Which are smarter ?

Well, here we go again ;-) We know they're not as obedient, but are cats as
smart or smarter than dogs? Surely, you folks who own both must have some
insights about this.

And which of the cat breeds are the smartest? Shouldn't the nonbreeds
generally be smarter?

I think it probably depends on the breeds weather they are smarter or not.
Personally my dog a boston terriet is alot more stupid then my two cats who
are just mixed breeds. I would say that my boy cat is very smart yet my girl
cat isnt the brightest in the bunch but she's alot better then my dog

Cats will figure anything out, like opening cabinets & drawers. Dogs
won't bother, they'll just accept that something is out of their reach.

Very true!

Cats are more intelligent than humans or dogs. They are also a lot more
beautiful as well.

Well, let´s look at people. Do the smartest people take orders or give
orders? Cats seem smarter than we are. They sure know how to
control us. LOL

generally be smarter?

They probably should but I don´t know if they are.

Cats are definitely smarter. I grew up with a dog & I now have two cats.
This might just be the particular dogs & cats I'm familiar with, though.

Dogs won't try to get around obstacles or figure out work-arounds for
everything you do to keep them away from something. With cats you have
to think ahead and constantly try to outsmart them if you want to keep
them safe and keep some things safe from them.

Cats will figure anything out, like opening cabinets & drawers. Dogs
won't bother, they'll just accept that something is out of their reach.

I've never owned a dog. That's why I ask. However, I've heard of one
work-around typical of dogs: tunnelling under a yard fence (g)

Cats can be very persistent about getting to things other than food.
Relentless at times, if that's what you mean.
