My tabby cat- passed away last night- she was intelligent. Knew commands and understood words. Very affectionate towards humans but not animals. She was a very sweet soul. I was so impressed with how easy it was to train her to fetch and follow commands including non-verbal commands like tapping on a surface is a command for her to come to the top of that surface. She was loved and will always be loved and missed.
I had a Maine Coon that used to accompany me when I walked my dog. Once someone saw him & warned me that a mean-looking cat was following me. I said, I know, he's mine! Then they were amazed that he was walking with me & asked how I taught him, but I didn't. He decided to do it himself!
There’s smart cats in every breeds. The more playful and affectionate a cat is, the more it tend to be smart. I think it depends on which breeds of cats people are used to, but all cats are smart on average.
Man, I wish I knew what kind of breed my Tuxedo is. He uses mirrors and reflections to keep an eye on what's happening behind him, knows how to open doors and cabinets and is such a strategic hunter it's incredible.
Your brilliant tuxie is probably a domestic shorthair (DSH) mix, which goes to show that hybrid vigor is real, especially where intelligence is concerned. FWIW, I have never met a tuxie who wasn't extremely clever and resourceful, so I'm also a big fan of DSH kittehs with this coat pattern.
I had a tuxedo cat before he was quite lazy. However despite most cats in my experience he was actually very timid and didn’t mind if someone were to come over to him and just pick him up for no reason, in fact he wouldn’t even try to escape when I picked him up. He would kind of just lay in my arms no matter what position he was in. He was such a sweet and calm cat not very active or playful he simply just liked sleeping. Tbh he was so comfortable with being held and sleeping in peoples laps till the point I though something was wrong with him, that’s how timid he was.
I have been introduced to many black & white cats*, and have been impressed with every one of them. Their intelligence is a mystery to me, but I think they have [commonly] some hybridiazation going on. . . [* Hey Felix the Cat was one of these!]
I had a Siamese that loved popcorn, He would sit below the popcorn bowl and reach up and grab popcorn with his paws and eat it just like I would do. Movie night always included my Cat.
My American Shorthair was brilliant.When he was a few months old my mom was running a few minutes late feeding him one day so he knocked on the door to her room with the fork she used to feed him and then when she opened it he gave it to her and meowed. She got the message and fed him lol.
What about the Maine Coon? 🤔 I had 4 Maine Coon cats staying at my home for a couple of weeks, while their owners went on a vacation. And I'm pretty sure that those 4 little "smartasses" had something to do with their owners finding the need to take a break! 😆 All four of them *ACTUALLY* worked together by letting two of them distract me while the other two SILENTLY stole all the cat-snacks from the kitchen! I shortly afterwards caught them feasting in their secret hangout inside a empty cabinet, which they could access from an unseen gap! Through out those 2 weeks they systematically figured out different ways to make my life a hell! 😩 For exapmple, tricking me into keeping the doors to restricted rooms open long enough by having one cat making a noise from across the room - and while I was directing my focus away from the door, 3 cats could sneak in faster than the speed of light! 😂 And they OBVIOUSLY somehow knew EXACTLY when I use to clean the litterbox, and always waited until I had sanitized it to perfection before they released a quadrouple nightmare turning my lavender-fragrant sandgarden masterpiece into a poop-mine of smelly stink-treasures... 😑 THEY ARE LITERALLY EVIL GENIUSES! ...But I loved them anyway 🥰 I actually miss those little hooligans! 🤗😼😼😼😼
@@nishatchotu I don't have any cats myself. I was just "babysitting" my friends cats for a couple of weeks, while they went on a vacation. ...And no. I can't just buy a cat, put it a box and ship it over to a stranger on the other side of the planet! That would be very irresponsible of me, and it would also be a quite horrible thing for a little kitten to experience as well 😕 They are not just some plush-toy you can order online 🙄
Someone dumped an Abyssinian mother and her young kitten outside our apartment and drove off. We found the mother a home and my sister took the kitten. He has opposable thumbs (so did his mother). It's actually really freaky -- he can grasp a cabinet handle like a primate. The other cats go to him when they want something "off limits" opened. We've had some pretty smart Persians too, but I don't know if that breed is particularly known for it.
I have owned a smart Maine Coon. He was pretty smart about most things. And had a very dog-like behavior. But then I got a Siberian cat (it's an ancestor of the maine coon breed, Siberian, Norwegian forest cat, and maine coon are the 3 arctic cat species). The Siberian is almost frighteningly smart. Way beyond anything I've ever seen or heard about in cats, or any other pet species. It's something which has to be seen to be believed. Her vocabulary skills are so high that I don't even know how to explain it. Even spelling things is not sufficient encoding for private talk. It's like having an 7 year old child. Sounds like an exaggeration, but it's not. I have no idea if it's species-wide with Siberians, or I have an outlier.
well i have a siberian forest cat and he follows me around, know his name, know his boundary (to not enter the kitchen), loves to play catch and very affectionate to children. he may be not in the list but i love him ☺️
My Siberian forest cat was very emotionally in tuned to me and the family. Every night he would say goodnight by jumping on my lap, reaching up and pulling my head down to kiss me.
