what do you think is the brightest animal aside from human?

really, i never thought that cat are that intelligent.. haha anyways maybe your right. cats sometimes just use their charms and there cute face to get anything they want. do you believe that cats are thieves sometimes? hahaha

yeah they are. cats are very sneaky. Don't ever leave them in a room with food. They will find a way to get to it. And they love shiny things like money. When I lived up north I had this kitten that use to collect pennies. One day I decided to clean out from under the bed, cause I was missing something, and wow. Lots of change.

yeah your right, maybe it depends on the breed... cause i myself have a dog, its a shiatzu terrier, dutchan, and japaneses pitz... but they know know their names and they really obey me.. so maybe it also depends on the breed.. why do you say that cat, rabbit, and elephant are the smartest??

Mrcupid, i say the cat because i had a female calico from 6wks to 14yrs who could lay on the kitchen table in front of a bowl of milk and not touch it no matter what i did even if i walked around the house etc unless i gave her permission; she would wake me up with in minutes or seconds before and earthquake and would meow and meow and whatever it took to get me up, make me either walk around the house until it was time or make me stand in the door way and if i didnt she would claw my foot that step out of the doorway; she knew her name; when i was pregnant i would tell her that the baby wasnt moving and she would lay on my tummy first purring and if that didnt work i would tell her patches that was her name the baby still isnt moving and she would like nead on my tummy like she was going to nurse until the baby moved which was my son who is now 11yrs; i say an elephant because of their memory which has been proven over and over how they have such an excellent memory and are easily trained; i say a rabbit because it would come when i called him; he could sit, stand on two feet; hope on only two feet; do tricks like a dog or cat; would get sad if you didnt give him attention just various things; a dolphin well it seems no matter their age they are intelligent from birth because they can always find their way to where the food is, they know how to avoid sharks etc.
