Mine caught a bat mid air in the living room and a few days later caught a snake in the same room. Yeah, maybe not smart, but effective at their duties...plus, they are great feet warmers at night when it's 10 below.

Not a fair comparison. The elephant has a trunk that functions like a hand. Who knows what cats could do, or be trained to do, if they had opposable thumbs?

My cat is incredibly intelligent. He even can speak at least three words: "No" "Mama" and "Now" (ETA, and use them in the proper context)

My cat can say "is this inedible garbage what you think of as cat food?" and "that goofball dog is going to meet Mr. Claw if he doesn't back off RIGHT NOW" and "you people are so completely stupid I don't know how much longer I can put up with you" - not with spoken words, but you can absolutely understand her message.

Mine can say, "Let meeout". Besides, cats paint elephants all the time.

LOL. I knew I would get some good responses with this one. It was really cool how the elephant could paint and sign its name though.
