OMG. LOL.
last night when my G/F went to work, I put a sock on her cat's head to see what it would do.
It would crawl around real low to the ground and navigate it's self by smell, alot like a dog. It sniffed its way all around the appartment. I would pick it up and put it someplace different but, it still seemed to know wear it was going. It only bumped into something once. It made it's way under our futon, (the place it usually goes) This is where I got in trouble. I decided not to get the cat and take off the sock, (figuring it would do it on it's own, not unlike a ferrett, or when you throw a blanket over a dog, (my dogs loved that game,)) Well, my G/F came home and apperentlly she found the cat had made its way out from under the futon and perched its self on top of the futon (the futon was in couch form.) The cat was meowing at all corners of the room when my G/F found her. Of course I had been on my computer for the last 4 hours, and did'nt hear anything. Boy was my G/F pissed. And when I told her that, "The stupid cat did'nt take off the sock after 4 hours, it was it's own damned fault, and every dog on the plantet would have taken off the sock, so either dogs are smarter then cats, or your cat is a retard." Saying that really got her pissed at me, and she told me I will have to pay for counseling if the cat has psychological damage. (Where you get psychological treatment for a cat? I don't know. So I said I'll pay. (I hope I didnt shoot myself in the foot.))
Anyways, the cat is not scarred, and it treats me just the same as it did before. No big deal. I can tell you that cats have a high instinctual intellegence, but for high intellegence (as far as animals are concerned,) not so much.
