Cats VS dogs compete in intelligence. Who is the smarter of the pets? Dogs or cats? I know the answer. But I suggest you solve this riddle yourself. Watch this funny video about the competition of cats and husky dogs. Which of the pets will get the treat out of the glass faster? This is a very exciting game that I like to arrange for my kitties and puppies to develop their mental abilities
We love and embrace you!

OK. They're all kind of equally----- stupid. Not a crow amongst them!
I'm a neuroscientist and I can tell you: hand and face coordination is a hell of a skill! Kitty might have failed to complete the task with the glass bell, but the fact she thought of using her snout and paw at the same time and almost managed to pop it open is fantastic. It requires so much more skills that pushing a glass down and wait for physical forces to drive the treat out. (I'm a dog person, but gotta give it to the cat, little murderous genius)
I didn't see a lot of planning from either group. The saw the treat, and tried bee-lines to them. I have seen especially intelligent cats at the shelter who might have reasoned out "pull the glass over, then get the treat" but I think that's a rare thing among pets. Crows and ravens would do it though, and perhaps squirrels.
Confundes inteligencia con instintos y movilidad felina, por ejemplo las hormigas hacen cosas incluso más increíbles, ¿Acaso por eso son mas inteligentes que los gatos y perros?.
Sometimes I feel scared of my smart cat... He understand everything...
I used to have a cat that could open the cage at the vets, he was taken in to be neutered next thing the veterinary nurses realised the cage was open & he was following the nurses around the surgery, he also did it again when he had to have an operation on his tail same thing opened the cage & got out.. little Houdini.. lol

The dogs are big enough to rely on brute force and technique in most cases to get the job done e.g pushes and shoves. The cats on the other hand not as big as the dogs and so have to be more deft and as you can see they try using their paws more
Indeed cats are quite adept at using their paws always
Essentially have hands and still did a worse job than the dogs. Yeah it's no contest. These dogs are way smarter than that cat. That being said though the dogs are adorable and that cat is gorgeous.
@@austinjeffries5741 untrue
@@gp4868 lol the video says true. The dogs did way better. Cats even had a advantage of paws being able to fit in the cup alone and able to grab with paws still did worse. Cat had to have help dogs didn't. Can't had plenty of force to knock over object and lift it. It was simply just out performed.
@@gp4868 How could you say that? Those dogs are definitely adorable and that cate is for sure gorgeous.
Years ago my cat watched me put her food in a jar and close the lid. I heard a thump the next day and quietly watched as my cat laid her body on the jar to stabilize it while using her paw to open the lid. I called her name and she jumped up and looked at me guilty. I swear she was a human in a cat's body.
Thank you so much for sharing this interesting story ❤️❤️
My first cat, Chita, was so smart, that many years after her passing, talking about her I said to my friend that Chita was very smart, to which my friend replied: “Chita wasn’t a cat. She was human”. Never seen a smarter cat than my beloved baby Chita. 😢
My cat can recognize Churu sticks. I just need to wave it and she will come
My Yorkie did the same
@@chitto_horizon yeah, she would open doors. She would especially let my dog out of the bathroom during bath time. They would team up on me as they both were extremely and creepily smart lol.
When my cat was still alive, she would meow intensely in front of my bedroom door until I opened it. Times when I didn’t, and she opened the door herself by pushing the doorknob down and pushing the door at the same time. I miss her so much. Thank you for your memories.
Christine, we're sorry for your loss 🙏 Yes, Cats can open the door like that 😊
I had a cat in my teen years and she would jump on the door handle and open it without any issues. Loved that cat, I think I will do a video on my channel on intelligence of a cat 🐱 ❤
The way dogs look at the owner hiding the treat: “Why can’t you just give it to me?”
