I started to take it with a certain kitty in mind, but it was dreadfully slow, so gave up.

Buddy got a 23.

10 – 30 points: When it comes to bell curves, your feline’s where most cats are: right in the middle. Your cat has average intelligence and can learn a few tricks, but has no desire to take apart the cat water fountain and reassemble it.

There were a lot of questions that didn't have a good answer for Bud though.

Of course in my book he is the smartest, most handsomest and loveable cat. :D :love:

Also, I loved the orange kitty they used for the test graphic.

Eve - 32 out of 40: apparently we're living with a feline Einstein:D ... no surprise! She knows just what to do to get her way and with finesse;). Love my girl:love::love:.

Trixie and Mikey are smarty pants (I knew that already) with Abby and Flutter being on the higher end of average. Harry, Mystic and Pouncer are just your normal boys. :)

Sometimes I think Trixie is waaaayyy too smart for her own good.

REALLY slow! I'm on it now; I'll let you know. Some of the questions just don't apply - who uses a can opener for canned food anymore?

OK...mine is slow and I am using Firefox. What browser are you using?

Pinot's a 30 - just missed genius! ;) It's probably a ploy...

Internet Explorer...

LOL! I thought the same thing. Friskies in gravy comes in a pouch and if it is one of the cans they have the pop top. (Love the person that invented these!)

Way too slow, gave up! Yes, a lot of the questions don't apply

I use Firefox and while it wasn't lightening fast, it was not creeping slow, either. Got through it all in about 6-7 minutes for each cat. I have three, so I just averaged their responses and got a 25. Mac and Kimba are my most intelligent (Mac's on the upper end of normal, Kimba is a kitty Einstein), while Ming is on the lower end of normal. The questions that got me were the ones about teaching my cat tricks. Are they for real? I've never taught any of my cats anything! They pick up things by observing, but I've never been able to teach any of them "tricks".

Edwina insisted on completing the test herself - she said she completed it for both herself and Eddie. She wouldn't let me see it but she tells me she is a genius...and Eddie a dullard.

Should I believe her?

Painfully slow - I just tried it and gave up. I know that my son's cats aren't the brightest bulbs, but I wanted proof to back it up.

And yes - some canned cat food doesn't have a pop ring - 9 Lives Tuna is one that I know of. I always wondered why canned cat tuna doesn't have this - I haven't seen any brand of it that does - and it's tuna only. Must be something to do with the processing???????
