Dogs are cleverer than cats because their friendly character has helped them develop bigger brains, a study set to end the argument between pet lovers has shown.
The intelligence of “a man’s best friend” has evolved at a greater rate than the less social cat over millions of years, scientists at Oxford University have claimed.
It was often thought that the feline pet was smarter than its canine counterpart because it needed less attention but researchers have discovered that cat’s brains are smaller because they are less social.

My cat was reading this along with me, and I literally had to hold her back from the keyboard - I think she wanted to fire off a scathing reply...

Dogs obey and become slaves, cats enjoy liberty.

My dog says to tell you all it is true. She is actually the smart one - I go to work all day and she plays, sleeps, eats, whatever she wants to do. I she had thumbs, she would be posting on FR.

I know you’re kind of joking, but it is a far more complex relationship than slavery.
We have domesticated them - they are what they are because of us

Dogs want to live with you.
Cats condescend to live with you.

Apples oranges. Cats aren’t dumb, they’re just different. And they don’t like to be alone, that’s a myth.
