These 10 Cats May Prove They Are Smarter Than Dogs

| Published on October 7, 2015

 Ever wonder if dogs really do have the corner on the trainability market? Everyone thinks of them as “man’s best friend.” BUT, what if cats really are smarter? We all know that may be true. And a new book, available this week, CATS ON THE JOB: 50 Fabulous Felines Who Purr, Mouse, and Even Sing for Their Supper  by Lisa Rogak may just prove it. Rogak collected stories from all over the world of real cats that work just as hard as all those dogs that have recently been getting media attention for sniffing out cancer or serving in the military. These cats have been working hard as security guards, nurses, and even dog trainers!  Below are 10 of these AMAZING Cats. To find out more, buy the book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and IndieBound.
