Are Cats Smarter than Dogs?
However, I have felt that just because a dog will do tricks and most cats don’t, is not reason enough to say cats are not smart.
My theory has always been that cats are so smart that they won’t learn any tricks unless they want to.
It is not something they have to do.
Dogs by nature are social animals and their main goal in life besides eating, is to please their people.
Cats on the other hand lack the “gene” that makes it important to please anyone, but themselves.
Why have I brought this subject up?
Well I read an article that discussed feline intelligence in Cat Watch, a magazine put out by Cornell’s School of Veterinary Medicine.
It went on to say, at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine, researchers have found that the structure of a cat’s brain and that of a human brain are very similar.
To quote the article “the physical structure of our brain and that of cats are very similar: they have the same lobes in the cerebral cortex (the seat of intelligence) as we do. Our brains function the same way, conveying data via identical neurotransmitters.”
What that means, is our cats take in data from the 5 senses and process it just like we do.
Hmmmmm, thinking cats. Who would ever believe that?
But, it is true, cats process things in a way similar to our way of thinking. They actually make decisions.
Animal Discovery.com says that cats are: “incredibly resourceful and self-reliant, the species has survived thousands of years in radically different environments and living conditions. Even domestic cats show a crafty, strong-willed and versatile nature.”