Indeed, what a stupid person, acts irrationally 😅
They were over it especially Yuki lol 😆 😂
That look alone suggests they're highly intelligent 😂
"What happened to you, why are you making things harder" f**k
Truly "puppy dog eyes" 🥺
The experiment proves what I suspected when I saw the title, comparing intelligence between species is problematic. The dogs and cats solved the problems in different ways, based on their instinctive skills. Also, the size of the containers should have been reduced to account for the smaller cats.
No, simplemente los perros saben actuar rápido
A ver amigo parece que no entiendes que los perros y los gatos tienen distinto tamaño, masa y fuerza para poder comparalos sin que otros factores además de la inteligencia influyan.
@@adrizs6767 Y es que los gatos son más desconfiados y les gusta analizar todo. Verás a un perro comerse algo que vaya en el aire que le lances.. pero un gato va oler, ver y pesarlo. El instinto cazador de los gatos es el mismo que no les permite caer fácil en trampas Y ser meticulosos. El gato por naturaleza Es más confiado.
@@adrizs6767 simplemente eran más grandes, los gatos hasta con sus patas agarraban la golosina y se la ponían en la boca
True. We're only just starting to understand that certain lizards, like monitors, are a lot smarter than we once thought but their brand of intelligence differs from our own and dogs and cats.
Who came here for Cats?
🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
not me
Meeeee
We had a Maine Coon cat who was super intelligent. He not only figured out how to open a fanning door by himself, but when we got a new cat he tried to teach it how to open the door by demonstrating how to open it, then pushing it back closed (something he ordinarily did not bother doing), then demonstrating again how to open it by pulling at the right spot, and made sure the other cat was watching. If you held him up to a regular door he wanted to go through, he'd try to turn the knob by gripping with both paws and twisting it. If he wanted to go out, he had a meow that sounded amazingly like "out". He also understood a fair number of words. He'd also do things like stare down dogs barking at him when we took him for a walk, and wait until they sheepishly looked away, then proceed with his walk again. By the same token, we've had dumb cats too. And smart and dumb dogs. And smart and dumb budgies. The problem with testing some animals is: What if it doesn't feel like working its way out from under a basket, or whatever test you come up with?
I know it’s very rude for cats to look each other in the eyes. I had two cats who always sat so as not to make eye contact. My little cat Twinkie would slap my big orphan Sherlock around. I think sometimes it was because of side eye. 😮
My himalayan cat also opens door. One i was locked out and he jumped up and open it from the inside. Before he opened it he yelled and cried at me 😂
He cunningly sits back and watches whatever I do. Opening doors, how i eat and pick my food, even how i lay down. He copies everything. Sits at the dining table on his chair and scoops food off his plate into his mouth. He sleeps on his back, arms on his chest, like me😂
I had a Maine Coon like that. He would copy all your activities. And stare at you while doing it, super errie. It felt very much like he was trying to figure out how to be human. When you pet him he would stare at you and pet you back.
I like how the cat is observing them through their struggle like an evil overlord
Thanks Maja 😄❤️
That attitude is why I love cats so much.
I was thinking will the cat know what to do because he saw how the dogs got the treat ?
@@davidrogan1292 Maybe. They learn quickly when they peek.
@@sesch1372 😻
I was quite impressed when Monty was able to turn the glass upside down, until I saw Saga turn one treat into four!
Ahaha! I had to motivate the Saga with a lot of goodies 😂

So, my wife and I have a house full of kitties and I'll tell you this, they are very smart critters and some of the things I've watched them do just amazes me!
Thanks Brain 😻😻😻
My cats once got into their sealed plastic food container without breaking the container or knocking it over. To this day I don't know how. The only dogs I've had that did that got in by destroying the container. Dogs seem to rely on brute force while cats seem more cunning, but dogs also tend to be larger. It'd be interesting to see the same experiments done with a smaller dog, one closer to a cat in size.
Thanks ❤️ Yes, it's interesting. What do you think a big cat would do? The size of a husky or a malamute. Would a big cat use force?
@@NorthYukiHusky Oh, that's an interesting point! Would a cougar approach the problem like a dog or like their smaller relatives? Would a chihuahua (or other small dog) approach the problem like a cat or dog?
