Research suggests that dogs really are smarter than cats | Daily Mail Online
'In terms of brain size to cortical neuron ratio, one of the most intelligent animals was found to be a raccoon. '
'Raccoons have a brain the size of a cat, but have a cortical neuron density similar to that of a dog. '
'The researchers applied their intelligence theory to several carnivorous species, and found that bigger brains do not necessarily mean more cortical neurons. '
'The brain of a Golden Retriever was found to have more cortical neurons than a brown bear, for example, despite being three times smaller. ', "Dr Herculano-Houzel added: 'At the least, we now have some biology that people can factor into their discussions about who’s smarter, cats or dogs. '"
