Many people ask me 'are cats intelligent?'
I always reply in the same way - 'No. they are not'
But Oreo has made me think again. Last week, our Tupperware container full of chilles was on the kitchen floor. Mrs EO was mystified.
That night, I was woken by a loud noise, I checked for intruders. nothing
next morning , the missus found the Tupperware on the floor again.
The next morning, the rice from the Chinese was knocked off the worktop and scattered on the kitchen floor, the next evening my lamb tikka starters were knocked off, all over the floor, and one was taken.
To top it off this morning, a bowl with a plate covering it, for microwaving a pudding. The plate was removed and the bowl neatly upside down.
So here we have a cat that understands gravity, leverage and flipping a bowl by putting weight on the rim
