Is A Dog Really Smarter Than A Cat? I Check the IQ of My Husky And Kitty 

Cats are smart

Cats xd

@@Saturn.Gachaa You right 😉

@@MarKusWasTaken ❤️

OK. They're all kind of equally----- stupid. Not a crow amongst them!

I didn't see a lot of planning from either group. The saw the treat, and tried bee-lines to them. I have seen especially intelligent cats at the shelter who might have reasoned out "pull the glass over, then get the treat" but I think that's a rare thing among pets. Crows and ravens would do it though, and perhaps squirrels.

Confundes inteligencia con instintos y movilidad felina, por ejemplo las hormigas hacen cosas incluso más increíbles, ¿Acaso por eso son mas inteligentes que los gatos y perros?.

Sometimes I feel scared of my smart cat... He understand everything...

I used to have a cat that could open the cage at the vets, he was taken in to be neutered next thing the veterinary nurses realised the cage was open & he was following the nurses around the surgery, he also did it again when he had to have an operation on his tail same thing opened the cage & got out.. little Houdini.. lol

Indeed cats are quite adept at using their paws always

Essentially have hands and still did a worse job than the dogs. Yeah it's no contest. These dogs are way smarter than that cat. That being said though the dogs are adorable and that cat is gorgeous.

@@austinjeffries5741 untrue

@@gp4868 lol the video says true. The dogs did way better. Cats even had a advantage of paws being able to fit in the cup alone and able to grab with paws still did worse. Cat had to have help dogs didn't. Can't had plenty of force to knock over object and lift it. It was simply just out performed.

@@gp4868 How could you say that? Those dogs are definitely adorable and that cate is for sure gorgeous.

Thank you so much for sharing this interesting story ❤️❤️

My first cat, Chita, was so smart, that many years after her passing, talking about her I said to my friend that Chita was very smart, to which my friend replied: “Chita wasn’t a cat. She was human”. Never seen a smarter cat than my beloved baby Chita. 😢

My cat can recognize Churu sticks. I just need to wave it and she will come

My Yorkie did the same

@@chitto_horizon yeah, she would open doors. She would especially let my dog out of the bathroom during bath time. They would team up on me as they both were extremely and creepily smart lol.

Christine, we're sorry for your loss 🙏 Yes, Cats can open the door like that 😊

I had a cat in my teen years and she would jump on the door handle and open it without any issues. Loved that cat, I think I will do a video on my channel on intelligence of a cat 🐱 ❤

My Husky used to open my room door the same way. He would always barge in uninvited with a triumphant expression on his face

No, simplemente los perros saben actuar rápido

A ver amigo parece que no entiendes que los perros y los gatos tienen distinto tamaño, masa y fuerza para poder comparalos sin que otros factores además de la inteligencia influyan.

@@adrizs6767 Y es que los gatos son más desconfiados y les gusta analizar todo. Verás a un perro comerse algo que vaya en el aire que le lances.. pero un gato va oler, ver y pesarlo. El instinto cazador de los gatos es el mismo que no les permite caer fácil en trampas Y ser meticulosos. El gato por naturaleza Es más confiado.

​@@adrizs6767 simplemente eran más grandes, los gatos hasta con sus patas agarraban la golosina y se la ponían en la boca

True. We're only just starting to understand that certain lizards, like monitors, are a lot smarter than we once thought but their brand of intelligence differs from our own and dogs and cats.

Indeed, what a stupid person, acts irrationally 😅

They were over it especially Yuki lol 😆 😂

That look alone suggests they're highly intelligent 😂

"What happened to you, why are you making things harder" f**k

Truly "puppy dog eyes" 🥺

🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

not me

Meeeee

Me i love cats

I like dogs🐶🐶🐶🐶

I know it’s very rude for cats to look each other in the eyes. I had two cats who always sat so as not to make eye contact. My little cat Twinkie would slap my big orphan Sherlock around. I think sometimes it was because of side eye. 😮

My himalayan cat also opens door. One i was locked out and he jumped up and open it from the inside. Before he opened it he yelled and cried at me 😂

He cunningly sits back and watches whatever I do. Opening doors, how i eat and pick my food, even how i lay down. He copies everything. Sits at the dining table on his chair and scoops food off his plate into his mouth. He sleeps on his back, arms on his chest, like me😂

I had a Maine Coon like that. He would copy all your activities. And stare at you while doing it, super errie. It felt very much like he was trying to figure out how to be human. When you pet him he would stare at you and pet you back.

