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........

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