My Norwegian forest cat Opie is a genius. He has a PhD in human behaviour- he’s an epicurean that loves nature films and classical music. He’s good at math too. And like a good dog he knows his name and carries his favourite teddy bear 🧸 around up and down the stairs
I agree all cats are smart and can be trained. I've had a variety of cat breeds but nothing compares to the Bengal and Norwegian forest cats that I've had. The Bengal would open doors and let herself out she would also routinely call our other two cats over for a conference and then talk with them and then send them away using only words. The Norwegian loves going on walks tells me if I am over cooking my breakfast, and turns lights off and on during the day. Additionally even though she was a small kitten at the time she immediately took command of our other two adult cats from the first day they met. She disciplines the other cats if they don't come when called as well.
Cats are usually pretty smart, e.g. my aunt's cat brings her mices, that his mom caught, because he knows, that he'll get treat for it and it took my aunt long time to figure this out and then there are cats, that can sit hour in front of window, demanding entrance, even though the doors are open 3 meters from her and she sees it, but she won't go through the door.
You need to add Barn Cats! I had a ginger, the Dude, that would try and copy my actions. He learned to open drawers, turn the door knob to get out into the hallway, raised two 4 week old kittens and potty trained them. He was very laid back and was great with children. He was one of a kind and I miss him very much.
Most breads that were mentioned were produced by crossing with Siamese, because of their nature and intelligence. Siamese are on different level. Too smart 🙃
During my childhood, over time we had 5 Siamese (generally two at a time). Personalities varied, but all were highly intelligent. As an adult, my first Siamese was very smart, and fairly aggressive. 2nd generation, I had a "pure" Siamese that was bright, but extremely lazy. (He could solve puzzles and deal with closed doors, etc., but was generally not very motivated. He had diabetes and quickly learned to jump onto a stool (for his insulin shot) before meals. A second cat at the same time had Siamese marking, but long hair, and was a "rescue" cat. Bright and resourceful, but not always quite as bright as other Siamese. Third generation was very bright but rather shy about strangers. Opened cabinets, doors, and was amazing at finding hiding spots. Now have two Bombay cats. Very social and loving cats. Reasonably intelligent, but do not have the puzzle solving skills exhibited by the various Siamese owned before.
@Wilhelm Otto Dusseldorf So true. My first Siamese, had lived with me 3 years before I got married. It took him nearly a year before he "accepted" the "new human" in the house. Intelligently, my wife did not 'push' herself with the cat (who had a reputation of ripping people's arms off)... Eventually, one day, he jumped up and sat in her lap (briefly and she did not touch him) ... step by step, he eventually fully accepted her in the home... but it took a very long time.
Turkish Vans! They are the swimming cats, climbing cats (no competition), talking cats, and athletes of the cat world. But smart? Off the scale! Yes, you guessed it. I am the proud owner, no, make that, I am proudly owned by a Turkish Van.
Same for the Turkish Angora. We had one from 4 week old to 17+ yrs. She was the best mouser we EVER had, and like to play in the water. Bittus impressed all the neighbors when she cleaned out 2 nests of rats in the neighboring 2 Palm Trees!! She would bring her catch home every night and leave it for us. The person who owned the trees came to thank us! He saw her in action and was amazed at her tenacity, strength, and cunning! Even though they are pure white, they are like a sphinx, as they can stay in the same position for hours and never move. That takes brains. BEST mouser we have EVER HAD!
Agreed! I had a Turkish Van mix and a Turkish Angora mix. Both extremely intelligent cats. My Angora is 1 1/2 years now and still clearly learning. You can see her little wheels turning. She watches my elder Maine Coon mix like, "Hey, how did you do that!?" And then she does it, too. My Maine Coon mix learned all the mischief on his own. But my Turkish Angora is happy to learn most of the mischief from him. Three very intelligent breeds.
I’ve had 2 Calico cats and they both are/were intelligent. My first Calico named Gia is by far the smartest cat I’ve ever owned. I have a Siamese and my second Calico named Calliope. Gia unfortunately died when she was just 5 due to kidney disease. I’d say Calliope and my Siamese are equally intelligent.
They are called puppy cats for a reason, very trainable but way too friendly. They'll try to make friends with any living creature which is why they must be kept indoors.
Yes, I adored my Ragdoll! And he was smart. He wasn't mischievous like my Maine Coons or my Turkish Angora, though. He mostly wanted to eat and snuggle.
I have 3 maine coon cats at home and they usually plot together such complex Plans that I still don't get how they think of it. Like the youngest cat distracts me in the living room while the older boys steal the meat from the kitchen table - together! Each one holds one end of the meat! Or when I'm done cleaning their Toilet, usually ALL 3 of them make sure to use it RIGHT AFTER its cleaned. The girl is so smart, she gets the toys and starts to play with me to get my attention. She is by far the smartest of them all, she know exactly how to play, how to open doors, how to use the mirror in hunting etc. She also hides MY KEYS in order for me to not leave the house
I had three Abyssians and they certainly had wonderful personalities, but the most intelligent cat I ever had was an Egyptian Mau named Sam - the breed used in the Cat Woman movie. I miss him terribly.