Truth be told, we have no idea how animals think/feel. Only last year, scientists declared that fish have feelings. well, DUH! I think that intelligence, like many other human subjects, is a construct.

Thanks Maja 😄❤️

That attitude is why I love cats so much.

I was thinking will the cat know what to do because he saw how the dogs got the treat ?

@@davidrogan1292 Maybe. They learn quickly when they peek.

@@sesch1372 😻

Ahaha! I had to motivate the Saga with a lot of goodies 😂

@@NorthYukiHusky hahah psshhhhht!

@@NorthYukiHusky Perhaps Saga was sly as a fox.

I have a cat and this is soooo cute

@@mariashaffer-gordon3561 my cat was chewing a charger and I was watching this and if I didn’t see him eating charger he would be probably very injured right now

Thanks Brain 😻😻😻

Thanks ❤️ Yes, it's interesting. What do you think a big cat would do? The size of a husky or a malamute. Would a big cat use force?

@@NorthYukiHusky Oh, that's an interesting point! Would a cougar approach the problem like a dog or like their smaller relatives? Would a chihuahua (or other small dog) approach the problem like a cat or dog?

I had a Bassett hound who opened a latched cooler, opened a pack of hotdogs, sucked all the hotdogs out, then closed the cooler lid... bassetts are brutal when it comes to stealing food! A friend of mine had one who somehow broke into someone's cabin and ate all the meat in their fridge lol.

Aunque el perro fuera pequeño, no dudo que haya hecho exactamente lo mismo que los perros grandes.

I think a smaller dog would not be able to get the food. The size and strenght of the dogs made it a lot easier for them, so in this case the cat had to put more effort to have the same results.

Ikr, it's weird to compare them since Dog's noses r better than cats,yet cats have better legs than dogs,they r totally different, cannot compare them.

@@Rabendaa538_- You can compare them, but they are what they are. They traveled different evolutionary paths.

@@andreasplosky8516 you get my thoughts wrong, because I'm an animal lover,and you say compare dogs to cats or vise versa in biological field,but this one,I actually don't like that,they say "dogs/cats r better", that's why I totally disagree with them,I respect both cats and dogs lovers even I'm more of a dog lover.

Cats noses are better than dogs. What?

@@GoldenHordeofBerke I don't think anybody claimed that.

But cats are more dexterous with their paws 😅

You havent seen cats acting then😂 Dogs are clearlly smarter

@@robotzombie4754 I have. My cats do smart things, like stealing my food and their treats, of course that's not very good of them

No cats are just stupid

Like people there are dumbb dogs and inteligent dogs...

Oh, I don't think people would have solved this problem for a thousand years 😅

Thank you 😘❤️🐾🐭

💯

Thank you!

Hey, I'm your 100th like.. For your cat. 😊

Reminded me when 20 years ago i had mice in my house. My cat never tried to catch them but waited till mouse trap triggers and then ran to me and asked to give it to him

Mine too lol

Why stupid? Their paws are amazing.

That doesn't make them smart. Sticking your head in where you can't get out is a so-so occupation 🙀😂

@@NorthYukiHusky cats love tight space. Its make sense.

@@NorthYukiHusky it can be indeed lethal in certain situations as the fur can prevent the head from moving out of the container.

If I fitz , I sitz 🤣🤣🤣

Eh it's an instinct thing, makes sense considering most of their prey live in small tight spaces, like burrows, tree hollows, in between rocks and what not. Unfortunately the evolutionary pressure didn't prepare cats for the deathtraps that are jars and glasses

😄😄

"Los gatos son de liquido", confían mucho en su físico

😡😡😡😡😡😡

Thank you for this wonderful story ❤️❤️ My cat Beth is trying to knock food out of my hand during dinner. Or he pulls his paw to steal a piece from the plate. 😄

Definitely wide intelligence gaps among house cats

I did the same thing 🤣🤣My cat clara did better while my other cat theo was just sad and he could not do it. Also Clara can open doors..

