About This Quiz

There's nothing more relaxing than having a purring cat take up residence in your lap, but how did the cat get there? Whether you realize it or not, your furry friend is smart enough to get you to bend to their will. In fact, it wouldn't be surprising to learn that you have no idea how the purring cat got in your lap! After you tell us about your lives together, we will let you know exactly what type of mastermind you have on your hands! 

Research has shown that the average housecat doesn't think much differently than the larger cats that survive on their wits in the wild. When you claw your way through our questions, you'll let us know just how smart your housecat really is. It might not be able to survive a few years in the Amazon jungle, but we do think their actual intelligence level will impress you. 

Once you know how smart your cat really is, you will have another aspect of your relationship to take into account. The next time your kitty tries to bribe you with a dead-thing-surprise, you'll know exactly what they are really trying to pull. At least, you'll know their level of intelligence! Will you agree with the results?
