[QUOTE=chowder] You can train a dog to go fetch a newspaper in the pissing rain, a newspaper which the dog can’t read. Try teaching a cat to do that and then tell me which is the smartest animal [/QUOTE] It’d be the cat. The cat KNOWS it can’t read the damn paper. If humans want to read the paper, let them get it. Of course the dog is a total sucker. He’ll do anything you tell him. ---

Not to diss all you cat people, but when is the last time you heard of a seeing-eye _cat_? Hell, they’ve managed to train _ponies_ to do that shit before they can get the cats to do it! They tried, but the cats would only ever lead people to the fish market. 😃 ---

I think the fact that sums up cats best for me is that cats really can see color; they just choose not to. ---

Dogs are completely superior to cats, no question! Of course dog owners are inferior to cat friends, as all they (dog owners) want in a pet is obedience and worship… Besides… you can “own” a dog (that is what it lives for), but at best, you can be friends with a cat… If you have the heart mind and soul to do so… regards FML [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/more-proof-that-dogs-are-indeed-superior-to-cats/397801.md?page=1)
