Cats are the smartest animals in the world. Cats prove that they do not require humans to teach them how to solve problems. Many cats swiftly pass puzzles in less time than it takes dogs. They prove time and time again that they are intelligent. Cats solve complex puzzles easier than most other animals.         

Cats are extremely intelligent creatures with very active brains. It is known that they have very complex brains with over 203 million neurons, allowing them to comprehend a lot of information and learn very fast. Many people declared cats smarter than they seem. This is because they have proven time and time again that they can solve puzzles independently.

Cats possess attributes that make them intelligent. A powerful memory is one of the many things that sets cats apart from other animals. Their memory allows them to remember the solution of a puzzle they solved 7 months ago. Cats’ minds are very versatile as they can adapt to a new environment quickly. During many early urbanization periods, cats were seen adopting a newfound scavenging trait rapidly. Cats known to develop different meowing frequencies to best suit their owners. Many cats use a higher pitched meow because it sounds similar to a baby’s cry, making us want to help them more.

Cats are exceedingly smart creatures, effortlessly solving puzzles. I have firsthand experience in cats being extremely smart. One of my cats learned how to get treats without help from anybody else. One of our cats, named Tipsy, opened a cupboard without anybody’s help. He pushed out the treat bin making the lid come off. He is the entire reason we had to get a better treat bin as he figured out how to open a cabinet on his own. Cats are some of the smartest creatures on planet Earth.
