First up fluffies aren’t dumb they just suck at focusing on more then one thing at a time so for example if there where two balls going towards them even very slowly they could only react to 1 this is likely due to hasibo doing a bit of work back in production to make fluffies endearing
Second fluffies don’t have the best eyesight due to the fact stated above that they can only focus on 1 thing at once
Third fluffies with disabilities are more likely to survive such as blindness meaning they use their nose a lot more and thus can smell predators easier being deaf meaning not talking as much and being mute meaning they don’t talk at all