My Burmese was very smart! He could lock the door, and always knew when I was feeling down or sick. I swear he also learned to say a few words correctly, and in context, like no, right now, and wrong (“rong”). I’m sure he was mimicking, but he noticed I made those sounds when I was angry or wanted something, which resonated with him. When I was talking to someone, he would chatter, using extra consonants. I want another Burmese, “Right now!”
Love cats my rag doll is both beautiful and smart she fetches didn’t even have to teach her I can call her name and she comes on command tell her no or get down she listen so smart.
I have five cats - british shorthair, sphynx cat an 3 that are not some special breed, they are all amazing, and really intelligent. All of them have specific characters, and i just adore them! ❤️❤️❤️ Cats are everything! ❤️❤️❤️
I enjoy all these comments. They are mostly spot on! We currently have a neutered tom Balinese who is unbelievable! However I have seen tabby rescues just as smart and lovable. It’s all about how a cat’s care taker loves him or her!
When I was a kid we had a Siamese cat named Tylo that learned to open screen doors and used the toilet like a person. When he was done he even tried to flush the toilet and spun the t/p on the floor. I thought it was hilarious but my mom not so much! Never had a cat that smart since Tylo, he was very special!!!
You need to add Manx to the list. They're smart, active, agile and loves lots of vertical space and jumping. They love to interact with their human companions. Can be taught tricks, and are highly curious. They are vocal but have a soft purr like trill. Also when they purr it is so soft it is almost unnoticed. They love other animals to interact with, including dogs, cats and other household pets. They are a lap cat who loves to be petted, and will sit in your lap for as long as you sit.
My mackerel tabby baby is very intelligent. He knows words I talk and understand everything perfectly well. He knows when I chase away other fighting cats and follow me to find where those stray cats are hiding just like a puppy :*
I currently have an 18 pound PixieBob/American WireHair. He is like a dog, he comes when called. Plays fetch, His best friend is my(10 pound) toy poodle, the two of them love to play chase around the yard. My Favorite Cat I have ever had, he isn't quite as smart as my siamese but he is much easier to manage. Very low maintenance cat( the Wirehair) his fur is very soft and easy to take care of and He also loves to sleep with me at night. LOVE MY CAT BANDIT😘🙀 he is the sweetest cat ever!!!
I have a Bombay cat, he's actually very smart, and he's a fast learner, very easy going. He loves to play games, and he likes warm baths and he's so affectionate and loves attention, he's a lap kitty for sure.
I have a Lynx Point Siamese and she is smart Kitty. She can break out of anything lol and problem solve. she turns on faucets for the other cats and walks away lol opens cabinets and drawers where we keep treats and helps herself. She unzips my bag lol knocks everything off the counter for fun especially when she wants our attention. ugh! Saki is a little love :)
I wonder what t would be like having a Main Coon and Bengal in same household together. I Love both of them.💖💖 Actually all cats. 😁💖💖 I think all Cats are very smart. They can be trained. 💖
You definitely should have included Ocicats. They are extremely intelligent and can be trained to do so many things such as playing fetch, that our veteranarian calls them "dogs in cat suits."
MAINE COONS Literally had my Maine coon help me find a lost dog once. When commanded to stop scratching our furniture and pointed to a scratch post he was the only one of our three cats that figured out the scratch post was where he was supposed to scratch and consistently ever since then has scratched there One time he came on to our bed with dirty feet and we kept repeating to him over and over that he needed to clean his feet before he came onto her bed again cuz the bed was all dirty and he kept looking into her eyes trying to understand what we were saying and we pointed to our feet and we kept saying clean your feet and finally he started cleaning his feet I'm not even kidding If told not to touch our food he doesn't if told to get down he does he understands more English than any cat I've ever known. NOT ONLY THAT but if he had been trained younger he would have been an amazing therapy cat. We had one of our best friends pass away in our living room with his girlfriend. Snivo was in the room with them when they passed away and whenever the ambulance is came and there were about 20 people family members and Friends standing in front of the house crying he was out on the road farther than his territory and he was just walking in between all of our legs rubbing up against us and meowing and finding the person that was the saddest and going to them. Time I raise my voice he starts meowing at me to tell me to be quiet and to calm down and when I get angry he like pats me and tries to tell me to calm down. When I start crying really hard and get really upset and lost in my own head he will meow and tap me and just stand there and rub against me he is the most intelligent cat on the planet in my opinion
Devon Rex is another smart breed. They're more muscular in build than the Cornish Rex and can easily jump into the higher shelves in tall cabinets and bookcases and can esily jump onto your shoulders from the floor and your shoulders are their favorite place to perch so BEWARE. Devons are also notorious for interacting with your face and pretty much treat the rest of you as transportation for your head. Devon tails are always active so it's not a good measure of irritation. And they're generally, males in particular, quite demanding of constant attention, even if it's just sitting on your lap. If you want a cat that stays aloof, the Devon Rex is NOT your kind of cat. A friend of mine, a dog owner, accurately summed up a Devon Rex as a Jack Russell terrier that poops in a box, lives on your shoulders and gets into all the places a Jack Russell cannot reach. Vacuums and noises generally don't scare them. Because of their thin coats, they insist on sleeping under the covers with you in bed and forget about putting your thermostat below 72 degrees if you want to keep them healthy. And be ready to perform regular ear cleaning and care. It's NOT optional.
