Cats: Yes, They are Awesome. (And I believe they are smarter than Dogs)

Admit it, when you see this picture you think "Ha ha, that cat is stupid". Well I'm here to change your mind about that, and to show you that cats are quite smart, and not dumb as the stereotype suggests.

Exhibit One: Dogs have masters. You know who rules the cat? The cat rules the cat. For those of you with cats, you must have some idea of what I'm saying here. Dogs are social creatures they NEED someone to follow, to rule over them. Someone to please. This is why Dogs learn tricks so much more quickly and willingly than cats. Cats are not too dumb to learn them. They just don't see the need, especially if there is not an awesome treat at the end for performing. Even if you are trying to train the cat, and he seems to not be paying attention, he may well be learning. One very credible example of this is when a man bound to a wheelchair and with other medical complication as well tried to train his cat to call 911 if he had ever fallen and could not get help himself. The man was never sure if the training stuck. However one day the man did fall and could not reach his medical alert necklace, but police showed up anyway, looking as confused as he was. "Daugherty (Police Officer) said police received a 911 call from Rosheisen's (the man) apartment, but there was no one on the phone. Police called back to make sure everything was OK, and when no one answered, they decided to check things out. That's when Daugherty found Tommy next to the phone." Tommy is the mans pet cat. The quote was taken from this article :http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10663270/. As you can see even after he tried to train the cat many times and the cat seemed to "ignore" him, the cat was still learning. I picture the cat thinking this during the training: "Man, ok, I know to push this button thing when you get hurt, but your not REALLY hurt. Please stop bothering me, I GET IT!"

Exhibit Two:Both humans and Cats have identicle regions in the brain responsible for emotion. It's true. Look it up. This means that if you think your cat is mad at you and therefore is Shunning you, You are probably right. Dog owners, when is the last time you dog was smart enough to be angry and shun you for something as simple as not patting it when you come home (yes this has happened to me)?

Exhibit Three: Cat freakin' have NINE LIVES! this makes them so much cooler than any other animal, and also much wiser. Imagine if you had nine lives. Imagine how much wisdom and awesome stuff you could learn! This is why cats are so smart. They are probably even smarter than we know. Maybe they are even plotting WORLD DOMINATION!!!

Ha ha. Seriously though. These are my opinions, backed up with facts, about why I think cats are indeed smarter than dogs.
Look at the picture again. What do you see now? (It's okay, I still laughed too)
