Equivalent to a human aged 3.
A cat doesn’t give a damn, and is sick of your crap:
Equivalent to a human aged 48.
Stone @juglugs lolz
Luke MacNeil@juglugs I don't think it's fair to ascribe the same intellect to all dogs. This is very triggering, and makes my dog feel bad about himself, as he can only count up to 3.

🤣 If the image I just boosted off your timeline is your dog, I believe I know the issue.

@batyalee 🌿@juglugs Definitely not my dog. He really doesn't respond well to words and really never could learn to just "lie down" no matter what. I need to use gestures to communicate most things.
Tigg aka Sandra Lindsey@juglugs a cat can also distinguish the sound of the fridge being opened for cheese from it being opened for any other reason...

Esme Ciredutemps@juglugs are you implying that 48 is better than 3 ?
(Then I strongly disagree even if I live with a cat)

Verđandi K Soldusty@juglugs And if you could have access to a large hadron collider, sending doggo brain one way & a cat's the other. They'd smash together & you'd have a house rabbit, it doesn't give two hoots but also, OMG! Yout have treats / I heard you call, I came for the head & back massage.
ArtemisDog can hear us. Cat can't.
Cat's mid hearing range is about 1-1.5 octave higher than Dog's or eg: the human voice. Not just that, their perception of time is faster than ours (we look slo-mo)
When a cat lives with someone who is mute-deaf the cat will learn to understand gestures and even to make their own gestures to communicate what they want
( Personal I think a cat's "miaow" is likely the closes sound a cat can make to emulate how we sound to them )
Auntie Mame@artemissian @juglugs Your last point is true. They meow to communicate with human voice.
tyx@artemissian @juglugs Sorry, that's seems not to be true, dogs and cats hearing frequency ranges both cover first hundreds Hz, where the most acoustic energy of human voice is. Also the upper harmonics of human speech are wa-a-ay over 1KHz. See:

Justin Skists@juglugs My dog is also good at ignoring my requests and commands, unless there is a treat involved......
..... just like my daughters.

CafePlease@juglugs can confirm
Macdaptable@juglugs I might say 15 instead of 48 but, point taken.
Brooke@juglugs 🤣🤣🤣 so true
Charity Feb@juglugs Bwahahaha!
Unprecedented 2023
Libation Legacy 🍸@juglugs Bah, I'm always amazed at the number of words that my cat can recognize.
