Dog plays volleyball:
It hasSurely cats and dogs are like humans -some are cleverer than others. (Sorry if this has been pointed out before.)
Dolphins, whales and elephants have more neurons than humans - but that doesn't necessarily mean that homo sapiens sapiens is a less intelligent creature.I read today that dog’s brains have around 500 million neurons, twice as much as a cat’s at 250 million.
Not evenly distributed : cat's visual cortex is magnificent. Dogs have a big nose.I read today that dog’s brains have around 500 million neurons, twice as much as a cat’s at 250 million.
Or does it?... Yeah, point taken.Dolphins, whales and elephants have more neurons than humans - but that doesn't necessarily mean that homo sapiens sapiens is a less intelligent creature.
Are they? My intelligence estimation of hoofed animals would be: goats > cows > horses > deer > sheep.and let's not get into whether horses are more intelligent than cats or dogs.
I've got limited experience of hoofed animals but I am surrounded by sheep where I live and they are rather more intelligent than i was led to believe.Are they? My intelligence estimation of hoofed animals would be: goats > cows > horses > deer > sheep.
Dogs are regularly put in the cows bracket, or vice versa.
A lone hunter can't be stupid.
That might explain why our dog will refuse to go a certain way on a particular day, but it seems to happen when I want to do a route we haven't done for a while. If I really made her go the way I wanted, (which would take a long time and lots of cajoling) then on the third or fourth day I wouldn't have any problems getting her to go that way now.I read somewhere: An amateur biologist was walking rounds with his dog to look for relatively rare deaf adders/slow worms and his dog found some routes boring and others not.

I don't think Puss would tolerate such indignity!
They do have nail caps for cats so that they don't scratch something with their claws. I've seen this on "My Cat From Hell". The cat owner's gf was allergic and would have a bad skin reaction if she was scratched.Bless him No I don’t think cats would somehow!
