Researchers at the University of Bristol in England conducted an extensive study measuring the intelligence of 2,980 dog and cat owners. The results of their study indicated cat owners are smarter than dog owners.

Does an association with cats impart higher intellectual abilities on cat owners? Are dog owners dumbed down?

None of the above.

Supposedly, more educated people work longer hours and having less time for pet care they choose cats, which require less pet keeping time than dogs.

Why do I get the feeling this study was designed by a cat owner?

And, dog owners, take heart. Albert Einstein never owned a cat.
