I have always had dogs and cats. Overall, I would definitely say dogs are far smarter than cats. However, I once had a cat called Stoichkov, he was named after the footballer Hristo Stoichkov. He was such an intelligent cat and had amazing problem solving abilities, he also had a evil look and often sat staring at people without so much as a blink for hours. We always joked he would have made a great cat for a James Bond baddy. My Aunt had to feed him once while I was in Hospital, when she came to see me later that day she said that Stoichkov gave her the creeps

One morning he never appeared for breakfast and I never heard from him again. I can't believe he was hit by a car as he was far too intelligent to go near the road. My theory is that he had to get out of the UK fast after the mouse Police were getting tired of his massive bird / mouse kill tally, he is probably down in South America now running million dollar drug deals or involved with some other kind of crime in Eastern Europe,