I had a Bassett hound who opened a latched cooler, opened a pack of hotdogs, sucked all the hotdogs out, then closed the cooler lid... bassetts are brutal when it comes to stealing food! A friend of mine had one who somehow broke into someone's cabin and ate all the meat in their fridge lol.
Aunque el perro fuera pequeño, no dudo que haya hecho exactamente lo mismo que los perros grandes.
I think a smaller dog would not be able to get the food. The size and strenght of the dogs made it a lot easier for them, so in this case the cat had to put more effort to have the same results.
It was a bit harder for the cats because a lot of the "puzzles" could be easily solved by pushing the glass around, which dogs are predisposed to do with their nose. The cats were definitely a bit confused by the glass though.
But cats are more dexterous with their paws 😅
You havent seen cats acting then😂 Dogs are clearlly smarter
@@robotzombie4754 I have. My cats do smart things, like stealing my food and their treats, of course that's not very good of them
No cats are just stupid
Like people there are dumbb dogs and inteligent dogs...
I love it how cats first instinct is to dive head in first into containers, even if can't fit into it.
That doesn't make them smart. Sticking your head in where you can't get out is a so-so occupation 🙀😂
@@NorthYukiHusky cats love tight space. Its make sense.
@@NorthYukiHusky it can be indeed lethal in certain situations as the fur can prevent the head from moving out of the container.
If I fitz , I sitz 🤣🤣🤣
Eh it's an instinct thing, makes sense considering most of their prey live in small tight spaces, like burrows, tree hollows, in between rocks and what not. Unfortunately the evolutionary pressure didn't prepare cats for the deathtraps that are jars and glasses
“These are very cunning creatures “ Cat: *Shoves head into the glass* 😂
😄😄
"Los gatos son de liquido", confían mucho en su físico
My cat opened our 45l oven with the whole roasted chicken inside.. the chicken was intended for Christmas Noche Buena 😂 oh well, it was the cat who had fun at Noche Buena 🤣
Dogs tend to use more brute force combined with a bit of rough clumsiness, while cats use a softer approach with more finesse. It depends on the test what works best for each.
Ikr, it's weird to compare them since Dog's noses r better than cats,yet cats have better legs than dogs,they r totally different, cannot compare them.
@@Rabendaa538_- You can compare them, but they are what they are. They traveled different evolutionary paths.
@@andreasplosky8516 you get my thoughts wrong, because I'm an animal lover,and you say compare dogs to cats or vise versa in biological field,but this one,I actually don't like that,they say "dogs/cats r better", that's why I totally disagree with them,I respect both cats and dogs lovers even I'm more of a dog lover.
Cats noses are better than dogs. What?
@@GoldenHordeofBerke I don't think anybody claimed that.
My cat would have literally looked at that glass and immediately walked away “no treat is worth this much effort” Unrelated: it’s the cutest thing in the world when cats pick up food with their stupid, adorable, little kitty-boy paws and shove it in their mouth
Thank you!
Hey, I'm your 100th like.. For your cat. 😊
Reminded me when 20 years ago i had mice in my house. My cat never tried to catch them but waited till mouse trap triggers and then ran to me and asked to give it to him
Mine too lol
Why stupid? Their paws are amazing.
3:03 that was actually really smart!! Rolling the glass back and forth
This is so funny! My cat will dip his foot in and pull stuff out of a glass with no hesitation whatsoever. Usually it's treats but he likes to play with cherry pits and blueberries so sometimes I put those in for him to dip out. He's lightning fast! He can also get an automatic feeder (the ones that run on a timer) open in less than 3 minutes flat. I've tried every feeder I could find and none have passed the Lux test yet :D Actually feeding toys are really great for both cats and dogs. It satisfies their natural instinct to make some effort for food, plus it's so much fun to watch them figure it out - entertainment for all!
