Cat, Horse, Greyhound..........which.........


Recommended Posts

......is the least intelligent?


Horses look beautiful and people love them but they race with a jockey and continue even if he has fallen off.

Greyhounds chase electric rabbits.

Cats.....get lost all the time.


They all seem a bit stupid. Am I being harsh? Which is the most intelligent/stupid? I don't know.

Horses are extremely intelligent, so I would put them top. As for cats and dogs, well some dogs are smart and some are daft. Same with cats. I think the cat has to just edge it, because they are so independent. But then again, the smartness of a breed like the border collie is something to admire.


Good Question though Alan :)

I'd be pissed off with that car for scratching my record.


ANYWAY! What the feck are you on about? Has a dog ever made a hit record, created a work of art? A cat written a novel or a screenplay? A horse discovered the theory of relativity or discovered a cure for any diseases? Can any of these animals even spell or count? No. They're all daft as a fecking brush.

Well aside from Mr Ed the talking horse (I kid you not) there are various stories of clever horses, including this one that can count http://news.discovery.com/history/smartest-horse-hans-120107.htm


Besides, if you believe my signature, I am a dog that can use a computer 😉

That's because cats are too smart to let themselves be used as slaves.

The "encephalization quotient" is a widely accepted way of estimating an animal's intelligence. So dog, cat, horse in order of decreasing intelligence (or increasing stupidity). But it's pretty close.


This (along with Louisa's insightful comment) got me wondering if we should be eating only big and stupid animals? Looks like there is a very good case for crocodile meat.

My interpretation of Darwinism, is that animals who are predators/carnivorous tend to be the most successful at survival and consequently are higher up the food chain. But that's all turned on its head when you judge mental intelligence (or is it ignorance?) of humanity, when we use weapons to hunt and destroy mammals who may be physically stronger than us but mentally weaker.

if you count success by numbers then sheep and cows are incredibly successful found all over the planet as they have allowed man to domesticate them........

    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.
