    It explains that Dogs have a different kind of intelligence.. You could say the more useful kind.

    Why? Because cats don't care. If they are in a maze, they check every nook and cranny for food.

    Cats only do things that fit their goals.

    There is one report of a cat using a doormat as a doorbell. He picks it up and drops it, it makes noice, and someone comes to open the door.

    That's intelligence, if I'm not mistaken.

    If a cat was shown to help an old lady across the street it would only think: "Why? I don't need to do that for survival."

    They're not social, like dogs. It's instinct, depending on cultures. Dogs for example live in packs, where they have to help each other.

    I never said Dogs arent smart, but you seem to think Cats are stupid.

    Im guessing you never had a cat, right?
    I don't think they're stupid, I think they're STUPIDER than dogs. They obviously have a kind of intelligence; I just don't think it's on the same level that dogs have.

    And actually, I've had two cats, and neither were as intelligent as the dog I have now. They were unable to be trained to do any tricks and one was actually stupid enough to forget how to walk through an open window.

    And I posted that before I read your edited post. If not noticing a link is ignorant, then I'm sorry.

    As for the doorbell thing, yes, that does show that the cat has intelligence but it doesn't show that that intelligence is higher than a dog's, which is what I thought we were arguing about. Dogs are able to do things on that level and higher.

    I'm going to post one more quote to make my point, then I'm going to leave. You're giving me an headache.

    Most dogs are very intelligent, which is obvious as they can easily be trained to do tricks, fetch sticks, etc. More specialised dogs can be trained to guide blind people or carry out other specialist tasks such as detecting explosives and illegal drugs. They are also good at mazes. A man called Pavlov experimented on dogs by ringing a bell each time he fed them. Eventually ringing the bell with no food present was enough to make them start salivating. 'Pavlov's Dogs' is a common saying.

    Cats are good at judging people and have woken people up with an intruder in their home. Cats have alerted humans to everything from hidden explosives to gas leaks.


    Different..

    kinds..

    of..

    intelligence..

    You can't compare apples to oranges. you can say Dogs are intelligent, you can say cats are, but you can't compare the two.

    Because comparing would be done to our standards, and we are humans, not animals.

    Again, no need to personally respond, cause I won't be reading it. If it's for general reading, knock yourself out.

    I generally like dogs better. It's easier to get them to pay attention to you and play, or have them cuddle. Most cats I've been with are pretty picky about all of that.

    Why does "easier to train" mean "smarter"? You probably couldn't train me to get your slippers whenever you snapped your fingers. That doesn't mean I'm not smart, it just means I'm not your bitch. :P

    I hate cats. I also hate dogs. Now, the guinea pig, that is the superior animal.

    No. I'm at work using BoB's Simplified and it doesn't show Rank. I honestly thought you were an Admin. Then remembered that you weren't.
