I did read it. What does it conclude for you? It doesn't have a conclusion, it says nothing.

What it all boils down to is ones perception of what intelligence constitutes. I consider intelligence in an animal to consist of ability to learn, ability to remember, ability to follow instructions, ability to use initiative. Dogs are clearly the superior animal otherwise we'd be using cats to save lives and guide blind people around.

I wouldn't expect a cat owner to understand that though ;)

So then by that logic, if I train you to lick my bum, if you do it that means you're intelligent. If you're stupid you won't do it. :D

Id go along with a reptile of some sort, get an Iguana like the one on Terminator :D

For the love of god, not a cat though.. horrible things IMO.

Dogs are a good pet, but take a lot of work, and need a lot of attention, IMO its cruel to get one if you're at work all day, especially when people buy a breed that would naturally hunt / has a lot of energy :rolleyes:

Dogs are proven to be more intelligent than cats..

Don't think that's strictly true mate, but it undoubtedly does vary from animal to animal just as it does from human to human.

Cats are known for thie intelligence and learning, only thing that makes them appear less smart than dogs is the fact they aren't as willing to please their owners all of the time as dogs are, hence why you don't see them performing a great variety of tricks for our amusement. Dogs are pretty much unique in that respect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_intelligence

Blinking behavior is common in cats and may be a sign of trust or affection. Cats will respond to a human who purposefully closes and opens their eyes by reciprocating the action.[22] This perhaps illustrates a remarkable aspect of cat intelligence that is rare in non-human animals; that they are able to identify and relate part of their own anatomy to the same structure on another species.
