I think you guys are missing the point. It's not important how smart the animal is while alive, but rather how tasty they are after being slaughtered and slow smoked for about 18 hours.

Hmmmm... good point SOB.

Cats tend to dry out when smoked that long unless you use the water smoker. Even then, they're less than optimal. So they'd rank lower than pigs for sure.

Nothing beats a hickory smoked Golden Retriever.

A measure of social development is the ability to form social groups. Cats never managed this apart from lions. Dogs, on the other hand, naturally form social groupings.

Cats only have a 50 word vocabulary, while dogs can learn up to 200+ words.

here is a little experiment for you... take three weeks of dry food and water and a large clean box of say, sand and then leave on your cats for three weeks while you go have a great vacation.... do the same but do it with a large dog instead next time.

Let me see.... drool and moist "I wuv u cuz I'm stupid and am a pack animal" eyes or fun vacation?

As for vermin... I don't care about motive so long as the vermin are eliminated. We got two cats at work... there is no more destruction by vermin (chewed electrical...feces etc.) course the first few days the place looked like a slaughter house with blood halfway up the walls and little mouse parts from a dozen or so vermin scattered all over the place but...

I like cats fine. They leave me alone and I leave them alone. My hands don't stink after I pet em and they don't drool.

Lazs is right as always.

Cats also have pretty sophisticated social behavior. Some kittens get taken away from their litter and mother too young and don't get socialized, so maybe that's where people get the wrong idea. A socialized cat is a completely different animal.

I don't know how smart they are though. I do know they are pretty clever when they want to get somewhere or eat something. How many dogs have figured out how to use doorknobs and faucets? We have one cat that not only knows how to open doors, she knows how to unlock them.

Dogs are smart enough to be trained for many different tasks:

Seeing eye dogs
Drug sniffing dogs
Sheep/cattle herding dogs
Police dogs
Army dogs

Cats seem to only follow their instincts. Cant be taught much/anything.

Intelligence isn't a matter of what you can brain wash an animal to do.

The only thing that dog is pulling the blind person down the street for is so it can get it's next treat.

Cats and Dogs don't have a word vocabulary, the associate the varying pitches coming from our mouths with something they've been either beaten into submission to understand, or saturated with treats.

If you think dogs are super intelligent, my dog will prove it all wrong. Dumb as dirt doesn't even begin to describe it, I'm not even sure it knows it's own name...

You're absolutely right Wlfgng, the ribs are much larger and there is so much more meat on it's hind quarters. An absolute feast for a family of 8. Best thing of all, you can have it fetch the hickory sticks for its own flavoring.

ouch.. lmfao!!!

damn dude.. that's some funny chit

Toad · « **Reply #57 on:** August 08, 2003, 05:15:40 PM »

That is true. Cats will usually only wash themselves for you before entering the abbatoir.

AKS\/\/ulfe · « **Reply #58 on:** August 08, 2003, 05:31:25 PM »

If you can get a cat to enter anything and keep your eyeballs, I salute you!

Pffffttt.

The recorded sound of a can of tuna being opened with an electric can opener would have them stampeding through the very gates of hell itself to get in.
