My cat is very sociable. He likes my lap and follows me around like a dog!

Bigger brains. Bigger stools. That you have to pick up when you walk them.

My cat Sammy is very social and also highly intelligent. He is high maintenance as a result as he is always manipulation and challenging since he was a kitten.
Even the Vet commented when he had to stay through out the day for observation he was watching the surgeries etc in a way other cats never have and that he was clearly highly intelligent.
I wonder—given the social aspect discussed in the article—if Sammy is a dog in disguise :-). (or maybe just a dog in a cat body. lol)

Knowing both dogs and cats through the years, I don’t buy it.

The brains of more solitary mammals, such as cats, deer and rino, grew much more slowly during the same period. Finally a scientific theory to explain the behavior of RINOs.
To: Nachum
Nooooo,dogs have bigger brains than cats cause so much of their attention is focused on kissing human butt!
Cats are way too proud and too cool to evolve additional gray matter for that kind of embarrassing behavior.

This suggests that the cooperation and coordination needed for group living can be challenging and over time some mammals have evolved larger brains to be able to cope with the demands of socialising.'Soooo, people who resist Obama and his social programming have bigger brains than the ones who meekly fall in line...

That’s idiotic. Dogs have bigger brains than cats because they have larger skulls and normally the brain grows to fit the skull. I won’t debate that they have larger brains but to debate that dogs have larger brains because they are sociable is pure speculation.
