Dog lovers claim that these animals are smarter than cats, and vice versa. However, few people rely on real research and facts.
How is animal intelligence determined
Intelligence is the ability to remember details and solve problems.
Scientists continue to explore the ability of dogs and cats to learn commands and solve problems.
Dogs often meet strangers, travel in vehicles, and come into contact with other animals. Dogs normally respond to the experiments of scientists.
However, this method is not suitable for cats. Cats are not as socially active animals as dogs. Cats are more independent from humans.
However, this fact does not indicate the low intelligence of cats.
Cats need a different approach. For example: an experiment with object permanence.
If you hide something from a cat, does it know the item is still there? Or will a cat remember an object if you distract it for 30 seconds?
Dogs are tested for their ability to learn commands, remember words, names of toys, and names of people.
Who is smarter: dogs or cats
The intelligence of an animal does not depend on its ability to learn commands. Since dogs are easier to train than cats, many people mistakenly believe that dogs are smarter.
There is no definite answer to this question.
Both types of animals have their own unique abilities. At the same time, too large differences between dogs and cats do not allow them to be compared in terms of intelligence.
The main thing is to love your pet and engage in its development.