I once did an intelligent test on my parents' two cats: Squeaky and Zipper. I put Squeaky under a laundry basket. He just sat there. I put Zipper under the laundry basket. He moved it to a doorway with a raised threshold and used it to lift the laundry basket enough to slip under it. Zipper was a damn smart cat. He would even steal my sandwiches if I left them sitting beside me.
Thank you for this wonderful story ❤️❤️ My cat Beth is trying to knock food out of my hand during dinner. Or he pulls his paw to steal a piece from the plate. 😄
Definitely wide intelligence gaps among house cats
I did the same thing 🤣🤣My cat clara did better while my other cat theo was just sad and he could not do it. Also Clara can open doors..
Cats every time! far more superior😌

Saga was so careful not to destroy anything, wonderful. I fully expected cats to just slam the glass and get what they want, in my experience cats don't give a crap about destroying stuff lol
Yes but I still like cats
Personally I think saga did the first test the best- he cleverly figured out a way to get the treat WITHOUT knocking the cup over! Brilliant!!!
Thanks ❤️🐭❤️
Cute, although cross species problem solving is impossible to really quantify. I remember once placing a hat over a cat treat by accident and my kitty just moved the hat to get the treat. I was so proud of him as well as not quite prepared for him to casually do something pretty smart.
Indeed cross species problem solving have a heavy issue in result checking. As not human beings, the validity of tests and the pet effective commitment is difficult to determine, less more to determine against other species.
Even individuals are different, too. Same thing for humans
We can 100 percent quantify the differences (e.g. how long did it take, how many attempts, etc.) The issue here, as well as with people, is that the sample size is too small to mean anything. All of your concerns would resolve themselves over a large enough pool of samples.
@@joelsdogbehavior We can objectively quantify the differences but the results you'll get are their ability to solve this specific series of problems. It does not actually test for intelligence, just suitability for a series of problems.
@@Arkayjiya you could say the same about every iq test, personality test, and psychology test in general-- we resolve those concerns by simply having multiple challenges within a single test and accounting for individual variation and consistency across challenges. We than chart individual varation across challenges against group variation and the result is the field of statistics...
To be fair, cats are used to their servants simply handing them their treats. Also, Monty is gorgeous.
ahaha! cats are quite demanding. every morning they greet me with angry shouts of "Get up slave! Our bowls are empty!"
My cat get her own treat from my room, I still need to open the bag though before she destroyed it herself.
My cat woke me up at 3 this morning, demanding an early breakfast. I'm a total slave😄
cats are smarter. they make you do things. dogs wait and wait because... duhhh derp derp humahn not do...
That's why the cat started tapping the glass at 5:02 like, You need to take this thing off so I can get my treat
I think Saga is actually one of the smarter ones! Just overly cautious, doesn’t want to upset daddy by knocking over things needlessly. Once it’s clearly safe, they know to rock the glass in a back and forth motion!
Thank you 😘❤️🐾🐭
💯
I love how Yuki always gives the look "the fluff is wrong with hooman?"
I love the way they look at mom like "What are you a wise guy!?" So cute!
Thanks 😘
I'm just immediately enamored by Saga's personality and nature, she seems quite cat-like 😂
Thank you 🙏 Saga is incredibly cute 🐭❤️
monty and Yuki have a mischievous personality , but Saga is more well-behaved and kind . I think that the characters of dogs are more pronounced than their intelligence, that is, they are quite intelligent because they have pronounced personalities
@@hk8450 Maybe you're right ❤❤❤
Dogs from spitz family have some cat like traits. Say Shiba inus (which my family has) are known to have cat like behavior. For instance they clean themselves and never need bath
Me too
Thank goodness the glass didn't brake and cut one of the dogs
I like how Yuki is almost always judging you whenever u made it do something difficult. Like " Seriously?" 😂
Cats be like: I will eat it with elegance ✨
Unfortunately cats are not always elegant 😂
@@NorthYukiHusky mine is crazy, but elegant sometimes.
