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........

    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.
