We have a cat and a border collie, we love them both to the moon and back. That said, me and my SO both agree that our cat is "smarter" than our dog, he (meaning the cat) "invents" games with our dog which the latter very heartily "adopts" but, nevertheless, are not "invented" by him (by the dog). Also, our dog being a BC that means that, at times, he wants to herd our cat, after long bouts of staring at said cat. In response to all that the cat has invented and performed very smart avoidance techniques that he hadn't use with us before the BC came into our life (the cat was with us first, for about two years). And that's just two quick things that sprung to my mind on learning the article, there are many others. There's also the misconception of "cats don't love/care about their owners" which is just a stupid stereotype.
