Dog people and cat people have long argued about which species is more intelligent. Scientists from Vanderbilt University believe that their latest research may settle the matter once and for all.

They compared the number of cortical neurons – the “little gray cells” associated with thinking, planning and complex behavior – in the brains of several carnivores. When it came to dogs and cats, the pups won in a landslide!

Their cortical neuron count was found to be more than double that of their feline counterparts. Humans have about 16 billion of these cells in their brains; dogs have about 530 million; cats have 250 million.

Maybe it's not up to number of cells but up to way they use them :D
I am joking of course, but what I learned as a dog and cat parent is that cats usually find the way to outsmart dogs :)
