Smarter? Cat v Dog
    #10843757 - 08/12/09 02:47 AM (14 years, 7 months ago)

This is one of those questions that can never be answered.  But go ahead and have fun.

For fun, I'm including all animals of dog and big cat.

based on the animal training expertise I have been taught I would definitely have to go with dog on this one

In the end though. Don't you think the dog is stupid as it lets itself be trained to do stuff?

Whereas the cat just does whatever it wants to do. Mostly.

Well, you have to give the point of a man's best friend to the domesticated dogs since they always sniff out drugs for the cops.  But really, to the Shroomery it's man's worst friend.

On the other hard, the ancient Egyptians saw cats as gods.

Your pick.

BTW, all big cats are awesome.

Cats act like they're smart, but they're not that smart. They're intellect has been compared to chickens, definitely dogs, they can learn commands.

i don't view being able to train something as meaning its more intellegent.  at anyrate it seems like cats have dogs outmatched on the food chain.  i honestly can't think of the biggest form of a dog other than a wolf:shrug:

i imagine the reason cats don't train well is because they are dominant, its in their gene's to be king

there are dog breeds that do all right for themselves being natural hunters like say hunting dogs!

little terriers are naturals at hunting rats and stuff

theyre pretty equal when it comes to surviving without humans and cats are on the dogs food/kill list

Cats, by far.

As someone who loves and has owned at various times both cats and dogs there is little question that dogs are, more or less, complete morons.

Not only are cats more intelligent, but they are more deadly as well.  When I am allowed to genetically modify my forest cat to be a 165-lb guard cat she will eat pit-bulls and rottweilers for lunch.

I always thought cats were pretty stupid in general, animals do some amazing things in time of need but in general I think they are way below dogs.

First you have to define 'smart'

Does the ability to be trained make dogs 'smart'

:justdontknow:

Does the ability to survive alone make cats 'smart'

:justdontknow:

There are all kinds of 'smarts'

You can't claim one species to be 'smarter' than another.
There are simply too many variables.
