Mind you, I certainly have to entertain the Siamese much moreAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01448519452224661892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-47133018446652543512013-01-30T23:11:13.697-08:002013-01-30T23:11:13.697-08:00My Maine Coon is more in touch with me on an emoti...My Maine Coon is more in touch with me on an emotional level but my plain old domestic short hair has done amazingly smart things, but I most of his are more instinctual. Both know many, many words. But my Maine Coon got lost from his family as a kitten and has been with me, through some pretty bad experiences, ever since and Peter has had to survive through his own hell before he basically escaped it and showed me he needed a new home. So Sugar and I have always been connected emotionally; Peter has always needed his instincts. They're both extremely smart -just depends on what is important to them to think about.Katimaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18446627224823544552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-45650268416004681542012-10-09T10:45:40.454-07:002012-10-09T10:45:40.454-07:00I think you know how Zoey my Bengal feels about th...I think you know how Zoey my Bengal feels about this...Deb Barnes - Zee and Zoeyhttp://www.zeezoey.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-36600140010622292612012-10-05T11:03:07.816-07:002012-10-05T11:03:07.816-07:00My poor CC must be a Persian in disguise...his nic...My poor CC must be a Persian in disguise...his nickname is Prince of NotSoBright, bless his little heart.Katnip Loungehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276522333751867680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-66184271929939566172012-10-05T00:52:33.657-07:002012-10-05T00:52:33.657-07:00I see both Hammy and I would rate 7/10.

Just my thoughts. Mine have shown some learning. I read once that cats are rather like toddlers in IQ. I tend to agree.Katie Isabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04298277081648176277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-44667517300552814292012-10-04T11:43:14.166-07:002012-10-04T11:43:14.166-07:00What about those of us who look after "just a...What about those of us who look after "just a cat"? I have a big grey boy and a regular size black girl. Both are smart in their own way. They have learned to open the cupboard door and eat through the treat packages, lie across the stairs to block passage up & down, and that if they sleep on the man's side of the bed they get kicked all night to better to sleep on the "bringer of food"'s side.hmacrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212303090459554036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-3630758315030187512012-10-04T10:56:23.543-07:002012-10-04T10:56:23.543-07:00We totally agree, the cats are so smart, they have...We totally agree, the cats are so smart, they have us humans trained to a great degree.

We have her trained to jump to our every whim, actually. (Thanks to angels Chumley and Annie for breaking her in for us!)<br /><br />-Nicki and Derry<br /><br />***<br />Mom's note: Of the two boys, Nicki's the smarter in many ways, I think. Or perhaps it's more that he's outdoing and confident and nosy, whereas Derry is skittish and afraid of just about everything. But sometimes you can see Nicki looking at something (usually the fence and the fence addition at the top) and puzzling it out. You can just see the wheels turning in his head. It's scary.
