Great pic, and with my experience working with the public, I’d say cats and dogs are both smarter than 80% of the human population.
I fear that you’re absolutely right. But if they’re giving robots citizenship in Saudi Arabia, how long before we can start a movement for our smarter four-footed friends? We could teach them to bark and wag their tails at pictures of Trump, and growl at Hillary. Then explain they need our help in the voting booth because they’re thumb-handicapped.
