This post brought to you by my dog C.K. who turns 11 this week and says “DUH.”

The intelligence of “a man’s best friend” has evolved at a greater rate than the less social cat over millions of years, scientists at Oxford University have claimed.

It was often thought that the feline pet was smarter than its canine counterpart because it needed less attention but researchers have discovered that cat’s brains are smaller because they are less social.

    Brilliant Boston Terriers Spike and Gizmo concur with the sagacious CK.

    Dogs have owners, cats have staff. You don’t need a big brain if you can fool that silly human into using theirs for your benefit instead!

    We performed a scientific study at burningbush u. Of 100 dogs and 100 cats, 100% of the dogs drank toiletwater and ate their poop, while 0% of the cats consumed their own fecal mater. (some of the dogs in the control group did however consume feline fecal matter)

    Pfft!

    This is a blatant smear campaign by the Swift Kennel Pups for Kibble! I object to this outrageous and awful attempt! ;)

    My cat does that same thing with his mouth that CK is doing in this photo. It usually means he has eaten something that is not food.
