It is a question that for centuries dog lovers and cat lovers have fought over like, well, cats and dogs: which animal is more intelligent?

But a study of 49 domestic cats showed that the creatures were also able to remember which bowl they had already eaten out of and which remained untouched, after a 15-minute interval.

The tests further showed that cats, like dogs, were able to respond to human gestures, facial expressions and emotions.

"An interesting speculation is that they may enjoy actively recalling memories of their experience like humans," Saho Takagi, a psychologist at Kyoto University, told the BBC.
