Cats are among the most intelligent creatures on the planet. Although studies on feline intelligence are ongoing, scientists believe that cats are uniquely smart when compared to dogs and other animals. And of course, if you're a cat owner, you've likely seen evidence of your cat's intelligence firsthand.
Yes, I have 2 cats and this post will show you how smart Batman & Robin are.
1. They mew when they want to get out to enjoy the patio.
2. At exactly 7AM, they climb in my bed to wake me up and get fed.
3. They respond to my clapping and voice commands.
4. When they see me holding my back scratcher, it's time for them to get out of my way.
5. They respond with affection, when I pet them looking at me with their doleful eyes.
6. They know when I am tired. They will lie down by my side and stay close.
7. When I am in the computer room, both of them keep me company even If I ignored them because I am busy writing.
8. After I returned to the apartment after a long absence, Robin greets me with a big mew. Batman brushes my legs and wants to be petted by lying his back on the floor.
Based on several studies, behaviorists believe an adult cat's intelligence is comparable to that of a 2-year-old human toddler. Studies have shown cats have object permanence recognition, an awareness of objects that aren't directly visible. That is, out of sight doesn't mean vanished forever.
Cats are known for their aloof personalities and mysterious natures, which often gives the impression that they're more intelligent. But both cats and dogs have high levels of intelligence in different ways. For example, cats are often better problem-solvers, while dogs excel at social intelligence.
Cats can recognize their owners' faces, voices, and scents. Even though cats don't have the same eyesight as humans, but they can still distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar faces. They may also use body language and tone of voice to recognize their owners.
I adopted B& R when they were 4 and 6 weeks old. They are now 2 years old. Here are two short stories of their adoption.
