Cats are considered to be very intelligent animals, although not everyone realizes this.
Due to their somewhat passive lifestyle, we cannot fully appreciate the intellectual abilities of our pets.
The smartest cats are considered to be mongrel cats, who managed to survive in street conditions in the absence of a comfortable place to rest, a huge number of enemies and the impossibility of sticking to a balanced diet. Their amazing intelligence ensured their survival.
Pedigree cats, accustomed to living in warmth and comfort, are not capable of this.
If we are talking about purebred animals, then among them there are also representatives with very impressive intellectual potential.
Which cats can be called the smartest?
Bengal cat and Canadian Sphynx
The intelligence of the representatives of these two breeds is approximately the same: these cats are extremely smart and resourceful. The Canadian Sphynx and the Bengal cat can learn tricks and commands if they want.
However, there are differences among them. The Sphynx is excellent at reading the owner's mood and keeps to itself if the person is not in a good mood. But the Bengals have a more "explosive" character: if you do not provide the animal with the necessary mental and physical exercise, they will create real chaos in the house.
British cats
Representatives of this breed appear reserved and uninterested in communication, but they are extremely intelligent, experts believe.
An interesting fact is that the British also have an excellent memory and are able to build deep relationships with a person.
