Who is really smarter, dogs or cats
A dog really is man’s best friend claims a new scientific study that shows that canines make better pets than their arch rivals cats.
Researchers concluded that when it comes to a number of criteria including intelligence, bonding and obedience, dogs narrowly beat their feline adversaries.
Out of 11 categories selected by the magazine New Scientist, dogs won six compared with five for cats.
Despite cats deemed overall to have a more powerful brains, dogs showed greater ability to understand commands, problem solve and were generally more helpful, it was said.
Cats on the other hand had better acute senses, a smaller carbon footprint and their miaowing and purring was considered less intrusive than dogs barking and whining.
While dogs were thought to bond better with their owners especially as they appeared to offer unconditional love, cats were more independent and needed less care.
This was all down to evolution said the scientists that pointed out that cats were generally loners and dogs pack animals.
However the study admitted that despite the dog advantages, cats remained the most popular domestic animals in the world.
