Many cat owners have already noted that their pets are much smarter than is commonly believed.
Animals are able to read our mood, “beg” for treats and understand our speech.
Which breeds are considered the smartest?
Mongrel
Don't think that the absence of a breed indicates "low quality" of the animal or lack of intellectual abilities. On the contrary: stupid cats will not be able to survive and pass on their genetic material.
Therefore, in most cases, mongrel cats are the smartest and healthiest compared to their "aristocratic" comrades.
Sphinx
Experts believe that sphinxes are among the smartest cat breeds. These animals are able to adapt to the owner's behavior and understand his conversations.
Sphinxes can be trained to do simple "tricks", but this will require patience.
Norwegian Forest Cat
This breed of cats has a direct "wild" origin, so the intellectual abilities of these animals are determined by the same factors as in the case of mongrel animals.
Norwegian Forest Cats had to survive in the wild, so only the smartest members of the breed managed to pass on their genetic material.
