Are Cats Really More Intelligent Than Dogs?

This is a tough one! If you're a cat lover, then you will confidently claim that cats are far more superior and intelligent than dogs. If you are a dog lover, then you will claim that your canine friend is better equipped in the intelligent stakes! The truth is it all depends on how you measure intelligence of an animal.

Cats and dogs are so far removed from one another as a species that it would be a minefield to try and distinguish a test that would be fair to both animals. For starters, cats are loners. They hunt on their own, where as if they had to fend for themselves, dogs would hunt in a pack. Cat's paws are much more dexterous than dogs because they have to be nimble enough to catch their prey such as mice. Dogs on the other hand can hunt down larger prey if they work together in a group.

Although both kittens and puppies grow at roughly the same rate, cats do toilet train their kittens. Dogs on the other hand don't. However, if you are looking for an animal to train and become a life-long companion, then you won't get better than a loyal dog.

It really actually depends to be honest cats are smart and clean while dogs are playful and loyal, not that cats arent but have you heard of any stories on cat saving peoples life's? Im sure you have but not as much as a dog so cats and dogs are both equal... Depending on how you treat it.

Well, I like both ;) But I think that when a dog runs after a cat can make lots of mess... Cats actually can also but they can Easley go around gently objects wile the dog will just run into it....

I would say penguins... Dogs look up to us, cats look down to us, pigs see us as equal, giraffes cant help but look down to us, mice cant help but look up to us and penguins simply defy logic. =D