I remember watching Nova: Dogs Decoded (or something similar) and they were talking about the connection dogs have to humans. As an example they put food inside a cage and first let a wolf into the room. The wolf circled and circled the cage getting increasingly frustrated trying to get the food. Then the repeated the experiment with a dog. The dog circled once or twice but very quickly turned to the humans as if to say "C'mon opposable thumbs! Help me out here!" I think that's pretty significant. We humans tend to fixate on an individual's intelligence, but the irony is our success as a species lie in our social ties - the fact that we share knowledge is key.
I love dogs but there's a bit more to consider here.. "..But cats certainly aren't dumb. Their brains may be small compared to ours, occupying only about 0.9 percent of their body mass compared to about 2 percent in an average human and about 1.2 percent in an average dog. But size doesn't always matter. Neanderthals, the hominids that went extinct more than 20,000 years ago, had bigger brains than Homo sapiens, but they probably weren't smarter than the Homo sapiens that beat them in the survival game. Surface folding and brain structure matter more than brain size. Unlike the brains of dogs, the brains of cats have an amazing surface folding and a structure that is about 90 percent similar to ours. The cerebral cortex of cats is greater and more complex compared to that of dogs. The cerebral cortex is the part of the brain responsible for cognitive information processing. A cat's cerebral cortex contains about twice as many neurons as that of dogs. Cats have 300 million neurons, whereas dogs have about 160 million. In fact, cats have more nerve cells in the visual areas of their brain, a part of cerebral cortex, than humans and most other mammals. Like brain size, number of neurons in the cerebral cortex may not be a good indicator of intelligence. But it's a better indicator than brain size. The cerebral cortex is the seat of rational decision making and complex problem solving. It also interprets inputs from the senses and from emotional processing that occurs subcortically. It is involved in the planning of action, the interpretation of language (or other forms of communication), and it is responsible for the storage of short-term and long-term memory. Cats have longer-lasting memories than dogs, especially when they learn by doing rather than seeing."

I've literally bought food puzzles for my cats. That they manage to solve really well. Not all cats are food motivated, just like dogs.
Our cats are very motivated 😂
@@NorthYukiHuskyI made some liver and had to wait until the power came back, and had to do stuff so I left it with a heavy metal lid and put some cans on top for good measure. My cat does like treats, but not as much as liver. Maybe she'd give up with your experiments, but there's nothing she wouldn't do to get to eat liver. It wasn't long before I found the cans on the floor, the lid off and the cat undoing 2 of the 4 seals of the container. The male is food motivated, but not to that point, and I'd say the female is of average cat intelligence. If the male had been more food motivated, he'd maybe have been more delicate in his approach.
My cat knows how to open doors, closets, windows, cabinets etc. If she is hungry nothing can stop her.
😽😻
We had a husky ( a real food hound) who would just bite the glass. He bit and broke an iphone because he found it in a bag with candy. Our current husky takes everything gingerly with her teeth first. She'll leave any little particle she doesn't like, like vegetables in her food. I like how they all look at you like "You're kidding, right? Another one of your dumb tricks!"
Interesting! For anyone trying it out: just keep in mind the walls of the glass have be to thick enough (like in the video). Thin glasses break easily when bitten by a dog (or a cat, even)
Or just use plastic cups, easier for cats to maneuver as well as dogs can too and not glass break danger
That just show how clever dogs are Anyway...i doubt cat can break a glass by biting it...heck they literally haver weaker bite force than human(unlike dogs)

Monty had me laughing for a full minute with his i-hope-my-tounge-is-long-enough stint! Reminded me of myself when I was a kid trying to lick melted chocolate stuck at the bottom of a glass. Haha
I love how the dogs just looks at you putting their snacks on the glass like: "...you serious?"
Thank you for your concern 🙏 We used a glass with thick glass. We also laid a blanket so that the floor was not hard. In the last video we used plastic.
