  • Dogs are smarter than cats, research shows - Telegraph

    I love dogs to no end, but I don't think this study is really relevant in terms of deciding intellect. We all know that you can teach dogs a lot of tricks, and you can't teach them to cats. Is that because dogs are smarter, or is it because they communicate better with humans? I think I... more
