Every time I fart my cat does a 6ft vertical leap. I do it a lot you'd think she'd be used to it.

This got me to chuckle. For that I thank you.

Less intelligent than dogs.

They kinda suck at deductive reasoning. They act mostly on instinct and skill of dexterity.

Right that's why dogs will chase air when you throw "something" but cats just look at you like you're weird.

Because dogs recognize that something would have been thrown because your hand moved. Cats lack the ability to imply that something was thrown until they actually see it happen because they sacrifice inductive reasoning for super fast reflexes.

So yes, even that is an example of dogs being more intelligent.

You're also arguing against established science here.

Cats don't play fetch to begin with. They would rather chase after lasers, swat at something you dangle in front of them, or use their recreational drug known as catnip.

Yeah more dogs than cats. They just stare at your hand if you try to get them to look somewhere. Unless you mean sticking your finger in their food... yeah they might catch on to that.

When my cat was little, we used to put him in a room during the night so he didn't crash/break things while he learned to move without breaking stuff. There were mirrors there. He knows what mirrors are, and doesn't pay attention to his image. And he hates other cats, and gets agitated when he sees one outside.

Sperm Whale smarter than humans.

1 [300] Sperm whale

2 (300 including Flynn effect) Human

Both of the above animals are united by many unique factors not seen in any others, including

Specific activity has a dominant effect on the fertility of its domain (= probable farming)
Social group more important in predicting survival than genetics or location (= true culture)
Vocalisations partition among social groups in a way that sharply defines thousands of tribes/pods as belonging to one custom, in a way that cant be explained by genetics, geographic environment nor by vocal learning by those around you (= true language)

I've only seen this happen with one cat and it was our former friend's cat who happened to be declawed but she still somehow got her paw stuck under an oven. She also jumped out the window of a fourth floor apartment -_-

The cat that stays where I stay was being pretty stupid awhile ago.

There is a hospital near the house.

Some low flying choppa flew by nearly scraping the tree tops with lights flashing and noise.

I'm outside having a cigarette and see that the cat sees it and it freaks out and dashes and hides under my car.

I'm like "silly cat, it's just a helicopter".