My cats are Tonkinese which is technically included, as it is a cross between Siamese and Burmese, which are both on the list. Dear heavens they are brilliant, and I can’t imagine a human providing such enlivening and delightful company. In the absence of language mine created their own language using physical gestures on the spot-much like an incredible game of charades-and as such I am never at a loss for knowing what’s on their mind, and there is a considerable and brilliant amount to express. Keep in mind that intelligence always carries along with it a strong will and a need for stimulation. If you work constructively with the strong will instead of trying to dominate it, and provide excursions that provide stimulation (as my cats are indoor cats I took them into our garage, or outside to our car or enclosed deck or a walk in a pet stroller) they are heaven on earth to live with.
My Tabby cat opens all my kitchen cabinets and goes inside to see if anything interesting is there. She knows her commands but will obey when she wants to to..
Currently have an abyssinian cat and they are really something. Have had three mixed breeds cat and was actually interested in getting a ragdoll och maine coon because of their gentle way and kind character, but an aby is honestly on a different level, if you want an active breed that works with small children, they are perfect. LOVE other cat breeds as well but once you go aby its hard to even consider something else afterwards.
I've always considered an Aby. But got a Turkish Angora as there were some going near where I lived. The Turks are playful, vocal and sometimes crazy. But so beautiful. Well he's gone now so thinking of an Abassynian.
I knew my rescue cat found in a drain wouldn't be on the list. Every time I call her silly, I think she is smart enough to survive and find a good home.
My maine coon kitten is 3weeks old. I place his food and litterbox in 1 corner and always fill his bowl with food but today i forgot to fill his bowl and it was empty. He didn't meowing but instead he grab his bowl with his mouth and bring it and put the bowl right beside me, look at me and meowing. I'm so surprised he's so young but yet so smart.
Great list!! My Cheetoh is also very intelligent, dog-like. He's amazing. He's now 10 years old. He still acts like a kitten. I love exotics. They’re beautiful, rare, and fun to have.
I've had three rescued Havanas Browns; one from a no-kill shelter and two separately from veterinarians. None of the previous owners could find homes for them because the breed 'had reputation of being difficult'. In each case this was nonsense. All became loving, interesting and fun to live with. I was devastated when we had to say goodbye at the end of their lives. Go with your instinct, and experience of previous pets with a sensible outlook. A kind heart goes a long way, whether you have two legs or four. Thank you for great video. Anyone in Spain got a Havana in need of good home?
@@michaellawrence6677 Got it in one -- and I don't really trust anyone who claims to dislike animals. (Consider: no pets in the current White House -- but Joe Biden's German shepherd Major will be the first Presidential rescue doggo in US history. That says more than one might think -- now let's see if we can get Kamala Harris to adopt a couple of shelter kittehs...😊🐱🐶👍💜)
I used to breed Chinchillas they are one of the most beautiful cats in the world. Very intelligent and affectionate they are the winners of most cat shows!
When my brother and I were kids our Dad saw an add in the newspaper listing as " free kittens to a good home", so that evening our parents surprised each of us with a kitten. They were American Shorthairs. My brother's cat "Dandy" was so smart it would hide from Mom's puppy when the dog was chasing Dandy. It would hide under the bathroom sink, then when the coast was clear with no sound of the puppy, a black paw would open the door and come out.
A bit ridiculous to say these rare breeds that hardly anyone has ever heard of could be deemed to be the MOST intelligent... In any case as I have owned 57 cats over my long lifetime, I would say that most all cats are very intelligent.
Totally agree. All cats are smart. Even smarter than dogs coz they're unpredictable but very safe to be with humans. No one got killed if they're with cats.
Bombay - l had one for 18 yrs. Not only was she smart but she saved my life Twice when l stopped breathing. My son came out to find her pounding on my chest repeatedly until l started breathing again. She would then sit, watching me for the rest of the night. I still miss her. 💜🌹🇦🇺👍😭

Our daughter got a beautiful long haired kitten from a litter down the street from where they lived many years ago. There were a lot of apartments and strays around there and 10 yrs later our other daughter moved into the same area and picked out 2 kittens who looked the same as her sister’s cat 10 yrs before. We found out years later they were Maine Coon cats and although not purebred that part of their breed was dominate. All 3 of those cats lived very long lives, i believe The elder male lived to age 21 and was well over 20-21 pounds. The 2 females 10 yrs after the male was born was also well over 20 lbs and one passed away last year at 19 yrs and the other just passed away also over 20lbs. They were 3 of the smartest cats i’ve known. They all had polydactyl front feet…extra toes that looked like boxing gloves.😁They used these interesting paws to break into cupboards, and open doors. Nothing was off limits. The male was allowed to go outside until he brought rats and birds home for mom. From then on he was an inside cat. I love MC! (Truth be known i also had a mixed breed Maine Coon in 1976) beautiful 24 pound fella!
