I don't think a person's preference in pets makes them more or less intelligent than the next person. I do think people who have cats probably have to be more patient people because cats seem more likely to push boundaries and can be harder to train.
I did not make it up, I heard it this morning. If others answer then I will give he answer/comment which they said.
I also don't think a person's preference has any (real) implications regarding intelligence. I know there has been speculation but I don't think it has much merit.
I do think certain personality traits would be more frequently associated with cat/dog people, though.
Due to not receiving email for a few days, (several people had that), I did not know that anyone else had entered an answer.
I heard on a radio show that cat people are smarter than dog people. I did not say that - they did. I do not even have any pets.
Interesting question, Kevin. When I first read your question, I thought, oh no, Kevin is going to open up a can of worms on this one, then I read a bit further in your commenting that you heard it on the radio. Wonder how they determined such? Hey, I am both, so wonderful what that makes me : )
Blessings always

So which do you think is smarter, cats or dogs? I know that all their personalities differ, and it depends on the breeds. But overall, I'd have to go with the felines, cats. Yes dogs have a higher social intelligence that the cat can't match. But, cats seem way more intelligent, very cunning and...

Are dogs smarter than what we give them credit for?Personally I think my little dog is pretty smart. Do you think they know more than what we see?

Do you know someone who is smarter than you are, and how do you feel about that person?EG:- You find yourself saying things like "She thinks she knows everything". In your head you hear the corollary "She DOES know everything and that is why she is so annoying."