Cats every time! far more superior😌

@@NorthYukiHusky 2

Cats are clever manipulators😂

@@NorthYukiHusky that's exactly why I love them lol

@@stgeorge4559 funny reason but yeah,cats can be funny

Indeed cross species problem solving have a heavy issue in result checking. As not human beings, the validity of tests and the pet effective commitment is difficult to determine, less more to determine against other species.

Even individuals are different, too. Same thing for humans

We can 100 percent quantify the differences (e.g. how long did it take, how many attempts, etc.) The issue here, as well as with people, is that the sample size is too small to mean anything. All of your concerns would resolve themselves over a large enough pool of samples.

@@joelsdogbehavior We can objectively quantify the differences but the results you'll get are their ability to solve this specific series of problems. It does not actually test for intelligence, just suitability for a series of problems.

@@Arkayjiya you could say the same about every iq test, personality test, and psychology test in general-- we resolve those concerns by simply having multiple challenges within a single test and accounting for individual variation and consistency across challenges. We than chart individual varation across challenges against group variation and the result is the field of statistics...

Unfortunately cats are not always elegant 😂

@@NorthYukiHusky mine is crazy, but elegant sometimes.

Thanks ❤️🐭❤️

I love dogs but there's a bit more to consider here.. "..But cats certainly aren't dumb. Their brains may be small compared to ours, occupying only about 0.9 percent of their body mass compared to about 2 percent in an average human and about 1.2 percent in an average dog. But size doesn't always matter. Neanderthals, the hominids that went extinct more than 20,000 years ago, had bigger brains than Homo sapiens, but they probably weren't smarter than the Homo sapiens that beat them in the survival game. Surface folding and brain structure matter more than brain size. Unlike the brains of dogs, the brains of cats have an amazing surface folding and a structure that is about 90 percent similar to ours. The cerebral cortex of cats is greater and more complex compared to that of dogs. The cerebral cortex is the part of the brain responsible for cognitive information processing. A cat's cerebral cortex contains about twice as many neurons as that of dogs. Cats have 300 million neurons, whereas dogs have about 160 million. In fact, cats have more nerve cells in the visual areas of their brain, a part of cerebral cortex, than humans and most other mammals. Like brain size, number of neurons in the cerebral cortex may not be a good indicator of intelligence. But it's a better indicator than brain size. The cerebral cortex is the seat of rational decision making and complex problem solving. It also interprets inputs from the senses and from emotional processing that occurs subcortically. It is involved in the planning of action, the interpretation of language (or other forms of communication), and it is responsible for the storage of short-term and long-term memory. Cats have longer-lasting memories than dogs, especially when they learn by doing rather than seeing."

@@r.h.1294 Neat. Has absolutely nothing to do with the orginal post.

" the fact that we share knowledge is key" it sure is. And not only the key of our life but of the existence of life itself.

Yes, humans without learning are stupid and the fact that we invented writing is the biggest reason of cumulative accelerated learning and tool progression

@@badoem5353 and after writing, almost certainly the printing press...

ahaha! cats are quite demanding. every morning they greet me with angry shouts of "Get up slave! Our bowls are empty!"

My cat get her own treat from my room, I still need to open the bag though before she destroyed it herself.

My cat woke me up at 3 this morning, demanding an early breakfast. I'm a total slave😄

cats are smarter. they make you do things. dogs wait and wait because... duhhh derp derp humahn not do...

That's why the cat started tapping the glass at 5:02 like, You need to take this thing off so I can get my treat

Thank you 🙏 Saga is incredibly cute 🐭❤️

monty and Yuki have a mischievous personality , but Saga is more well-behaved and kind . I think that the characters of dogs are more pronounced than their intelligence, that is, they are quite intelligent because they have pronounced personalities

@@hk8450 Maybe you're right ❤❤❤

Dogs from spitz family have some cat like traits. Say Shiba inus (which my family has) are known to have cat like behavior. For instance they clean themselves and never need bath

Me too

Yes, it's just a cute video. Thanks 😘

Just forget how the canin types has more iq… their hunting tactic, their social, their evolution

It's hard to tell that dogs or cats r smarter than one another,yet there's confirmation of biologist (or someone like that) said dogs were smarter than cats (current results),I don't think so

@@Rabendaa538_- dogs smarter… their evolution builded mich more different Than another animals! (I mean the whole canis types like wolf, wild dogs, dogs)

@@Rabendaa538_- usually dogs are smarter. But that doesnt mean cats are stupid in general. In fact they are also smart.