My last cat was super smart, because I encouraged him to solve puzzles from kittenhood. He knew how to get something inside of a box, under a box, under another box, each opening from a different direction. Sometimes, he was too smart for my own good. 😸
So after teaching him all that, how cleverly did you have to hide the treats when they weren't being used? xD
@@halfprince I didn't use treats to teach Manhattan how to solve puzzles. I used his toys. I think he enjoyed learning as much as I enjoyed watching him learn. He knocked my Rubbermaid tall kitchen trash can on its side, and played in it, so I let him have it (clean, of course). One day I put a box in there, the opening facing out, then put a ball in it. After he got that ball, I put the same ball in the same box, but with the opening facing to the side, then to the back, then facing down. After he figured out all of those puzzles, I started stacking boxes, with the openings facing in different directions. Nothing stopped him. He just kept learning. He was an amazing cat. The thing is, he learned to assess a situation. For instance, my closets had accordion doors. When he couldn't open them from the end, as he had in the last place we'd lived, he watched the way it moved when I opened it. Eventually, he went to the center of the door, and pulled on one of them. It moved, so he went to see if his head could fit through the opening he'd created. He did that three or four times before he could fit in. After that, he knew how much he had to pull before he could get into the closet. We moved to an apartment that didn't have accordion doors. Three years later, we stayed in my brother's apartment, and his closets had accordion doors. Manhattan went right up to the coat closet, and opened the door. He remembered three years later. My sister used to call him Einstein. I really miss that cat. Oh, something funny… Before he commandeered the trash can for his playhouse, I started seeing his toys in it. I couldn't figure out how they got there, but one day walked in on him putting one in there. He was copying me. He just didn't know that the stuff that went into that container was going to be thrown away. He was so cute.
Lol I taught my cat how to open things when he was a kitten. Not my smartest idea. He has forbidden knowledge now.
@@AnnaHans88 😸😸😸
I had a ragdoll who learned by observation to open doors. We had handles, not knobs, so it was possible for him to grasp them if he just reached up. We also had a Tonkinese at the time, and I saw her try the same trick once, but she wasn't big enough to reach.
They're like people, some are better at problem soling than others. I have two cats, one would be able to do all of these without a problem and would be very motivated to. The other; she wouldn't care at all. We have a puzzle treat dispenser that requires them to pull out boxes using their paws, as well as slide panels out of the way. One cat gets all the treats out every time, the other requires some help to get any treats 😅
Thanks for sharing. Yes, that's right, they're all different 😉
it is so fun to spy on your cats teaching each others some tricks. We rescued a cat when I was a young girl, and she was much cleverer than our tom cat. One day, I saw her showing him how to open a cupboard as she had got used to stealing before we tamed her. He was looking at what she was doing very closely like a well behaved pupil lol.
That's fair, individual qualities matter a lot with both cats and dogs.
It’s amazing how Saga didn’t want to mess with the glass and gently move it until she got out the meat. It’s like thinking, there must be a way of keeping it organized but still getting my reward. Lol
Saga is not a big fan of eating
Dog: snack? Omg snack! I wanna snack! Cat: I can't believe I'm forced to do this peasant crap for a snack.
3:13 Yuki’s like “am I a joke to you” when he looks at you 😂
Both seem to have had more accidental victories than planned ones. It should have been really easy for a dog to pick up the glass with it's jaw, but none thought about it, nor did they use their paw... Cats use instinctively their paws, but it wasn't nearly as good as it could have been.
I largely agree that these tests had an element of luck which were shown in the video. Perhaps to truly test IQ, we will need to remove the luck variable and solely focus on ability. But that is another problem
@@RozzWasHere don't forget to factor in instinct as well.
accident give rise to patterns 🙂
Monty turning the glass upside down seemed clever and isn't quite accidental.
actually one of the dogs picked the glass up and spilled the treats on the floor.

Honestly, I don't know if the dogs understood anything other than that they need to push the object with their nose or paw to get the treat. I have played similar games with my dogs, and I think it's easy to confuse aggressiveness (pushing really hard) with intelligence.
