Which are smarter, cats or dogs? New study gives us the answer

Has anyone considered that the scientists had to use brains of animals - had to kill them!
Anyway, having both cats and dogs, a large dog like an Australian shepherd or German shepherd leave all house cats in the dust, but comparing a small dog the same size as a cat their is probably not much difference. Both animals operate from programmed instincts and those instincts are somewhat different. A dog follows a pack leader. A cat does not follow that way. Either one makes a great pet for various reasons.
