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

No science. We shoot cute and funny videos about our furry family! Welcome to our channel. We are sure you will not leave without a silly smile on your face 😜 / @northyukihusky
We will also be grateful if you click "THANKS" under this video 😘❤️🙏
Cats VS dogs compete in intelligence. Who is the smarter of the pets? Dogs or cats? I know the answer. But I suggest you solve this riddle yourself. Watch this funny video about the competition of cats and husky dogs. Which of the pets will get the treat out of the glass faster? This is a very exciting game that I like to arrange for my kitties and puppies to develop their mental abilities
We love and embrace you!

I'm a neuroscientist and I can tell you: hand and face coordination is a hell of a skill! Kitty might have failed to complete the task with the glass bell, but the fact she thought of using her snout and paw at the same time and almost managed to pop it open is fantastic. It requires so much more skills that pushing a glass down and wait for physical forces to drive the treat out. (I'm a dog person, but gotta give it to the cat, little murderous genius)

[@dyadica7151]

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.

We had a Maine Coon cat who was super intelligent. He not only figured out how to open a fanning door by himself, but when we got a new cat he tried to teach it how to open the door by demonstrating how to open it, then pushing it back closed (something he ordinarily did not bother doing), then demonstrating again how to open it by pulling at the right spot, and made sure the other cat was watching. If you held him up to a regular door he wanted to go through, he'd try to turn the knob by gripping with both paws and twisting it. If he wanted to go out, he had a meow that sounded amazingly like "out". He also understood a fair number of words. He'd also do things like stare down dogs barking at him when we took him for a walk, and wait until they sheepishly looked away, then proceed with his walk again. By the same token, we've had dumb cats too. And smart and dumb dogs. And smart and dumb budgies. The problem with testing some animals is: What if it doesn't feel like working its way out from under a basket, or whatever test you come up with?

[@maramakesjournals2319]

He can also get an automatic feeder (the ones that run on a timer) open in less than 3 minutes flat. I've tried every feeder I could find and none have passed the Lux test yet :D Actually feeding toys are really great for both cats and dogs. It satisfies their natural instinct to make some effort for food, plus it's so much fun to watch them figure it out - entertainment for all!

[@methos-ey9nf]

I remember watching Nova: Dogs Decoded (or something similar) and they were talking about the connection dogs have to humans. As an example they put food inside a cage and first let a wolf into the room. The wolf circled and circled the cage getting increasingly frustrated trying to get the food. Then the repeated the experiment with a dog. The dog circled once or twice but very quickly turned to the humans as if to say "C'mon opposable thumbs! Help me out here!" I think that's pretty significant. We humans tend to fixate on an individual's intelligence, but the irony is our success as a species lie in our social ties - the fact that we share knowledge is key.

[@r.h.1294]

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."

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.

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.

I don't know if you can tell a whole lot from a test like this. A dog's reluctance to take more drastic actions may have more to do with the dog being conscientious than lacking intelligence. They may be thinking, "Will human be angry if I knock over the glass? Am I allowed to break the glass?" It's doubtful such thoughts ever enter the cat's mind.

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

[@fredmercury1314]

Depends on the dog and the cat. My Maine Coon was shockingly smart. I once witnessed him execute and entire hunting plan, that involved dashing out the flap in the front door, around the block of houses, which takes a few minutes, then silently sneaking over the back fence (which is usually a loud, clambering affair)... to blindside a rat that was scurrying back and forth 6ft from the wide open back door. But my boy knew he had no cover for a direct attack, and the rat would see him, so he made a complex plan to approach from cover. I've never seen a dog do anything that deliberate.

[@aneily]

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

[@glochidiatus]

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.

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.

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.

[@brendangolledge8312]

Honestly, I don't know if the dogs understood anything other than that they need to push the object with their nose or paw to get the treat. I have played similar games with my dogs, and I think it's easy to confuse aggressiveness (pushing really hard) with intelligence.

[@NorthYukiHusky]

Maybe you're right

[@Toasty_93]

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.

[@alexis.d.santos]

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.

[@Atlanticmantic]

there is a report out there by Neuroscientist Suzana Herculano-Houzel that says "Dogs may be smarter" based off very primitive reasonings, Neurons but by going that level then Lions are even smarter as they have more neurons than a dog. Dogs have twice as many as a house cats so they assume dogs are smarter. BUT they then go on to say Cats are better at solving complex problems way faster than dogs and that Neurons isn't a sure fire way to measure intelligence because that would Make Elephants smarter than Humans. In the physical testing Cats won the IQ test in the medical testing of dead brain matter Dogs won. So the debate is still alive and well. All I can say is go out and rescue a cat or dog today because they need your love. Also we all know that not matter what "YOUR" dog or cat is the smartest! Right?

From this video alone it seems that cats are smarter. They more logically determined to stick their pawn into the glass which is more similar to what a human would do. Many times the dogs getting the treat seems as causality, the glass that fell due to the force of the push, but there was no intention to make it fall. The cats seemed to think about it and have more intention and therefore intelligent

[@1Uni7]

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

[@asligaletto8196]

@@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.

[@martin231181]

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.

[@edi9892]

Both seem to have had more accidental victories than planned ones. It should have been really easy for a dog to pick up the glass with it's jaw, but none thought about it, nor did they use their paw... Cats use instinctively their paws, but it wasn't nearly as good as it could have been.

Not a fair competition....dogs are stronger, and can knock or flip things over. The only time a cat can knock or flip things over, is when the glass is half full of liquid, and is sitting next to your computer or important papers. Also, cats can reach into spaces with their claws, whereas dogs do not have that ability.

Years ago I had a mixed breed dog from a shelter. Not long after getting him, while going through divorce, I had stayed with my parents for a few days/weeks until I could find a place. My dog had never been to their house before. (they lived in a row home in town) I couldnt take him there, because they had pets, and were concerned about them getting along. I had an uncle who lived about a mile away, in a more rural area, who allowed me to put his dog house in his yard, and chain him up there until I found a place. He was in a body harness, and chained to a tree. The next morning, he was scratching at the door at my parents house (after I had left for work) He spent the day being friendly and playing with the other pets, so my parents gave in. That was one smart dog. I miss him.