I have a Korat cat and she is very intelligent. She opens louvered doors and cabinets, and she is very curious and inquisitive. She tends to be quiet, but when she wants something she becomes very vocal. Whenever I go into the kitchen she always shows up in the kitchen. She loves tuna fish and chicken, and she loves her milk in her bowl.

Hello how are you doing.
Agrre! They are unique and intelligent! All of them! ❤️
I agree all cats are smart and can be trained. I've had a variety of cat breeds but nothing compares to the Bengal and Norwegian forest cats that I've had. The Bengal would open doors and let herself out she would also routinely call our other two cats over for a conference and then talk with them and then send them away using only words. The Norwegian loves going on walks tells me if I am over cooking my breakfast, and turns lights off and on during the day. Additionally even though she was a small kitten at the time she immediately took command of our other two adult cats from the first day they met. She disciplines the other cats if they don't come when called as well.
Ragdolls are not dummies either. And very sweet kitties too.
The Russian Blues are very smart.
Cats are usually pretty smart, e.g. my aunt's cat brings her mices, that his mom caught, because he knows, that he'll get treat for it and it took my aunt long time to figure this out and then there are cats, that can sit hour in front of window, demanding entrance, even though the doors are open 3 meters from her and she sees it, but she won't go through the door.
Maine Coon cats are one of the ultimate in intelligence. You messed up this list.
They had a photo of one in the Thumbnail.
Michael Lawrence 100% agree
I had a Siberian cat - she had a human-like personality. So we treated her like a family member :) An extremely intelligent and kind cat she was.
This is so accurate
I own 5 sibs, they are all clever but one of them is highly intelligent and her human vocabulary is quite amazing
You need to add Barn Cats! I had a ginger, the Dude, that would try and copy my actions. He learned to open drawers, turn the door knob to get out into the hallway, raised two 4 week old kittens and potty trained them. He was very laid back and was great with children. He was one of a kind and I miss him very much.
In my personal opinion the Siamese is the smartest I should know I had two in my life time.
Most breads that were mentioned were produced by crossing with Siamese, because of their nature and intelligence. Siamese are on different level. Too smart 🙃
During my childhood, over time we had 5 Siamese (generally two at a time). Personalities varied, but all were highly intelligent. As an adult, my first Siamese was very smart, and fairly aggressive. 2nd generation, I had a "pure" Siamese that was bright, but extremely lazy. (He could solve puzzles and deal with closed doors, etc., but was generally not very motivated. He had diabetes and quickly learned to jump onto a stool (for his insulin shot) before meals. A second cat at the same time had Siamese marking, but long hair, and was a "rescue" cat. Bright and resourceful, but not always quite as bright as other Siamese. Third generation was very bright but rather shy about strangers. Opened cabinets, doors, and was amazing at finding hiding spots. Now have two Bombay cats. Very social and loving cats. Reasonably intelligent, but do not have the puzzle solving skills exhibited by the various Siamese owned before.
I’m on my 6th , I couldn’t agree more
@Wilhelm Otto Dusseldorf So true. My first Siamese, had lived with me 3 years before I got married. It took him nearly a year before he "accepted" the "new human" in the house. Intelligently, my wife did not 'push' herself with the cat (who had a reputation of ripping people's arms off)... Eventually, one day, he jumped up and sat in her lap (briefly and she did not touch him) ... step by step, he eventually fully accepted her in the home... but it took a very long time.
I've had Siamese and Maine Coon. I adore both, but Maine Coons are definitely more intelligent. :-)
Turkish Vans! They are the swimming cats, climbing cats (no competition), talking cats, and athletes of the cat world. But smart? Off the scale! Yes, you guessed it. I am the proud owner, no, make that, I am proudly owned by a Turkish Van.
Same for the Turkish Angora. We had one from 4 week old to 17+ yrs. She was the best mouser we EVER had, and like to play in the water. Bittus impressed all the neighbors when she cleaned out 2 nests of rats in the neighboring 2 Palm Trees!! She would bring her catch home every night and leave it for us. The person who owned the trees came to thank us! He saw her in action and was amazed at her tenacity, strength, and cunning! Even though they are pure white, they are like a sphinx, as they can stay in the same position for hours and never move. That takes brains. BEST mouser we have EVER HAD!
Totally agree. I had a Turkish Van. Rare in the UK highly intelligent and so beautiful. Those eyes. And their hair is like silk
Totally agree. Ted my boy was such a unique cat and I still miss him. Very rare here in Australia 🇦🇺
Agreed! I had a Turkish Van mix and a Turkish Angora mix. Both extremely intelligent cats. My Angora is 1 1/2 years now and still clearly learning. You can see her little wheels turning. She watches my elder Maine Coon mix like, "Hey, how did you do that!?" And then she does it, too. My Maine Coon mix learned all the mischief on his own. But my Turkish Angora is happy to learn most of the mischief from him. Three very intelligent breeds.
@@virglibrsaglove my angora is all black, and is like a tiny maine coon
The smartest cat I ever owned was a domestic short hair cat gotten from the pound. Maybe the diverse genetics helped.
