How Intelligent Are Cats?

PoC avatarPosted on June 29, 2015 by Michael BroadJune 29, 2015

While some research scientists’ minds may be in a dither over this conundrum, kitty guardians have absolutely no problem answering this question; cats are extremely smart and downright resourceful. Researchers have such a difficult time deciding whether cats are actually … Continue reading →

Is Your Cat Able to Tell When You Are Happy or Angry?

PoC avatarPosted on February 13, 2015 by Michael BroadFebruary 13, 2015

Cats Have A Good Long-term Memory

PoC avatarPosted on October 6, 2014 by Michael BroadOctober 8, 2014

My experiences tell me, with certainty, that domestic cats have a first class long term memory. Isn’t this an indicator that cats are more intelligent than given credit for? Memory is an important factor in intelligence. Reasoning relies on memory. … Continue reading →

Don’t Underestimate the Intelligence of Your Cat

PoC avatarPosted on July 18, 2014 by Michael BroadFebruary 13, 2019

It is quite easy for a cat owner to treat their domestic cat as a “dumb animal” and “only a cat”. By contrast cat guardians treat their cats as sentient beings with brains and feelings together with wonderfully impressive senses. … Continue reading →

“Active Cat” – Inherited, Learned or Stimulated?

PoC avatarPosted on December 28, 2013 by Michael BroadDecember 28, 2013

Why are cats so dumb? Discuss.

PoC avatarPosted on November 13, 2013 by Michael BroadNovember 13, 2013

The word “dumb” means (a) stupid and (b) the inability to speak. Cats are not dumb on both counts. It is people who are being dumb in not recognising (a) that cats have a different kind of intelligence and (b) in failing … Continue reading →
