Are Dogs Brainier Than Cats? Yes, Says New Research Out Of Vanderbilt

[Duppers]

12. Brain size...

I "served" one most amazing Siamese. The stories I could tell about that him are unbelievable. He loved to ride. I've had 2 Siamese but Mr. Silver was far more intelligent. But you'd think the other one was attached to me via an umbilical cord. That girl was never 2' from me when I was home.

But on an intelligence scale, I must give the highest score to our first Lab who was spookily telepathic. She and Mr. Silver cat were best friends. Kellie girl (Duppers) was the love of my life. I felt as if I had lost a biological child when she was hit and killed; her death crushed both hubs and myself so. We were to blame since we had not taught her well about the far road where we thought she must have chased rabbits that fateful 3am. She was too used to our 15mph neighborhood streets but not that roadway. It's been 34 yrs and I still tear up when thinking of her.
(We've carefully taught our current Lab to be extremely street wise. When she hears a vehicle approaching on our walks, she heads for grass.)

And I don't have to tell anyone how smart our Border Collie was but she didn't seem to have quite the telepathic nack our 1st Lab did.

But how do you measure love? There is no doubt that both these critter species have that deep emotional feeling for us.