Same here , my tiny black , mixed female is the brightest cat I’ve ever known , she even knows how to turn off the computer when I’m ignoring her 😂❤️
I’ve had 2 Calico cats and they both are/were intelligent. My first Calico named Gia is by far the smartest cat I’ve ever owned. I have a Siamese and my second Calico named Calliope. Gia unfortunately died when she was just 5 due to kidney disease. I’d say Calliope and my Siamese are equally intelligent.
Ragdoll cats are very intelligent, too.
Right! Playing fetch, anyone?
Yup
mines r not
I was going to say the same, mine is very intelligent
@@n0namesowhatblerp362 Yes mine plays fetch. I have 8. Finn loves bottle tops.
The Rag Doll cats are extremely smart cats as well.
I'm quite upset that they didn't include the rag doll, it's my favourite breed! 😤😤😤
@Rose Benson Both of mine haven't got two brain cells between them to rub together.
I taught mine to fetch straws,and q-tips!!
They are called puppy cats for a reason, very trainable but way too friendly. They'll try to make friends with any living creature which is why they must be kept indoors.
Yes, I adored my Ragdoll! And he was smart. He wasn't mischievous like my Maine Coons or my Turkish Angora, though. He mostly wanted to eat and snuggle.
I have 3 maine coon cats at home and they usually plot together such complex Plans that I still don't get how they think of it.
Like the youngest cat distracts me in the living room while the older boys steal the meat from the kitchen table - together! Each one holds one end of the meat!
Or when I'm done cleaning their Toilet, usually ALL 3 of them make sure to use it RIGHT AFTER its cleaned.
The girl is so smart, she gets the toys and starts to play with me to get my attention. She is by far the smartest of them all, she know exactly how to play, how to open doors, how to use the mirror in hunting etc.
She also hides MY KEYS in order for me to not leave the house
British shorthair , ragdoll , Maine coon :am I a flipping joke to you?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have a siamese currently sat on my lap, MEOWING. Gets into everything.
I had three Abyssians and they certainly had wonderful personalities, but the most intelligent cat I ever had was an Egyptian Mau named Sam - the breed used in the Cat Woman movie. I miss him terribly.
My little girl is a Mau and she is super smart❤️🐾
I've known only a few Egyptian mau kittehs, but all of those are almost shockingly clever.
I'd love to have a Mau, or a Siberian forest cat
My Burmese was very smart! He could lock the door, and always knew when I was feeling down or sick. I swear he also learned to say a few words correctly, and in context, like no, right now, and wrong (“rong”). I’m sure he was mimicking, but he noticed I made those sounds when I was angry or wanted something, which resonated with him. When I was talking to someone, he would chatter, using extra consonants. I want another Burmese, “Right now!”
As far as i’m concerned all cats are highly intelligent!! 😊🥰👍🏻
A while back. a study was done & they said that cats are smarter than dogs!! Hmmm!
Cunning yes clever sure intelligent?
mmm just depends.
Just watched this with my Savanah "Juni".
She was nodding with approval when it got to her breed...
Love cats my rag doll is both beautiful and smart she fetches didn’t even have to teach her I can call her name and she comes on command tell her no or get down she listen so smart.
You got lucky. Our rag doll was a beautiful, cuddly fuzzy buddy but, dumb as a brick and clumsy as hell, still a wonderful creature.
Really.... that is so smart of your cat 🐈
Hello how are you doing today.
Hello Jenia how's the weather over there
I have five cats - british shorthair, sphynx cat an 3 that are not some special breed, they are all amazing, and really intelligent. All of them have specific characters, and i just adore them! ❤️❤️❤️ Cats are everything! ❤️❤️❤️
Alllll cats are energetic, adorable n beauuutifullll n PRECIOUS🐾🐾🐾🐾 ❤❤❤
Sooo true! ❤️
Not all cats are energetic. They are when they're kittens, but as they grow older, some breeds slow down, like the Ragdoll, the Persian, etc.
I enjoy all these comments. They are mostly spot on! We currently have a neutered tom Balinese who is unbelievable! However I have seen tabby rescues just as smart and lovable. It’s all about how a cat’s care taker loves him or her!
When I was a kid we had a Siamese cat named Tylo that learned to open screen doors and used the toilet like a person. When he was done he even tried to flush the toilet and spun the t/p on the floor. I thought it was hilarious but my mom not so much! Never had a cat that smart since Tylo, he was very special!!!
You need to add Manx to the list. They're smart, active, agile and loves lots of vertical space and jumping. They love to interact with their human companions. Can be taught tricks, and are highly curious. They are vocal but have a soft purr like trill. Also when they purr it is so soft it is almost unnoticed. They love other animals to interact with, including dogs, cats and other household pets. They are a lap cat who loves to be petted, and will sit in your lap for as long as you sit.
Manx are really pretty and more unusual without a tail.
Yes Manx is highly intelligent
Mancs are stupid. Top man, mad fer it! They're even worse than scousers.
