Hi, cats are very smart if you have noticed there whiskers are wider than there body and this is for a reason, If a cat tries to get throught a hole lets just say in a fence and there whiskers touch the sides then they know they wont fit through so a cat wont attempt it. This is why whiskers should never be cut not even trimmed they need them incase they ever get out and need to escape from danger.. A cat can sense danger and can also tell when a person is going to have say an epileptic siezure... So i would have to say cats are just as smart as dogs even though they dont look it IP: Logged |

Most cat people would tell you cats are smarter than dogs. I personally think they are about the same. It all depends on the individual animal. But in general, it is more of a personality thing than an intelligence thing. Cats are generally more independent and don't look to people to provide a pack or even for their approval. Dogs do. Cats cen be taught just the same as dogs - they are food motivated. Do a search on the web for clicker training with cats and you should find some videos of cats running an agility course. So, I don't think one is smarter than the other. They are just different types of critters.

I agree with Jamiya! The cats just tend to be more independant, and aren'tas willing to accept the commands, let alone obey them! THey might for treats thougH! IP: Logged |

I agree with Jimaya as well, I think they are both intelligent, but they go about getting what they need in different ways and their needs are different. Dogs crave human attention, cats will let you know when and if they will accept a pet. IP: Logged |
