Pretty sure wolves and tigers have about the same size brain? Shit domesticated cats have less object permanence than dogs iirc

Usually pack animals are smarter than solitary ones, so id expect wolves to be smarter than tigers.

Exactly dogs also are much smarter as cats, no idea where the "Cats are smarter as dogs!" come's from

Dogs are smarter than cats, but this is probably a consequence of cats' success as solitary hunters- they never had to reason more than "sneak up and pounce." You'd be hard-pressed to find an animal better at killing than a cat of a given size range.

that is true, not in a good way as cat's here eat up pretty much anything that flies, would it only be rodents it's all good to me (they also grab them rest assure)

You know probably a lot more about wolves than us Dutchies, since we’ve got them back pretty recently. There must be around 100 wild wolves in the Netherlands and they keep attacking our sheep and other cattle. FYI: The Netherlands is the size of Vancouver Island but we are with 18 million.