The narrator sound so serious as if these cats wiht be exticed if we did get them 😂🤣lol
They are all soo cute. I love cats
My mackerel tabby baby is very intelligent. He knows words I talk and understand everything perfectly well. He knows when I chase away other fighting cats and follow me to find where those stray cats are hiding just like a puppy :*
I think that the Ragdoll kitties are really great, and mixed breeds are great.
Hello Robin how's the weather over there
I currently have an 18 pound PixieBob/American WireHair. He is like a dog, he comes when called. Plays fetch, His best friend is my(10 pound) toy poodle, the two of them love to play chase around the yard. My Favorite Cat I have ever had, he isn't quite as smart as my siamese but he is much easier to manage. Very low maintenance cat( the Wirehair) his fur is very soft and easy to take care of and He also loves to sleep with me at night. LOVE MY CAT BANDIT😘🙀 he is the sweetest cat ever!!!
I have a Bombay cat, he's actually very smart, and he's a fast learner, very easy going. He loves to play games, and he likes warm baths and he's so affectionate and loves attention, he's a lap kitty for sure.

cabinets and drawers where we keep treats and helps herself. She unzips my bag lol
knocks everything off the counter for fun especially when she wants our attention.

We have a korat- she’s super smart. She follows me around like a puppy!
I wonder what t would be like having a Main Coon and Bengal in same household together. I Love both of them.💖💖 Actually all cats. 😁💖💖 I think all Cats are very smart. They can be trained. 💖
Hello Jamie how's the weather over there
You definitely should have included Ocicats. They are extremely intelligent and can be trained to do so many things such as playing fetch, that our veteranarian calls them "dogs in cat suits."
MAINE COONS
Literally had my Maine coon help me find a lost dog once.
When commanded to stop scratching our furniture and pointed to a scratch post he was the only one of our three cats that figured out the scratch post was where he was supposed to scratch and consistently ever since then has scratched there
One time he came on to our bed with dirty feet and we kept repeating to him over and over that he needed to clean his feet before he came onto her bed again cuz the bed was all dirty and he kept looking into her eyes trying to understand what we were saying and we pointed to our feet and we kept saying clean your feet and finally he started cleaning his feet I'm not even kidding
If told not to touch our food he doesn't if told to get down he does he understands more English than any cat I've ever known.
NOT ONLY THAT but if he had been trained younger he would have been an amazing therapy cat.
We had one of our best friends pass away in our living room with his girlfriend. Snivo was in the room with them when they passed away and whenever the ambulance is came and there were about 20 people family members and Friends standing in front of the house crying he was out on the road farther than his territory and he was just walking in between all of our legs rubbing up against us and meowing and finding the person that was the saddest and going to them.
Time I raise my voice he starts meowing at me to tell me to be quiet and to calm down and when I get angry he like pats me and tries to tell me to calm down. When I start crying really hard and get really upset and lost in my own head he will meow and tap me and just stand there and rub against me he is the most intelligent cat on the planet in my opinion
Eh? You had a couple die in your living room??
Devon Rex is another smart breed. They're more muscular in build than the Cornish Rex and can easily jump into the higher shelves in tall cabinets and bookcases and can esily jump onto your shoulders from the floor and your shoulders are their favorite place to perch so BEWARE. Devons are also notorious for interacting with your face and pretty much treat the rest of you as transportation for your head. Devon tails are always active so it's not a good measure of irritation. And they're generally, males in particular, quite demanding of constant attention, even if it's just sitting on your lap. If you want a cat that stays aloof, the Devon Rex is NOT your kind of cat. A friend of mine, a dog owner, accurately summed up a Devon Rex as a Jack Russell terrier that poops in a box, lives on your shoulders and gets into all the places a Jack Russell cannot reach. Vacuums and noises generally don't scare them. Because of their thin coats, they insist on sleeping under the covers with you in bed and forget about putting your thermostat below 72 degrees if you want to keep them healthy. And be ready to perform regular ear cleaning and care. It's NOT optional.
Persian cat be like: ummm OK, I know I'm not as clever as they are, at least I'm cute. 🥰🥰
Haha true! ❤️
*Cats are so smart ! Usefull video, I liked and Subscribed*
My cats are Tonkinese which is technically included, as it is a cross between Siamese and Burmese, which are both on the list. Dear heavens they are brilliant, and I can’t imagine a human providing such enlivening and delightful company. In the absence of language mine created their own language using physical gestures on the spot-much like an incredible game of charades-and as such I am never at a loss for knowing what’s on their mind, and there is a considerable and brilliant amount to express.
Keep in mind that intelligence always carries along with it a strong will and a need for stimulation. If you work constructively with the strong will instead of trying to dominate it, and provide excursions that provide stimulation (as my cats are indoor cats I took them into our garage, or outside to our car or enclosed deck or a walk in a pet stroller) they are heaven on earth to live with.
Love the way Tonks look.
My adopted cat can flush toilets & open refrigerator doors 🤭
Who else saw Smoothie the British Shorthair in the thumbnail?
yes!
Smoothie the British LONGhair
My Tabby cat opens all my kitchen cabinets and goes inside to see if anything interesting is there. She knows her commands but will obey when she wants to to..
