Cat people and dog people are always arguing about which species is smarter.

I think this video makes the answer pretty obvious.

This cat is an idiot! Doesn't he realize that peanuts have hardly any nutritional value to cats? It's almost like he doesn't even know that his instestines are too short to digest it.

"Have you heard about the theory that the brain can make sense of a passage of text with the letters all jumbled up? This works as long as the first and last letters are in place.

On this website you can read the classic bit of text that describes the theory. You have probably seen it as a viral, as I think this one did the rounds a year or so ago.
