Man has questioned the intelligence of animals for years. Specifically, the question has always been whether cat or dog was the most intelligent animal, after man.

To this question, of course, those who love cats answer "cats", those who love dogs answer "dogs".

Perhaps these answers are dictated more by the heart than by real knowledge.

But now, perhaps, there is a clear and well-defined answer!

The "New Scientist" studied the structure of the brains of small cats. They found that cats 'brains are much smaller than dogs' brains, but contain nearly double the number of neurons that allow them to process and process information faster and more efficiently.

Furthermore, "New Scientist" stated that cats are very well predisposed to dialogue with humans. This factor is possible thanks to their ability to decode human messages and their marked learning skills.

Furthermore, we well know that the cat has therapeutic qualities. Starting with the purr. The purr in fact vibrates between 1, 5 and 6 giga hertz, which is the same frequency used in arthritis therapies. It is well known, then, that only by caressing it, the cat improves heart rate, heart rate and blood pressure.

The cat also releases, during cuddling, oxytocin, the hormone of happiness. The relationship that the cat establishes with the elderly and the handicapped should not be underestimated.

It has also been found that children who spend a lot of time in the company of a cat are better protected from allergies to animal hair, from those to mites, grasses and asthma.

So we can say that the most intelligent animal after man is the cat which, which has always been considered a pinch behind the dog in terms of intelligence, with this study ranks directly after man if not even before.