Thanks ❤️

Thanks 😘

Or just use plastic cups, easier for cats to maneuver as well as dogs can too and not glass break danger

That just show how clever dogs are Anyway...i doubt cat can break a glass by biting it...heck they literally haver weaker bite force than human(unlike dogs)

@@kiro253 How does it show how clever dogs are?

@@Fakfrid dogs are less lazy?

​@@minisithunknown5568 wtf does that have to do with any of this? Also, "lazy" is not the right word. You wouldnt call humans lazy for sleeping 8 hours a day.

Saga is not a big fan of eating

Our cats are very motivated 😂

​@@NorthYukiHuskyI made some liver and had to wait until the power came back, and had to do stuff so I left it with a heavy metal lid and put some cans on top for good measure. My cat does like treats, but not as much as liver. Maybe she'd give up with your experiments, but there's nothing she wouldn't do to get to eat liver. It wasn't long before I found the cans on the floor, the lid off and the cat undoing 2 of the 4 seals of the container. The male is food motivated, but not to that point, and I'd say the female is of average cat intelligence. If the male had been more food motivated, he'd maybe have been more delicate in his approach.

🤣🤣🤣 oh cats are so neat!it's unreal

@@MeetimeHolidays Sophisticated killers, to be sure

Thanks ❤️❤️

@@NorthYukiHusky cute ones tho ❤❤❤

🤣👍🏼

Thanks for sharing. Yes, that's right, they're all different 😉

it is so fun to spy on your cats teaching each others some tricks. We rescued a cat when I was a young girl, and she was much cleverer than our tom cat. One day, I saw her showing him how to open a cupboard as she had got used to stealing before we tamed her. He was looking at what she was doing very closely like a well behaved pupil lol.

That's fair, individual qualities matter a lot with both cats and dogs.

😽😻

So after teaching him all that, how cleverly did you have to hide the treats when they weren't being used? xD

@@halfprince I didn't use treats to teach Manhattan how to solve puzzles. I used his toys. I think he enjoyed learning as much as I enjoyed watching him learn. He knocked my Rubbermaid tall kitchen trash can on its side, and played in it, so I let him have it (clean, of course). One day I put a box in there, the opening facing out, then put a ball in it. After he got that ball, I put the same ball in the same box, but with the opening facing to the side, then to the back, then facing down. After he figured out all of those puzzles, I started stacking boxes, with the openings facing in different directions. Nothing stopped him. He just kept learning. He was an amazing cat. The thing is, he learned to assess a situation. For instance, my closets had accordion doors. When he couldn't open them from the end, as he had in the last place we'd lived, he watched the way it moved when I opened it. Eventually, he went to the center of the door, and pulled on one of them. It moved, so he went to see if his head could fit through the opening he'd created. He did that three or four times before he could fit in. After that, he knew how much he had to pull before he could get into the closet. We moved to an apartment that didn't have accordion doors. Three years later, we stayed in my brother's apartment, and his closets had accordion doors. Manhattan went right up to the coat closet, and opened the door. He remembered three years later. My sister used to call him Einstein. I really miss that cat. Oh, something funny… Before he commandeered the trash can for his playhouse, I started seeing his toys in it. I couldn't figure out how they got there, but one day walked in on him putting one in there. He was copying me. He just didn't know that the stuff that went into that container was going to be thrown away. He was so cute.

Lol I taught my cat how to open things when he was a kitten. Not my smartest idea. He has forbidden knowledge now.

@@AnnaHans88 😸😸😸

I had a ragdoll who learned by observation to open doors. We had handles, not knobs, so it was possible for him to grasp them if he just reached up. We also had a Tonkinese at the time, and I saw her try the same trick once, but she wasn't big enough to reach.

Thank you for watching our video. I'm glad you were interested 😘

Yes, and also “Why are you testing me?”, but in my opinion the cat only saw food and tried to get it

Maybe you're right

On the second test, Saga seemed to learn from watching the glass roll from side to side causing the treats to spill out. It looked to me like she tried rocking the glass in the same way to get to the last treat.

