Cats, I believe. Is it smarter to live your life trying to live up to someone else's expectations, or to do your own thing?I love dogs, but i like the fact that cats won't lower themselves to pointless acts such as chasing sticks and rolling over.What if someone told you to sit and rollover, ---you'd probably say:"No, why don't you roll over". :)

Hell no. Cats aren't stupid. They know if it's not good for them & don't eat it. You can disguise poison, but in general they don't eat food that will kill them.

does which is plural because you are talking about more than one, the cat and dog are two, plural.

There is.  Dolphins and monkeys are as intelligent as humans, just in a different way.  Dolphins have their own language that they communicate in and it has been proven that they are of equal intelligence as humans.  There are plenty of animals out there that are as intelligent as humans just in different ways.

it's rabid.  I don't think cats, rabid or otherwise, can type.  and I like that statement about anyone can make almost any statement appear scientific and factual if they're stated out of context or spoken in syllogisms: ID, anyone?

Assuming the doggie IQ test is scored like human IQ tests, that makes your doggie very intelligent indeed.  100 is average.... and it goes up from there.\n\nSue

A cat was walking along and saw another cat standing next to a hole in the wall.  He said, "What are you doing?"\n\nThe other cat said, "There's a mouse in here, and I want to eat him, but he knows I'm here, so he won't come out."\n\nThe first cat said, "Watch this."  Then he got closer to the hole, and said, (in his best dog voice) "Woof woof!"\n\nThe mouse assumed that a dog had come and chased away the cats, so he thought it was safe to come out of the hole.  When he came out of the hole the cat grabbed him and ate him.\n\nAs he left, he turned to the other cat and said, "Now you can see the advantage of knowing a second language."

Basing off speed, strength, intelligence and skill, I believe the Siberian tiger comes out on top.  Kodiak bears are somewhat slow but powerful, not too bright but have decent skill.  A lion has good speed but isn't as strong as a bear or tiger. A lion may be a little more intelligent than a bear but lacks in skill compared with the other two.  The Siberian tiger is swift for it's large size, very skilled, and intelligent. It may lack strength compared to the Kodiak bear but it appears to rank better than the other two.

Depends on your definition of intelligence.They are most definatly able to problem solve and communicate but they cant nip down the shops for some fags and a newspaper.Although would you really say that a species that doesnt seem to have its own survival at its highest priority was intelligent?i think not.It depends on your definition!

I had a bus driver that laughed at the fact humans are animals. Biblically, she said that humans are superior and can not be classified as animals, I believe that is ridiculous, since there not much that is different in us from animals. Of course we are more intelligent, but that is only because we define what intelligence is. Jelly fish or lions probably think that they are superior, so that is also relative. Another point that people may consider is that we have "souls," but that is only based on certain religions. In Hinduism, every living entity has a soul, therefore according to Hinduism both humans and animals have souls. The term human can be used just as a classification of the type of organism in the animal kingdom.

Smarter than what? For what reason? \nBoth species are obviously bright enough to have survived being considered delicious morsels of food by a good many predators in the wild. They have survived aeons unencumbered by the need to spell or get answers to polls, so how much smarter can an animal get?

It is a valid question, and one used against women for years (interestingly, nobody at that time seems to have thought elephants were smarter than men!).  The relationship of the anatomy of the brain to intelligence seems to have only two fairly clear correlations: 1) the amount of surface area folding (sulci and gyri) found on the frontal cortex and 2) the brain weight/body weight ratio.  Under these two correlates, men and women are the same.  There is absolutly no correlation between the size of a person and the intelligence..even though bigger humans tend to have bigger brains.  Now, using the folding and brain to body ratio, we can figure which animals "should" be very smart-and they include ravens, dolphins, and primates.  The raven finding is interesting, because every intelligence test ever given these birds (who have small brains, because they are small animals, but very large brain to body ratios) shows them to be smarter than dogs, and nearly as smart as primates.  Another interesting thing: the only animals that has *both* and larger brain to body ratio than humans *and* increased frontal cortex folding, is the dolphin...makes ya think, huh?

Well that is in the eye of the beholder, I have seen and own a cat that is more like a man then a woman, and cats only seem clever there really just going on instinct, just like a dog.  Example, a golden retriever even as a puppy will retrieve any thing you throw it's bread in to them, just like a cat will use a litter box with out even thinking about it.  But I can say with full confidence that dogs are kinda like men we eat, drink, sleep and play, we are always trying to be dominant and like a dog we just cant resist the opposite sex.  As for cats i don't think that there feminine though they do walk with a little sway and are very neat and clean but again this is do to thousands of years of breeding and it comes to them with out a second thought.  Oh one more thing a cat may be a reference to the female do to the Egyptians, they had a cat goddess named BAST, She represented fertility, sex, earth and home.  This maybe why people relate the cat to a woman.  As for men and dogs maybe that's do to most dogs are working dogs, they spent countless hours around men for thousands of years, Heinz the term mans best friend.

most people believe that animals don't have they basic intelligence to understand what you might say to them let alone understanding religion.  However since they are cold-blooded, I would say the sun.

Dogs are smart, but a 5 year old is smarter. Five year olds can use tools, understand complex relationships and so on.

I truely believe they do. Like my cats all loooove to be told how good they are and dogs do too. Horses are very smart animals and they also have a sense of pride. Quite definitly they know when they've won the race!!!
