Dogs are smart.
Cats are sneaky smart.

Wow lots of ‘Dogs are smarter than cats’ posts in the last few days. You’d almost think cats were them thar stupid Trump voters, and dogs were woke.

Be careful, very careful. You’ve just ignited a quasi-religious war between canophiles and felophiles, a conflict almost as irreconcilable as the 30 Years War. Indeed a fanatical felophile might even try a Gunpowder Plot against you. Take care to secure and patrol all entrances to your basement.
YOU’VE BEEN WARNED.

I’ve never believed the old adage that cats are smarter than dogs.
Cats are obtuse.

Having owned both, cats never seemed all that bright to me. I can understand liking them better than dogs as animals or pets, but saying they’re more intelligent than dogs seems absurd.

My property is patrolled by four big dogs and they are backed up by uncle Mossberg.

And in other news: while dogs distracted their owners the cats killed them.
This study is a bit overblown. There are other categories of intelligence and there are likely alternative adaptations in different animals that increase intelligence. Biology is a messy analog system and you can’t say because one biological trait has an advantage that whatever species has it iare superior.

Intelligence is hard to define in humans...
Actually it's pretty easy to quantify by a number of criteria, but isn't flattering to certain population subgroups, so they make it sound all murky, nebulous, and ill-defined in humans.

All this time I thought our Chow was a Dog.
She is dumber than a Box of Barbara Boxers unless Food is part of the equation.
Wait a minute...