@@Toasty_93 saga is much smarter than it seems

It's not the use of brute force what makes us think they're intelligent, is the fact that they were able to understand that using brute force will solve their problem at hand. Brains also includes your ability to know how to use your muscle too.

Monty turned the glass upside down. How was that brute force? He definetly is aware of the law of gravity and how to use it.

Thank you for your concern 🙏 We used a glass with thick glass. We also laid a blanket so that the floor was not hard. In the last video we used plastic.

Cats are good at solo hunting, dogs would need to probably have a group present to have the same efficacy. Not sure what this says about intelligence but in terms of being a predator cats are apparently extremely crafty

You don't know dogs very well, they routinely use deception in some cases, a border terrier we had used to steal his brothers bone by rushing out barking into the garden as if he'd seen a cat (there was nothing there), his brother would rush out after him and he would immediately run back in and grab the bone.

@@glochidiatus Yeah but they also also routinely try and fit a 7ft stick through a 3ft hole... so...

@@glochidiatus We have two basset hound puppies, Millie and Maisy. Today we learned that Millie is con artist. We observed her fight with Maisy TO THE DEATH over a plastic bottle after Maisy stole it from her. Then Millie calmed down, and allowed Maisy to chew on it while she went for a drink of water. I was pleasantly surprised. Maisy, being a stinker, wasn't really interested in the bottle if Millie and her couldn't squabble over it. So she went over to drink water with Millie. Millie slithered back to the bottle and this time wasn't going to give it up so easily. Maisy was still drinking when she realized that she had been fooled. I can think of all sorts of words to describe bassets, but "wily" was not one of them until recently.🐺

😘 Yuki?

Thank you very much! I was sure that this glass would withstand any onslaught 😘

I largely agree that these tests had an element of luck which were shown in the video. Perhaps to truly test IQ, we will need to remove the luck variable and solely focus on ability. But that is another problem

@@RozzWasHere don't forget to factor in instinct as well.

accident give rise to patterns 🙂

Monty turning the glass upside down seemed clever and isn't quite accidental.

actually one of the dogs picked the glass up and spilled the treats on the floor.

Genius

What kind of dog? If Yuki, then definitely yes 😅

Hello Monica how are you doing today

Thanks ❤️

🐺❤️😽

Even as a cat person, I will probably say that dogs are more intelligent overall. However there’s a lot of variance, and cats are smarter than some dogs. Also I have two cats and one is clearly more intelligent than the other. But surely there are variation of intelligence between different species of animals and also there are animals that are overall more intelligent than dogs, such as the great apes, crows and ravens, dolphins, elephants, pigs, Octopuses etc. are all probably more intelligent than dogs. However there are variations among dogs, and breeds such as Border collies are very smart.

Yes, Monty is a wonderful boy ❤️🐺❤️

Hello Sheri how are you doing today

Thanks for the comment. We were absolutely sure that our dogs would not break the glass. Although it seemed dangerous for some viewers.

Thanks Justin ❤️ The glass of this glass was thick. We also laid a bedspread so that the floor was not so hard.

I agree, thank you

Hello Leonora how are you doing

dogs are smarter than cats in general

, mkko9 p

Pp

Yes but I still like cats

Well, science says that dog are smarter and cats are more instinctive, but as I can see, it is more difficult for a dog to use its paws than for a cat

@@1Uni7 science didn't say that. Science doesn't even know how to deduce why humans are more intelligent than monkeys yet. At least not with a conclusive study. Furthermore, I'm not just talking about how the cat uses his paw, but how it seems to trying to determine before acting, unlike the dog.

We do have some idea what makes a brain intelligent. The number one indicator is neurons in the brain and specifically neurons in the Cerebral cortex. Dogs have around twice as many as cats, where as humans have 7-8 times as many as dogs and also several times more than other apes such as chimpanzees.

Oh, this little cat is so cute, I couldn't help but help her 🙂

Thanks! I'm glad you had fun.😁😘

Indeed. The dogs had more strength and could use force for more successful trial and error. Probably would a crow or a pig have made more intelligent moves ;)

Not really. Cats have a predators smarts. Dogs are just smarter

@@HellStr82 Not really.. cats are smarter than dogs.

​@@appleday9616 If that were true then theyd use cats to help disabled people and police. Cats arent remotely more intelligent.

It's a great skill 👍 Only the handles on the doors should be of a certain type. 😊
