Neither in evolutionary terms. Both are excellent at the skills needed in their environment. People in this thread are most likely to just pick whichever is their favorite animal.
Basically both of them can be smarter as well as stupid. All it depends on their skills that you teach them. Therefore, for a dog it is easy to teach and for a cat it's bit harder.
They are both dumb. My dad calls my cat a dumb ass all the time and I shoot Air Soft pellets at my neibors dog so I don't know/
A Dog can become your best friend.Mostly the cats are dependable on you but a dog can help you in your day to day activities too. Ofcourse, you need to give them a basic training.
Why surprised? True. We don't have dogs, snakes, lions, tigers, or anything of that nature. These tiny islands are too small for them.
Cats are definately smarter. They are not as eager to please humans compared to dogs and are far more independent.
I like the sound of that. I'm always finding dog, snake, lion, and tiger poo on my front lawn...well dog @ least. it really grinds my gears when people walk their animals and then them go to town on OPP!! {other people's property!!} Have some respect.
I have neither, but i would say dogs, simply because they have more emotions eg jealousy (newborn babys) and they are more attached to owner. having said that standing in dog poo is the worst!
Dogs do seem better than cats to me... I think I might get one soon. And uhm... Yeah I think dogs are smarter, I guess.
They are both great bets, but one sleeps 18 hours each day and does nothing and the other one is a bit fun.