Maybe you're right
On the second test, Saga seemed to learn from watching the glass roll from side to side causing the treats to spill out. It looked to me like she tried rocking the glass in the same way to get to the last treat.
@@Toasty_93 saga is much smarter than it seems
It's not the use of brute force what makes us think they're intelligent, is the fact that they were able to understand that using brute force will solve their problem at hand. Brains also includes your ability to know how to use your muscle too.
Monty turned the glass upside down. How was that brute force? He definetly is aware of the law of gravity and how to use it.
Depends on the dog and the cat. My Maine Coon was shockingly smart. I once witnessed him execute and entire hunting plan, that involved dashing out the flap in the front door, around the block of houses, which takes a few minutes, then silently sneaking over the back fence (which is usually a loud, clambering affair)... to blindside a rat that was scurrying back and forth 6ft from the wide open back door. But my boy knew he had no cover for a direct attack, and the rat would see him, so he made a complex plan to approach from cover. I've never seen a dog do anything that deliberate.
Cats are good at solo hunting, dogs would need to probably have a group present to have the same efficacy. Not sure what this says about intelligence but in terms of being a predator cats are apparently extremely crafty
You don't know dogs very well, they routinely use deception in some cases, a border terrier we had used to steal his brothers bone by rushing out barking into the garden as if he'd seen a cat (there was nothing there), his brother would rush out after him and he would immediately run back in and grab the bone.
@@glochidiatus Yeah but they also also routinely try and fit a 7ft stick through a 3ft hole... so...
@@glochidiatus We have two basset hound puppies, Millie and Maisy. Today we learned that Millie is con artist. We observed her fight with Maisy TO THE DEATH over a plastic bottle after Maisy stole it from her. Then Millie calmed down, and allowed Maisy to chew on it while she went for a drink of water. I was pleasantly surprised. Maisy, being a stinker, wasn't really interested in the bottle if Millie and her couldn't squabble over it. So she went over to drink water with Millie. Millie slithered back to the bottle and this time wasn't going to give it up so easily. Maisy was still drinking when she realized that she had been fooled. I can think of all sorts of words to describe bassets, but "wily" was not one of them until recently.🐺
Wow Monty realized that by having control of the glass he will have control of the treat. Relaying on his skillful bite he could turn things around for his victory.
I like the cat sitting by refusing to satisfy human games, it is the most intelligent, thinking are you really being fooled brother, be more intelligent than humans and refuse to play
I think what is more impressive is those dogs didn't break the cups and were very cautious about handling glass, they were all gentle. Where as that doesn't really matter to the cat.
Thanks for the comment. We were absolutely sure that our dogs would not break the glass. Although it seemed dangerous for some viewers.
Thanks Justin ❤️ The glass of this glass was thick. We also laid a bedspread so that the floor was not so hard.
Each used the tools they had; A nose, a paw, a claw, push, pull, a head bump. I don’t think any of them actually solved the problem with thought, but used instinct. Therefore, I conclude they’re equal.
4:54 😯👌👌
❤️
The way the one dog looked at its owner when she put the glass over it. 😹
The doggos are still so gentle with the glass. Too cute
Thanks ❤️
It's nice to meet you, friend. That was such a fun video. It was interesting how the different doggies handled the situations and then the kitties too. It was also interesting how they were all good at different challenges. Thank you for sharing! 😸💗
Thank you for watching our video. I'm glad you were interested 😘
I used to think my Aussie was a genius! Until his ball randomly got stuck in an upturned wire milk crate. 🤣 It was completely accessible but because he could SEE it through the side but only REACH it through the top, he was stumped! It was hilarious! Poor guy. I eventually had to get up off the couch to solve the puzzle for him. 🤣🐶
Depends on what situation. Dogs are usually smarter when it comes to learning tricks or other daily tasks while cats are usually smarter when it comes to survivability and carefulness
That lid was too heavy for a kitty! Glad you helped!
