Dogs are smarter than cats, study finds - BS

I'd rather know the difference in intelligence between dogs, octopus, pigs and crow...
 
Dogs do it better.

I'm on serious dubs here and I don't know if it would violate some rule on posting violence/gore but go to YouTube and search for Ratting With Terriers.

Yeah but all you need to do with cats is leave some food on a plate now and again. Seems like a fair deal.

I would rather live with mice in the house than have to pick up dog shit everyday.

If you live with a cat inside you're living with the lovely ammonia fragrance of cats shitting and pissing inside your house constantly. After about 4 months a puppy is good enough to not shit or piss in the house, you just let them outside a couple times a day. No big deal.

Cats are fucking filthy. Living with cat shit in your house is disgusting, and you most certainly have to pick it up out of their filthy fucking litterbox which they track cat litter out of and all around the house, covered in cat shit and piss.


It sounds like the toxoplasmosis has gotcha bad, mayne.
 
Cats were traditionally used to kill rodents in your home that can spread diseases, not completely useless.
IIRC shunning cats is part of the reason the black plague killed so many people
 
I think because cats are more passive with humans they're thought of as less intelligent.

They both excel in different areas imo. There probably isn't much between them.
 
I don't get what behaviors cats exhibit that makes them smart. Smart is the ability to learn to solve problems. Pretty much everything a little piece of shit fur ball does is predatory instinct. A cat will chase a red laser dot forever because its pea brain will never let it learn that it can't be caught.
 
Cats are fucking retarded and useless. If you have a cat in your house you probably have toxoplasmosis and your cat is putting sick cat voodoo in your head to make you think you like cats.

Dogs are true companions and an asset to humankind. Dogs save lives in many different roles, from bomb-sniffing dogs to blood-sugar and seizure-sensing dogs to seeing eye dogs and on and on and on. Cats just sleep on your face and try and kill you.

Next thread.

So animals are only useful if they serve some purpose for mankind? That's retarded. Cats are awesome animals on their own and so are a bunch of other animals. The universe doesn't revolve around friggin human beings get over yourself.
 
The research assumes that cats WANT to take part in the silly little human games.

Cats aren't dumber. They just don't give a shit.
 
I like both but cats are obviously much, much smarter.
This.

They're also per capita some of the best hunters in the world. No lie, the common housecat is considered top ten for hunt success rates.
 
Seeing eye dogs, cop dogs, guard dogs, hunting dogs etc

Cat
 
Dolphins and mice are smarter than everyone. Where are those tests? Thats right, you can't test the intelligence of those who are testing you.
 
They're both pretty fucking dumb

Well they stalk and catch birds, mice etc..They have better survival skills than dogs, I'd say they're much more calculated.

If you're not poor you get a self cleaning litter box. All the waste is automatically dumped into a sealed receptacle lined with a plastic grocery bag. You simply throw out the bag every few days and put a new one in. No smell and no coming in contact with an animal's shit like with a dog. Cats can also be trained to use a toilet fairly easily. When have you ever seen a dog use a toilet?

Dogs are cool too, though. Not sure why some people feel the need to be either or. Speaks to the natural divisiveness of mankind, I think.

<mma4>

I did not know that.

All the same, I'm cool with cats - We have like 5 or 6 on the farm. I just don't like them inside. Littlerboxes stink and they shred furniture. Outside genociding the mice and songbirds is fine.

lmao


Amateur hour. Cats are literally extincting entire populations of animals homie. That's a fact.
