for their own good. Add a slender body and whip-like tail, and you get a cat that looks perpetually surprised by existence. This derpy appearance isn’t clumsiness - it’s the result of human intervention that emphasized extreme features related to the Siamese lineage. The result is a cat that looks shocked, curious, and mildly judgmental at all times - often simultaneously.
Derp is 11/10.
