Dogs smarter than cats?
What do you think of this article? I think that the fact that cats refuse to be tested might show that THEY are actually smarter :) Seriously though, I think it's comparing apples and oranges. Dogs tend to want to please - and therefore may be more willing to take a test. However I had a dog that always wanted to see what the 'reward' was before he did anything - and cats that are very eager to please. I guess at the end of the day, every animal is different!

Dogs and cats are created differently. I have cats and dogs and they are all highly intelligent and wonderful. I find cats gorgeous, mysterious and divine, they are my soul mates. Whoever thinks dogs are smarter, knows nothing about cats.
I don't think this is a fair assessment. Dogs and cats have totally different temperament and personalities. One can conclude that cats are smarter by not conforming to human's standard tests ;)
I tend to agree with you eslina!
Dogs conform to human standards by sitting and getting rewards (food). Cats do not conform and get food served to them. Both are smart.
