Are Dogs Smarter Than Cats? Here’s What Science Says

Pet owners all around the world enjoy (and sometimes get hot-headed over) countless debates on whose pet is smarter. One of the largest and most explosive pet debates is whether or not dogs are smarter than cats. 

Cat owners would argue that cats are fiercely independent and therefore more capable of having free will and intelligence. Cats are simply too smart to be trained to the same level as dogs. Not to mention, they hardly need potty-training. You can point a cat in the direction of a litter box and your hard work is done.

Dog owners would remind you that dogs can be taught harder tricks, are much more loyal, not wandering around from house to house as cats sometimes do in search of treats and petting. Dogs are also utilized as service and work animals all over the world.

Is there really any way to tell which pet owner is correct after all these years of debate?
