How to tell if your cat's 'IQ' is high? There are 3 measurement bases

I read a paper on pet IQ and behavior analysis, which mentioned such a point of view:

The shovel officer trains the cat some simple commands, such as: shake hands, sit down.

If the cat can repeat it many times and cooperate with the owner, it means that the cat's IQ is equivalent to that of a 1-2 year old child.

Many shit shoveling officers are used to using "silly cats" to describe their cats. The reason is that cats have poor obedience and low cooperation.

In fact, there is a certain basis for judging whether a cat's IQ is high or low.

A cat with poor obedience may not have a low IQ; a cat who is obedient and clingy may not have a high IQ.

First: observe the cat's "attention" to the object

The easiest way to do this is for the shit shoveler to interact with the cat and lure the cat with a ball or a cat stick.

You throw the ball and see if the cat will pick it up.

You tease the cat with the cat stick and watch the cat's enthusiasm for interacting with you.

If the cat cooperates well, it means that the cat's IQ is still high.

The advanced test is:

Interact with the cat playing with the ball, suddenly hide the ball in the middle, and put the ball in the drawer in front of the cat.

Next, watch the cat's reaction.

Cats with high IQs tend to rummage in drawers, trying to get the balls out.

Conversely, if the cat loses interest in an instant, even if you take the ball out, the cat's interest is not high.

This shows that the cat's IQ is somewhat low.

Second: to see if the cat will "observation"

Simply put:

Can the cat detect the shit shoveling officer's emotions in time and give some responses.

A cat with a normal IQ can detect the anger of its owner.

for example:

When the cat makes a mistake, the owner yells or stands up from the sofa; at this time, the cat often stops the erroneous behavior, runs away quickly, and hides in the corner to peek at the reaction of the shoveler.

This normal reaction and behavior indicates that your cat's IQ is normal.

Cats with higher IQs will judge and analyze the emotional changes of their owners.

Simplest example:

The cat will overturn the water glass on the table while staring at you.

If the cat sees you angry, stop immediately;

If the cat doesn't see you as moody or angry, the cat will try a little and push the cup to the edge of the table.

At this time, you cough, and the cat with high IQ will push the cup back to its original position.

Such trials and repetitions, cats never tire of it.

If your cat can do this, it's simply "beautiful."

Third: cats who know how to "revenge" the shit shoveling officer have a low IQ

This is easier to understand.

You hit the cat and scold the cat, and they will show varying degrees of revenge.

If you scold the cat for a few words, it will become indifferent, no longer approach you, or even bother to interact with you; even if you have something delicious in your hand, the cat will be indifferent.

And when you hit a cat, they will look for an opportunity to get revenge on you.

For example: hiding in a corner, suddenly rushing out to bite you, and then running away.

Or poop everywhere on your bed, on the couch.

These retaliatory behaviors all show that the cat has a strong heart and will analyze the pros and cons so as not to suffer losses.

On the contrary, look at those kittens who are usually silly, cheerful, clingy, and well-behaved. Even if they are "sold" by the shit shoveling officer, they still look silly and cute.

Although this well-behaved and obedient cat can make people more satisfied with raising a cat.

However, the pleasure of fighting wits with cats is much lower.
