Hi, thanks for the good comment.Yes, I'll do some work on your suggestion. Of course the moggie wasn't listed, just purebred cats. And moggies are, as you say, the best in many ways including health.

It does show the lack of understanding of the professor determining the dog to be the smartest due to food motivation. Methinks he should have used a ginger DSH instead. It would have figured out the mechanism, eaten the food, AND ran away. ;-)

I do apologise for my humour but gingers do tend to be quite food orientated to the point of being almost doglike, if you have food you're a friend to many.

I must confess a degree of scepticism about animal planet's ranking system given even your own observations with the wildcat hybrids, why are some breeds I know to be highly intelligent and resourceful listed so low?

Might I suggest you include a link to their ranking? I'm curious as to what tests they put our feline friends to to determine this listing.

Nice thinking. And thanks for the comment.

The professor thinks that this who went for the food was most intelligent.

However, the cat is more intelligent since it is going for its freedom and security before food.

A human being will do exactly the same, try to run away from the cage rather that eat and get back in.