Definitely the Maine Coon needs to be added!
Hello Cheryl how's the weather over there
You should make more videos on cats.
I can see him making awesome cat videos! Most affectionate cat breeds?
Himalayan Persian cats should be in the list
Don't forget about the snowshoe cat. Very smart needs a lot of attention, loves to play.
The snowshoe cat is a nickname for a Maine Coon.
Moggies are the best....also rescued cats, special breeds often are inbred
Currently have an abyssinian cat and they are really something. Have had three mixed breeds cat and was actually interested in getting a ragdoll och maine coon because of their gentle way and kind character, but an aby is honestly on a different level, if you want an active breed that works with small children, they are perfect. LOVE other cat breeds as well but once you go aby its hard to even consider something else afterwards.
I've always considered an Aby. But got a Turkish Angora as there were some going near where I lived. The Turks are playful, vocal and sometimes crazy. But so beautiful. Well he's gone now so thinking of an Abassynian.
@@freyatilly First of all, i'm sorry for your loss.
My favorite Abyssinian and Savannah cat.just keep them on the list.awesome
I knew my rescue cat found in a drain wouldn't be on the list. Every time I call her silly, I think she is smart enough to survive and find a good home.
She is smart - she selected a lovely human to live with.
Norwegian Forest Cat is a gentle athletic intuitive dog.
Hello Tessa how's the weather over there
My maine coon kitten is 3weeks old. I place his food and litterbox in 1 corner and always fill his bowl with food but today i forgot to fill his bowl and it was empty. He didn't meowing but instead he grab his bowl with his mouth and bring it and put the bowl right beside me, look at me and meowing. I'm so surprised he's so young but yet so smart.
I love my cat 🐈💕
She is named Mischief and her name fits her perfectly. ❤😂
Turkish angora of course the border collie of the cat world ❤
Hello Tammy how's the weather over there
When you mum doesn't want a cat in the house but you have a phone-
Great list!! My Cheetoh is also very intelligent, dog-like. He's amazing. He's now 10 years old. He still acts like a kitten. I love exotics. They’re beautiful, rare, and fun to have.
"their"...what?
Just make sure kitty stays indoors.
Siberian cat and Blue Russian are also very is smart cats 🐈 💙 👌
I've had three rescued Havanas Browns; one from a no-kill shelter and two separately from veterinarians. None of the previous owners could find homes for them because the breed 'had reputation of being difficult'. In each case this was nonsense. All became loving, interesting and fun to live with. I was devastated when we had to say goodbye at the end of their lives. Go with your instinct, and experience of previous pets with a sensible outlook. A kind heart goes a long way, whether you have two legs or four. Thank you for great video. Anyone in Spain got a Havana in need of good home?
Tuxedo cat should be on the list.
Ikr
It’s because that’s a coloration, not a breed :)
that’s not a breed genius
There is no such thing as a Tuxedo cat breed. That’s just a color a cats coat can be:)
@@ElSings Mhm, I figured that out a month ago! For some reason I always thought it was a breed. Thanks for telling me though!

When my brother and I were kids our Dad saw an add in the newspaper listing as " free kittens to a good home", so that evening our parents surprised each of us with a kitten. They were American Shorthairs. My brother's cat "Dandy" was so smart it would hide from Mom's puppy when the dog was chasing Dandy. It would hide under the bathroom sink, then when the coast was clear with no sound of the puppy, a black paw would open the door and come out.
A bit ridiculous to say these rare breeds that hardly anyone has ever heard of could be deemed to be the MOST intelligent... In any case as I have owned 57 cats over my long lifetime, I would say that most all cats are very intelligent.
Totally agree. All cats are smart. Even smarter than dogs coz they're unpredictable but very safe to be with humans. No one got killed if they're with cats.
My orange tabby is just a smart ass.
As far as I'm concerned...Maine Coon cats are really smart and interactive

Our daughter got a beautiful long haired kitten from a litter down the street from where they lived many years ago. There were a lot of apartments and strays around there and 10 yrs later our other daughter moved into the same area and picked out 2 kittens who looked the same as her sister’s cat 10 yrs before. We found out years later they were Maine Coon cats and although not purebred that part of their breed was dominate. All 3 of those cats lived very long lives, i believe The elder male lived to age 21 and was well over 20-21 pounds. The 2 females 10 yrs after the male was born was also well over 20 lbs and one passed away last year at 19 yrs and the other just passed away also over 20lbs. They were
3 of the smartest cats i’ve known. They all had polydactyl front feet…extra toes that looked like boxing gloves.😁They used these interesting paws to break into cupboards, and open doors. Nothing was off limits. The male was allowed to go outside until he brought rats and birds home for mom. From then on he was an inside cat. I love MC! (Truth be known i also had a mixed breed Maine Coon in 1976) beautiful 24 pound fella!
I have a Korat cat and she is very intelligent. She opens louvered doors and cabinets, and she is very curious and inquisitive. She tends to be quiet, but when she wants something she becomes very vocal. Whenever I go into the kitchen she always shows up in the kitchen. She loves tuna fish and chicken, and she loves her milk in her bowl.
