It is generally accepted that all animals are quite intelligent by nature.

After all, they once had to survive in the wild. At the same time, every pet owner wants to think that his four-legged friend is smarter.

There are several ways to test an animal's intelligence.

The first option is name recognition.

This does not mean that the cat should immediately run to the call.

It is enough to check how your pet simply reacts to the name. It can turn its head, start moving its tail or ears.

A smart pet also understands when it is time for feeding, sleep, and other recurring events.

In addition, it is important to remember that cats do not express their emotions too violently, but they are excellent at reading their owners’ moods.

Another sign that a smart cat lives in the house can be identified in a more complex way. It is believed that if the pet knows commands and follows them, then this is also an indicator.
