Live cat alone and he/she will have no problem with the meaning of survival.

most of u reply based on opinions.if your talking about which is smarter, well lets just see what affects the difference of intelligence between living things.as u know, we, humans are the smartest living thing.what is the cause of that?brain.yes, brain volume is the thing that makes the difference.the larger, the smarter.this is fact about cats and dogs brain volume:

cat: 25.3
dog: 81

see!based on these facts, dogs r smarter.u cant resist it.

but above all of that, i still love cats more.they are just lovable, playful,and not harmful like dogs.

My cats have made it clear to us long ago that they only allow us to live in THEIR apartment because we know how to open the cans of food. I'm sure that if they figure that out, we'll come home to changed locks. [/QUOTE]You betcha! LOLOL One of mine can almost turn the doorknob if he is on something that keeps him up near the knob! Thank goodness he doesn't have thumbs or I'd be looking outside for him all the time!

That is totally a false truth. See, us Humans only USE 10% of our brains (and some I've met, much less [img]smile.gif[/img] )

I believe it's more than just the size of the brain that matters, by that logic whales would be smarter than humans. It's also about how much 'folded' the brain is and the size of it in relation to the size of the body of the host.

[/QUOTE]Nope, sorry Z, THAT is a false truth. We use almost all of our brains . But Stratos is right, brain size isn't important anyway. People with big heads aren't any smarter than people with small heads. And women generally have smaller heads than men but they are no dumber on average.

NO! Ziroc is right. We only use 10% of our brain!
And we think we are smart.


Some Shaoiln priests belive that if we could learn how to use 100% of our brain then we could see our former life before reincarnation.

Hmm cool

We use 100% of our brain, roughly 10% of our mind. Of course it's practicaly metaphysics so there is no way to prove it.
