Stolen from another news group. I thought this was interesting. You might
have some fun. My Max scored 102. Funny because he is a short hair Manx,
which had the highest average score for breeds. Well I said he was cute, I
never said he was smart.

Head butts to all, Lisa.

couldn't get it using dial-up


I tried it on my two Devon Rex cats, they both scored 104... What does it
matter, anyway? They are intelligent enough to be real cats, a combination
of affectionate cats, and completely insane cats, it depends upon the
situation.

IMO, as long as they can eat, drink, groom themselves, use the litter box,
play with me and eachother and give me headbutts and be lap cats once in a
while, and dont hurt eachother, they are intelligent to me...

And don't forget, the most stupid cat in a human's opinion, may be the best
parent out of all...

Well, I wasn't about to take the test 7 times, so I just averaged their
responses and used that. The average score of the Fantastic Seven is
120..

Wow, if I had 7 cats with that high an average intelligence, I'd be
afraid!

Mike is also (half) short-haired Manx, and he scored 112, but I don't
believe it. Mikey's not stupid, but he is not a smart kitty, either.
I am thankful for this every time I read about someone's b*stard cat
tricks, which Mikey's not smart enough to think of/pull off. ;-)

The test for cats seems to be geared to curiosity and activeness.
Sheba scored only 90; but I bet she would have scored a bit higher
when she was young and active.

Exactly what I was thinking when I filled in the test - this is for young
cats. Many years ago, Frank and Nikki would have scored much higher, but
these days, they just don't get that excited very often. And some questions
were just stupid. The water bowl is never empty around here. My cats know
I'm a vegetarian, so they don't come running when I open the fridge door -
they know there is seldom any6thing interesting to them there. Nikki never
ever wakes me up - she sits back and lets Frank do the dirty work. And so
on. (Of course, this has nothing to do with the fact that Frank only scored
99 and Nikki 100. ;o) *I* know exactly how smart they are.)

Better watch out that they don't learn how to use can openers. You
might end up redundant.

Why would they when they already have us to do it
for them?

Cats will not reveal their superior intelligence until
Mankind wipes itself out.

Even if cats learn to use can openers, we are probably safe. Cats
know that it is easier to let the human work for a living and buy the
cat food, instead of the cat having to spend all of its time working.
Also, no one is making cat-sized cars that I know of, so getting the
cat food home from the grocery would be tricky for them.
