My cat is smarter than me.

My cat Loverboy is smarter than his mate Chenuska. He's got great cognitive powers. For instance, when he sees a squirrel on the deck outside my studio, he watches carefully. And when the squirrel moves north and out of his range of vision, Loverboy will scamper out of the studio and into the living room. He knows how to keep the squirrel in sight. Chenuska is too dumb to move on. Loverboy also has a language. He speaks to me. He tries to tell me things. And if I wasn't so dumb, I'd pick it up. I hate to admit it, but I think Loverboy is smarter than me. --Jim Broede
