Kitty on a leash?

Sure. Contrary to popular belief, you can train cats. The difference between a cat and a dog is one is smart enough to know it's being led around, and will rebel against it. The other is happy, happy enough to go into OMG FREE FOOD MODE *PUKE* Omnomnomnom!

Contrary to popular belief, it's not established whether cats or dogs are generally smarter. What is well established is that cats and dogs are very different types of animals and have very different motivations.

Dogs are pack animals and are driven to fit in; to please their pack/master. Cats are solitary and generally don't have any interest in things that don't immediately benefit them.

Cats have superior long-term memory, they learn by trial-and-error and retain what they learned better. Dogs have superior working memory which equals superior problem-solving skills, but the cat's long-term memory advantage means it's more likely to combine things it's learned in the past into a new solution.

Dogs are more likely to solve a problem by contemplation vs the cat's trial-and-error approach.

Cats have far more dextrous paws which allows for more precise object manipulation.

And of course all of these things vary greatly between individual breeds (huskies, for example, don't exhibit typical dog pack mentality).

Amazing. Not only were you bitter enough to downvote my comment, but you missed the entire joke. I suppose reality, and humor have no place in the world. You may now continue with your self-imposed bitterness.

It's got nothing to do with bitterness; you were propagating a myth. That is something that I oppose so I did my little part to help make your comment less noticeable. I then responded with a healthy dose of reality (which I guess has no place in the world?).

You're right about one thing, though: I definitely missed the joke. I'm still not sure what it is even now that you've told me there is one. Is it that you said something that's not true? Is that the funny part? Or is it the netspeak onomatopoeia at the end?

PS: I downvoted your last comment, too, but that also wasn't out of bitterness. That was because you were rude for no justifiable reason.
