Gato - Thanks for the lesson! I knew someone would come along with the science to prove this out.
El Gato es muy inteligente
So I've been told, but *usually* by folks, including one or two my cousins, who by their own actions are dumber than posts. Of course a couple of those cousins are smarter than they act, and maybe even than they know, they're just ignorant.
Current company not included of course. :)
