One cat is smarter than 4 dogs. Video proof

1. you are comparing an older taller cat to a bunch of baby puppies?

Heh, I had a dog that could turn a door knob. Had to change to a lever door to keep her inside.

3. I have a border collie that can turn doorknobs

He hasn't figured out the deadbolt yet.

6. I'm sure he's working on it

11. Then I would have no purpose left in life

Since my primary role seems to be door opener.

7. yes, mine was a border collie/lab

used to lie on the couch and watch Nova. (and Lassie, but she didn't like me to tell people about that)

4. No way those dogs would jump and use leverage to open a door

like that cat did. No matter how tall. And I don't those those are puppies, they look like small terriers, probably full grown.

8. they were described as puppies in the text.

and and it was a joke. I need to have some sort of humor emoticon I guess to indicate when we are all joking around.

13. No worries, I got that you weren't being all that serious.

I was wondering how come your dog could open a door knob but not a lever. Seems like the lever would be easier.

15. I meant the kind like

not a straight lever, that would be my storm door, but the kind where you grasp the handle and click down with your thumb. [link:[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]|

16. I had two Cockapoos that often escaped from the fenced in back yard

I couldn't figure out how they were doing it. One day, I hid in the bushes and spied on them. Jazzie would jump up onto one gate, lean over and grip the latch in her teeth. Once she had a good grip, she lifted it up, meaning she unlocked it. Brittany would wait until the gate was "unlocked" and would jump on it, pushing it open. Once the gate was opened, she ran through and Jazzie soon followed.

Jazzie was the one who could always crash barriers. She once opened a bedroom door, walked across the hall and opened another bedroom door because there was a poodle locked inside she wanted to get know better.

Brittany was very directionally oriented, and once Jazzie figured out how to break down a barrier, Brittany often led the way to whatever trail they wanted to pursue. What a team.

2. I'm impressed

5. Got a Maine Coon that can open door knobs and lever handles.

He goes wherever the hell he wants.

9. I hat cats. But then little dogs like that aren't much better...

I love larger dogs.

[BainsBane]

10. I cry foul

If you want to compare cat to dogs, it's not right to pick a breed of dogs smaller than the cat. Here's a smart dog for you.

[Merlot]

14. That dog does look almost as smart as a cat...

Those little terriers don't even qualify as dogs in my book.

[BainsBane]

12. Since border collies have already been mentioned

Here is another example. I'm not entirely convinced Yorkies are really dogs. Just saying.

17. Four dogs got a cat to open the door for them.

It seems the cat knows it's place - a servant of dogs.

18. Who let the dogs in? nt
