Cat-proofing your speakers...

I think cats are smarter but they choose (and is arrogance) to not listen so thats why I happen to think they are smarter. I dont have a favorite as I adore both.
Has2be I am sorry, I am not use to checking that email account often and I was trying to have some fun with your comment. Its hard at times to see the intent in a post and thus at times a reply can be misguided. I am sorry.
The abusive comments directed towards cats got me started and stuck in hostile reply mode, its not funny, not harmless and not called for. Our cat came to us as a stray and still has burn scars and a bullet lodged in his ribs you can feel when you pet him. Some things are just not taken lightly. Cheers

Magfan. Dont you see how brilliant cats are lol? They have even made us note that we work for them, if thats not smart I dont know what is! They decide when to play, when its enough and what they will and wont do all along knowing EXACTLY whats being said. Thats true brilliance!

No Problem at all Chad, I understand.

Cheers

Yeah, Chad, I've had this chat with other cat-people. They all 'mystify' these poor beasts and impart great powers to what is essentially a dumb animal. In one test, dogs will recognize themselves in a mirror, but cats? Forgetit!
Don't forget, I've owned several cats over the years, but never a dog. by choice.
Cats are mechanically clever. You can teach the essentially neat cat to use a flush toilet.
Innovative....they'll mess with something until they get a result. and remember.
Users. Once you are 'on staff' they'll expect good service

But, I've seen a cat back up to an outlet and let fly. Big 'explosion' with breaker popping and a terrified, running cat. It did it the next day, again, just to be sure?

Some anti-cat humor is simply unfunny. make the same joke about a dog and you'll get raked. You'd be better off with a Scottsman / Sheep joke.

I think that WILD and big cats may be smarter. They are under different pressures than what is pretty much a domestic animal...the 'house cat'. Just like wolves may be smarter than domestic canines, and some sub-dog forms like the Chihuahua.

LOL-- Looks like some folks got this website confused with "petgon" -- my cat is comfortable, well fed and always in control-- certainly in a better condition than most humans. He enjoys the finest audio system I can provide, with plenty of classical vinyl at his disposal. He's got quite a good arrangement if you ask me-- just trying to keep "his" audio system in top shape so he doesn't complain.

Some cats are smarter than others, same with dogs, so some cats may be smarter than some dogs. Its like comparing analog to digital, MC to MM, class-d to tubes. Its not always about who's smarter, but rather who is a better companion for an individual or family. Both cats and dogs are earth friendly with low carbon footprints and live in the moment without concern for past or future-- something only a few enlightened individuals and zen monks have achieved.
