Oxford Scientists Say Dogs Are Smarter Than Cats

Velcroman1 writes "This again: scientists at Oxford University claim canines are smarter than felines. And the reason, according to the researchers, is that dogs are more social animals and therefore have bigger brains than the more solitary-inclined cats. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, charted the evolutionary history of various mammals' brains over 60 million years and found a link between the size of an animal's brain in relation to its body and how socially active it was."

Dogs have masters.

Cats have staff.

Spoken like someone with Toxoplasmosis. You should have washed your hands when cleaning the litter box or better yet, never owned a cat in the first place. Your judgement is affected by the parasite living in your brain.
