Which animal is smarter, a cat or a dog2007-11-25 12:30:44

I know dogs can do tricks but i heard cats are too smart to do tricks.

Answers:

it's been my experiance that different breeds of dogs are smarter then others. For example, a well bred german shepard dog should have the mentality of a 13 year old child. Consider how smart that is. On the other hand, some dogs have instincts so bred into them, that it's all they can think of. (husky's want to pull, terriors want to bark, etc.)

Cats on the other hand, may not exibit such intelligence, but are incredibly smart. Their independence makes them this way. They are smart enough not to stray to far from home, potty train themselves and have a keen sense of their owners. They always know when it's a good time to move in for a good snuggle, or stay away till a later time. Dogs will want a good pet or snuggle anytime, without consideration of their owners. They are more "needy" then cats. I guess it's all a matter of preferance. I love them both. I appreciate both charactoristics.

cats totally

I think it depends on the individual animals. Both cats and dogs can be smart or stupid.

Dogs can learn more words than cats can, and they're probably smarter. Unless cats are really the ones who have it all figured out and just aren't telling us. ;)

i tought my cat to do dog tricks - but I still think dogs are smarter. They sense your moods and love you no matter what.
