Dogs are actually smarter than cats, study says
“Are you a dog or a cat person?” Well we have some good news for dog lovers because they have one more thing to use as an argument for why dogs are the very best!
A study conducted by an international team of researchers analysed the outer layers of the brains of several carnivorous animals, including dogs and cats. The study was done in hopes of determining whether animals who traditionally must hunt for prey have more cortical neurons, meaning they have more brain power. Currently, scientists believe that counting specific cells is a good indicator for finding out how much processing power a brain has.
As it turns out, cats have approximately 250 million neurons, while dogs have more than twice as much, with 530 million neurons!
