One of my favorite things to point out in alt text for photos of Anders is how if you zoom in you can see the tumbleweeds blowing around behind his eyes.
Amazingly, we later had a male tabby who was dumber than Brainstem ever managed. Hell, he was dumber than the goldfish. I know this because THRICE he fell off things trying to track the goldfish around the bowl, and the fish definitely did it to him on purpose the second and third times.

"I wonder what goes through his head."
Me: "Wind."
That was the cat we named "Brainstem," (eventually rehomed to a neighbor kid who really needed him).
