I'd be quite willing to say that there is significant overlap in their "intelligence" (as we define it) levels. I, too, have met some terminally brain-damaged cats.

For example, my mom had one that would chase it's own tail for about thirty seconds, then straighten out suddenly, run straight at a chair, and instead of jumping onto the chair, run headfirst into the chair, knocking itself silly.
