Who's Smarter, Cats or Dogs?

    Some believe that cats are smarter than dogs, and some think that dogs are smarter than cats (including me) because of all the crazy tricks that they can do if you train them to!

    What do you think ? Which Are Smarter, Cats or Dogs? (tell us also WHY ?)

    Cats are capable to solve more problems than dogs I think. Dogs are really stupid :D

    The problem we face when trying to decide if an animal is smart is that we usually judge them based on what kind of tricks we can teach them to do.

    Sure dogs are smart but is the learning of a trick an indication of just how smart they are? Perhaps a cat is just too smart to want to try to please us by learning tricks. Which isnt to say that cats cannot learn tricks - of course they can.

    Ask yourself this - How many cats do you see that are killed by cars and how many dogs? In my experience I have seen many more dogs than cats. Maybe that is a measure of how smart they are? :D

    I have both cats and dogs so I can say both are smart for some sense and both are stupid for some other sense.

    Dogs act as your servant/maids while cats act as your King/Queen ;)

    I think dogs are a lot smarter that cats but no matter how cats become domesticated they still can live as wild.

    No, they aint.
    Once cats become domesticated they are entirely depended on you for their food's need. Dogs are more independent.

    nice one :D may be.. who knows we can never figure out what's going on in a cat's mind.

    Thats exactly why i think Dogs are smarter, because contrary to cats, dogs want to help and be useful, they also feel you and respect you and may even SAVE YOUR LIFE. cats only come to you when they are hungry :D

    I beg to differ,
    It's not that dogs are smarter, but Dogs are more useful.
    The Cat chooses only one master and treat him/her as its mother. They tend to attached to their Master. One of my Cats (The female) is more attached to me. She always tries to be around me. While the Other cat (Male) is attached to my wife and only obeys her orders.

    On the other hand, Dogs are attached to the entire family, unless trained otherwise.

    i hear you but My idea is that dogs are way more responsive to their masters and more understanding..than cats. isnt this a sign of superior intelligence?, but thats only my own opinion.

    Im not sure which one is actually the smarter, but I dont really like cats. I do love dogs. My wife, however, is a cat lover and guess what? Yep, we have a cat.
