 The general cat assumption is that you are living an independent life with no major committments on either side. And, the cat wants it to stay that way. Y'all can spend time if both sides want it, but the cat doesn't want to be bothered into spending time (The cat still loves you. Maybe.).

-Painless is a special stupidity condition in which an individual is so devoid of agency and basic, human functioning as to make it impossible for them to engage in (self-)analysis. The most fundamental human guidance system is our pain, which alerts us to something being wrong. If one is painless, they do not ever get this feedback, fail to see that something is wrong and have no impetus to make lasting changes to their behavior. Actual, physical pain might be the only last thing still reaching their brain.
-Until then, this character is unbothered by the negative consequences of their actions, both for others as well as themselves. They will continue to engage in behaviors that would lead to pain; not because it's useful to do, but because it was the first thing some unreflected part of their brain came up with and - without pain - there was never any incentive to change it.

 At higher levels of stupidity, the ability to recognize their own failures diminishes. While they still feel pain, they are not capable of self-reflecting, identifying causes or changing behavior to fix problems. Being stupid holds up people who aren't and can force them to do extra work. A stupid person may be unreliable and force people around them to constantly double-check the stupid person's work.
-At the highest levels of stupidity, the ability for goal-oriented planning in its entirety diminishes. They too still feel pain, but no independent thought is occurring anymore. What's left of this person's brain is pre-planned, pre-learned, "tincan" behaviors roughly thrown together to make the lowest amount of sense one can get away with. With no sophisticated thought at all, this person is just barely still experiencing "human-ness" (ie. they're human as an //idea//, not as actually living and experiencing like a human).
+Conscious, independent and especially critical tought are now almost entirely vestigial. While this person still experiences pain, their behaviors are nearly all pre-planned, pre-learned, "tincan" behaviors, roughly thrown together to make the lowest amount of sense one can get away with (and only if they //have// a pre-canned behavior for any one stimulus). With no sophisticated thought at all, this person is just barely still experiencing "human-ness" (ie. they're human as an //idea//, not as actually living and experiencing like a human).
