which is smarter

Second_Rod_Stamp and I have been having an ongoing debate as to which of our chosen pets are smarter. I maintain that the dog is much smarter. I have nearly one the argument at this point thanks to Dots creative bartering.

Last night I gave Dot the yolk out of a hard boiled egg and SRS gave cat1(Garfield)a piece of steak. Dot picked up her yolk and took it over to Garfield and gave it to him and he accepted the trade. Dot ate the Steak and then went over and reclaimed the egg yolk. I assume Dots logic was that the steak was of low quality and consited of mostly fat with very little meat. Garfield seem to agree and surrended his illgotten gain.

Another example of the dogs superior intelligence is when I let Dot in the house. The cats, theres 2 of them, come running and are promptly tackled and mauled by Dot. Now what kind of a critter daily runs to a mauling/dog slobber bath. Not a smart one.

So are dogs really smarter than cats?
