A study by a Vanderbilt University has proved that dogs are smarter than cats, and cats won’t be able to handle it. This study counted the number of cortical neurons in the brains of cats and dogs and strongly related to intelligence. Dogs have 530 Million neurons in the cerebral cortex while cats around 250 Million, according to the researchers at Vanderbilt University. Neurons are cells associated with thinking, planning, understanding language and complex behaviors.
