Are you smarter than your cat?

Are you a cat person or do you hate the vicious little beasts? Cats can be super-loving, cool little pals, or evil, twisted spiteful monsters. But whether you're a cat lover or a hater, do you find it easy to outsmart your feline friend? Maybe your best friend has a pampered puss that demands the best seat in the house? Perhaps your lap cat constantly sinks their claws into your denims, leaving everyone at the gym believing you got cooties of the legs? Check out our fun quiz to find out if you really are smarter than your cat. If you suddenly dropped dead, would your cat run for help or eat your tepid corpse?
