As a cat person, I honestly think cats probably are stupider than dogs. It's difficult to quantify, since you can't give these animals IQ tests or even proxies of such, but IIRC some measure of brain complexity showed dogs' to be more complex, which is at least a crude and noisy proxy for intelligence. Which largely conforms with common sense formed from general everyday experiences people have with these creatures. I wish more cat people were just accepting of this instead of treating "stupid" like an insult or "smart" like a compliment about virtue. Cats are stupider than dogs, but that doesn't change the objective fact that they are better than dogs.
This sounds like fodder for a The Time Machine reimagining involving cats evolving into cat-Eloi and cat-Morlocks. Maybe mix in some genetic engineering with Elon making catgirls real, to justify the cats gaining enough intelligence to form actual societies.
That's correct. A cat adopted us at our dacha last fall. We named him Asshole, but he really was a sweet specimen, sleeping inside all day, stepping out only to do his dirty business, and hunting all night. He was too outdoors a cat for us to take home, so we converted out greenhouse into a cathouse, with a narrow opening to keep out the snow, an insulated enclosed sleeping box and got our neighbor who would spend the winter there to come and feed him, but Asshole preferred to disappear and probably die instead.
