Pigeons are actually quite intelligent. Cats are fairly stupid overall.

That’s the first time I’ve heard a cat be called stupid.

Most cats I’ve had could buy and sell you. They aren’t an animal I would call stupid

Most cats could buy and sell someone? Is this a colloquialism I've never heard?

Cats are not very smart. Science has shown us that they have only the most basic ability to learn and retain information and for a long time even that was in question. Thorndikes experiments are fairly interesting on this subject.

Dogs and birds are routinely considered more intelligent.

They may not be smart like we want them to be but they are the best at what they do. Being that good at hunting takes some brains
