i think it's smarter to shit in a box and cover it with litter than to go poop in the yard. of course, i'm sure i've had far worse pooping habits than either of these options, but that's another thread.

Ok.

Cats are psychic. They can read minds and they can see dead people. Obviously I think cats are smarter, but I think dogs are probably more loyal.

I remember seeing a show, a ten to one backwards countdown, about smart animals.
Dogs were on the list, cats weren't

and they can predict earthquakes and avalanches too, right?

They define smart as something that can be made to do what you want, like work for example. Cats can't be trained, they are too smart to fall for that shit

ZombieKitten said:

jami0mckay said:

my sister used to say mine smelled like air freshener! I think her smell-buds were destroyed from sharing a bedroom with me.

ZombieKitten said:

and

Got to be cats.

Mine knew about the earthquake thing the other week. wasn't till 1am that I understood what she was trying to tell me though.

Dig, squat and burrow or dump on the lawn, I know what I prefer

problem solving skills?

PDogz said:

Those things don't necessarily make cats smarter, just more mystical.

Obviously both are smart enough.

I'd say dogs have greater adaptability to new situations. It mostly shows as willingness vs. cats' independence, but I think that willingness shows more versatility of thought.

But who are we kidding? They're both dumb!

Certain dogs might not be as dumb as some think:


"Various studies have attempted to confirm the intelligence of dogs in a rigorous manner. A recent example is animal psychologist Juliane Kaminski's paper in Science that demonstrated that Rico, a Border Collie, could learn over 200 words.[1] Rico could remember the names of several items for up to four weeks after its last exposure (Kaminski eliminated the Clever Hans effect using strict protocols). Rico was also able to interpret phrases such as "fetch the sock" in terms of its component words (rather than considering its utterance to be a single word). Rico could also give the sock to a specified person."

I had a weimaraner that could do that kind of thing. We were always amazed at how smart she was. She seemed to understand everything.

My german shorthaired pointer is a dolt, though.
