I knew that raccoon was smarter than me.
Brainier as in more likely to follow your instructions? Or in more likely to get you to do what they want?

Brains have less to do with it than “scientists” think.
Why the hell do you think Grumpy cat is grumpy?
Cause he is tired of this hogwash!
At least cats are smart enough to NOT ‘bark at the moon’ for hours and hours.
the cats say those extra things are just for emotions.. we don’t need them as we are much more methodical...
With this study, cats now have dogs exactly where they want’em.
Did you know if they let a dog talk all he would say would be bacon. If you let a cat talk all he would say is why are you making me talk!
My joke, sorry. I am a doggie person these days. Cats way smarter than dogs, just sayin’!
The first week I brought home our current dog from a shelter one night could hear my hubby laughing and Fredd running around the living room.
Hubby had his red laser light on and Fredd was trying to catch it. He still goes nuts over that red beam.
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.
I’ve never seen a “seeing-eye”cat helping a blind person....
Dogs may have bigger brains, but cats have (ahem) other appendages that are larger. (I hope I cleaned that up sufficiently.) Years ago we brought a 3 year-old cat into our home where we had a large dog. She was maybe 8 lbs., and she walked right up to this 70 lb. bruiser and slugged him once in the chops (no claws out or anything). He was cowed by her for the remainder of their days together. It always makes me smile to think of her bravado.
Most cats seem far closer to wild than most dogs. They’re wiley and their prey behavior is cute at times, mistaken for play. Many dogs are not all that wiley and not all that high prey, so they can seem rather goofy. But, they do know their people and they do understand language from their people, to the point of having to spell anything they’re enthused about and they’ll eventually figure that out, too. Dogs are also highly emotional. Cats really can’t be described this way. That’s the difference.
I am tired of all these crap studies trying to find out which one is smarter. I love both cats and dogs and have two dogs and three cats in my household. They all are quite smart and I love them all.
