    Well, wonderful to know about the breeds. But, alas, I am a Tuxie and I was told that I was one of the most intelligent. Maybe my ears aren’t right…The Scottish Fold looks like a cousin.

    I have an aby and he is the most wonderful cat. He is the smartest and most loveable boy. He will get bored of I do not regularly buy and rotate his toys. He has a very large toybox full of toys but I leave it open so he can access any of them. As you can imagine I have toys all over my house. Be prepared to play fetch at OMG in the morning as well. You learn to do it in your sleep Hahaha. They are the best cats ever though and absolute clowns. You will have your personal shadow.

      Aby is such an intelligent cat. Give him puzzle toys and challenge his brain. If he solves out the puzzle then don’t forget to treat him. You also give him some normal stuff as like empty packet, ball. I’m sure that your curious boy also busy with this simple stuff and enjoy his playing moment. Sometimes take him with you in outdoor. This will increase his happiness.

      Havana Brown is such a intelligent cat. They like to spend time with his owner and love to play with different toys. So we have no doubt about their intelligence. But here we only list out the top 8 Most Intelligent Cat Breeds and our study said that these 8 breeds are more intelligent than Havana Brown. If we list out the top 9 or 10 most intelligent cat breeds then Havana Brown is in the number 9th or 10th position. Have you any Havana Brown cat??

    I have a Tuxie. She would run down the hall beside me from the time that we found her to go to her food & water & litter box. She has been running & playing fetch since she was about 2 or 3 months old. She runs behind me & ways her tail. She is definitely a dog in a cats body. She runs to the door when quest come by. Or if I leave she will be at the window waiting for me. She loves to cuddle & sleep on my lap also. She’s definitely a love bug.

    I have 2 Bengal cats and yes most of what you said is very true. The only thing I disagree is that Bengals are not good indoor cats. My cats live the indoors. And where I live if you leave these cats outside. Either they will get hit by a car or more likely someone will just steal them because they are so beautiful.

      Thank You Danelle. I agree with you that there are many risk in outside world. But the curious Bengals like to explore the outside world and love to play in garden, field with the family members and other pets. They also love to walk and travel. That’s why i said that Bengals are not good for the indoor-only home. If possible then take your Bengals outside this will make them happy.

    I loved the article but I am curious about the Bengal picture because it appeared to me to be an Egyptian Mau.

      Thank You, Tammy Paige. Bengal and Egyptian Mau are the totally different breed of cat. Though there has some similarity in their body color but their behavior, size, cost, temperament everything is different. You may visit our Bengal Cat Breed page, read the article and there you find many images of Bengal cat. I think after visiting our Bengal Cat Breed page your confusion will finish.

    Yes, I completely agree with your list. These are highly intelligent breeds, but also require high maintenance… If they have everything they need – they will be the best companions ever.

    I’ve had 4 Domestic Bengals. They (and probably Savannahs) have some wild genes.So they tend to wander when outside. For this reason it is wise to keep them in.

      Thank You, Jeanna. The Bengal cat is a hybrid of the Asian leopard cat and the domestic cat. So by born, they have some wild activities. They show these wild activities both indoor and outdoor. So, train your Bengal properly. Good training will help them to reduce these wild activities. Another thing you have to know that the Bengals are very curious and always try to explore his surrounding. So, don’t think about this, frequently keep them outside this will make them happy. You can use a leash when they visit outside.