Oh, this little cat is so cute, I couldn't help but help her 🙂
How lovely they are! I love their faces when you place the treat inside the glass out of their reach hahaha I was only concerned about the possibility of the glass to break. An acrylic cup would be safer I think. Anyway, nice video!
Thank you very much! I was sure that this glass would withstand any onslaught 😘
Funny when you said" Monty count the length of his tongue"😂😂😂. I love Monty ❤
Thanks ❤️🐺❤️
The cat was quite genius!🐱💖
The dogs eyes were: "Are you kidding me!?" 😂
Prediction: The cat will just look at it like "Seriously, hooman?!" and walk away.
My cats always steal the treat bags. They carefully watch me where I place the treat bags then jump on stove to open cabinet doors lol they also know how to get water out the water fountain lol
I would like to see this test with a dog or comparable size such as a chihuahua. This will make sure they have similar perspective to the world around them, similar strength and leverage capabilities.
It's all about thinking out of the box. Both species are very intelligent creatures, if you think about it. The cat was smart enough to use the help from It's owners hand even if it came spontanly. They are both pretty smart animals in their own ways.
I agree, thank you
Hello Leonora how are you doing
dogs are smarter than cats in general
Kitty definitely deserved the little bit of help, they were trying their best and had figured it out, but their paw just wasn't quite strong enough to hold the base in place.
Dogo: "wierde glossy objecc" Cat: "skilly pawe"
I think tests rely on some degree of compliance, thereby which we cannot accurately quantify the "F U" qualities of the feline, nor the "Good boi" tenancies of the canine. Thus I deduce, both are simply adorable
That was fun. Lmao, the looks the dogs had, had me in tears, 🤣. Both cats and dogs are equally 👌 ❤️.
Thanks! I'm glad you had fun.😁😘
Indeed. The dogs had more strength and could use force for more successful trial and error. Probably would a crow or a pig have made more intelligent moves ;)
Not really. Cats have a predators smarts. Dogs are just smarter
@@HellStr82 Not really.. cats are smarter than dogs.
@@appleday9616 If that were true then theyd use cats to help disabled people and police. Cats arent remotely more intelligent.
4:15 you were expecting cats, weren't you? But it was me, Dio!
Dio?
@@NorthYukiHusky Oh? Are you approaching me? Instead of running away you're getting closer?
My guy is a non-jojo fan I guess
It might not be bright, but seems loyal ...
Made a puzzle for my pet rat Da Vinci and he solved it in about 40 seconds, I was amazed, somewhat more complicated than shown in the video. Makes me wonder how come rats are able to solve logical puzzles with such short life spans, I mean not a lot of time to learn stuff.
Possibly through inherited learning. There is some scientific evidence that some learned behaviors can be passed down to offspring though scientists don't know how yet.
To be honest, I don’t think I would have solved any of these. 😂
3:12 the way yuki always look at it's owner before he act is so cite lol 😆😂
Yes, I love that smart look 😍
Dogs: brute force and random chance. Cats: dexterity and waiting for the hooman to help.
My dog has ball, that is meant to be pushed around and randomly scatter treats for him. He learned, that it is much easier, to unscrew the ball. I don't know how exactly he manages that, only using his teeth, but he does it in less than a minute - and he figured it out by himself. OK, hes a Labrador and if food is involved, nothing can stop him from his goal...
1:38 Monty’s face said “really bitch?”
I once had a cat who jumped on door handles and legit tried to open the lock with his other paw after seeing us do it. Only thing stopping him was lack of opposable thumbs.
Mine too! My cat got in trouble She she tried to run out the room and kept jumping on the door handle to open it to run away😂
It's a great skill 👍 Only the handles on the doors should be of a certain type. 😊
Looks like cat trying to solve the problem with minimal damage possible. Just like an assassin, no needs to use bruteforce. And I like the way cat sitting on the background and watching the dogs, like "Dude, seriously?! Just grab them with your paw!"
