This Cat Who Can Get His Own Water Is Definitely Smarter Than The Dog
By Margot HarrisNov. 18 2019, Updated 2:28 p.m. ET
Who says dogs are smarter than cats? This little furball is so independent and resourceful, she doesn't even have to wait for her owner to get water when she needs it. See the impressive kitty using her skills.
Cats, despite potentially being homicidal maniacs, are intelligent creatures. In fact, it's a little unsettling how smart they are. A few wrong turns, and we could be looking at a new (furry) regime.
The leader of this new movement? He's already Twitter famous.
Jenna Stoyanov, a 19-year-old college student in Austin, Texas likes tweeting photos and videos of her "ridiculous" cat, Milo.

While the family tried to teach the 9-month-old cat the same tricks they taught their older cat, Foster, but Milo had his own interests... Like fetch and hiding his collars.
"Milo is more interested in doing things his own way," Stoyanov told BuzzFeed News.
Milo certainly took matters into his own hands when he learned where water came from. Stoyanov tweeted the following photo of her furbaby taking some serious initiative.

She had a feeling that Milo's impressive feat would get some online response.
"I have actually tweeted a bunch of pictures of my cats, because I think they're precious and I love sharing them with people," she explained to BuzzFeed. "I kinda knew this one would be a hit, getting maybe as many as 50 likes."
...She got a few more than 50.
The photo has been retweeted nearly 70,000 times in just 3 days — it is pretty damn impressive, after all.
@jennastoya I can't stop laughing at this. Your cat is a genuis

People couldn't help make some comparisons.
@jennastoya @tastefactory My cat sits in the bathtub and meows. I guess she's just lazy.

@jennastoya what kind of country do we live in where a cat can figure this out yet our president can't figure out stairs?

TBH, the video is just indicative of what's to come.
@jennastoya @WarrenIsDead I wish the cats would just go ahead & begin their benevolent reign over us.

@jennastoya @jearle If cats had thumbs they'd take over in a week.

@jennastoya cats are truly destined to take over once humanity finally dies out!

It's time to brace ourselves for their reign. We might as well surrender now.
