Yeah, I know. Here’s another of those scientific animal studies that prove something most people already knew, but with a new factoid I didn’t actually know…
Dogs have about 530 million cortical neurons while cats have about 250 million.
And to put that into perspective…
[H]umans have around 16 billion.
Which, if that’s the only determining factor, would make the average human roughly 30 times smarter than the average dog.
Which in turn, from the dog’s point of view, would explain the invention of the can opener.
Any cat is (compared to humans) an absolute genus…at being a cat. Same for dogs.
Your cat is just more optimized. Your dog is more general purpose. Sports car vs Pickup. Both are fun.
Lol well our sports car is neurotic and seems to hallucinate on a regular basis
Lol but a sports car should at least be embarrassed to be sat on by a pickup
