My cat will not be happy to hear this and the dog will happily nod in agreement. I tend to believe they just have different personalities rather than intelligence, but one thing for sure, my life would be less joyful without them.

I never knew there was even a debate.

There are of dozens and dozens of things a dog can be taught to do that a cat couldn't learn in a million years.
For the life of me...I can't think of one thing a cat can do that a dog can't.
Climb a tree I suppose; thats about it.
Am I missing some?

Corrected it for you

This said, I am not surprised. Seems like social animals are, in general, more intelligent.

I trained my cat to use the toilet. Like to see a dog do that.

Dogs are very smart but also pretty gullible. I live with a dog and a cat and the cat has the dog wrapped around her pinky.

My dog uses the toilet.... when I forget to fill her water-bowl.
