anyone a scientist?
They both hunt man. Cats for their instictive pleasure, but where the dogs have I beleive the upperhand in intelligence is that dogs can hunt in two different manners. They can hunt on their own, their own instictive way, or they can be trained to hunt for our pleasure, our style. This plays into effect the lolalty factor again.
Honestly there appears to be two types of responses to this and from the people who think cats have more intelligence, they seem to have the feelings that cats are smarter because they act for their own well being.
People with dogs seem to think that dogs are smarter because they act for other people. Can some conclusion be drawn from this
?Then again how do you measure intelligence? Assessing a persons current mental ability(Kring, Davinson, Neale, & Hewitt, 2007) is what is said in this text. If that is the case there is multiple ways of assessing an animals intelligence and different methods will provide different results.
