It seems to me that dogs are, but I don't know if that is because of their pack behavior and therefore wanting to please the pack by following orders. What do you think?

I asked the dog. He barked and slobbered, turned around three times, then laid down. I then went to the keyboard, typed this out with one paw tied behind my back, and didn't even need the spell check. Go figure.
Signed,

Dogs win paws down. Did a cat ever save little Timmy when he fell down the well? No, but poor Lassie had to do it every other show! If cats are so smart, how come no one ever made them movie stars? Other than Garfield, cats have no P.R., & Garfield has a dog with him (Odie). Ever played Frisbee with a cat? Kinda slow! Cats pull a sled? Not likely! Don't see too many homes & businesses protected by trained attack cats, do ya? Cats are O.K., but dogs rule!!!

Basically I like dogs better, but CATS are more intelligent because they have a sense of their own direction. Cats know what they want to do, how to do it, and when to. Whereas dogs, they mimic and follow orders of who tells them what to do. So, cats seem to be more intelligent because they are independent and think for themselves, as dogs, they tend to follow who is in charge and obey orders.

That is so hard to answer but I am going to do it anyway! I am more of a dog person then a cat person but I won't base my answer on that.....
Dog people profess to be baffled by the cat person's affection for an animal that provides so little active amusement: Cats will not frolic with you in the surf or fetch sticks or point with their noses at a bird for you to shoot. Because cats can't be trained to do the same sorts of tricks that dogs do, they are considered to be less intelligent, and because they are not by nature as social as dogs, they are seen as comparatively aloof or indifferent to humans. Dog people think cat people are suckers for doting on sneaky, selfish creatures that only pretend to like people in order to get food and other goodies and that will never, say, jump into a raging, flood-swollen river to rescue a small child at the risk of their own lives, as the faithful hound supposedly will.
Cat people heap contempt on dog people for actually thinking a dog's devotion counts for much. A dog's love for its owner is, cat people say, entirely instinctual, indiscriminate and often unearned by its object; you are not loved for yourself but for the position you assume in the dog's life -- anyone else would do as well. Therefore, dog owners must be so desperate for love as to be nearly undeserving of it. The willingness of dogs to learn tricks is a result not of their intelligence but of their dopey eagerness to please. That cats can't be bothered to sit or heel on command is, their partisans insist, a sign that they are more clever by half. Cats are also self-cleaning, slobber-free, handy when you've got a mouse problem and don't have to be walked.
I personally think that both are smart. If need to be they both could survive on thier instincts. Cats don't have to 'bow' to another to be considered intelligent nor do dogs have to please anyone to be considered smart. Both are smart, intelligent and make great pets... i

Sorry, but cats win this one. I've had both all my life & the cats always seem to know more, get their own way more.... Dogs are darling about following instructions & trying to please. But they just don't seem to know to come in out of the rain sometimes! Cats will instinctively know what is best.

CATS-they are more intelligent. This also depends on there owners and how they are raised. Cats are very independent too.I taught one of my cats to play fetch with a toy mouse and to sit for her treats just as you would a dog. I have owned both and love both. My cats observe what I do and try to copy me. Just yesterday mine saw me typing and was sitting in my lap and she leaned in and pressed the space bar for me with her paw.

DOGS. Do cats sniff out drugs? Do cats rescue people? Do cats give you undying devotion? NO, NO, NO. But a dog does.
DOGS RULE, cats r just there.
