Cats are relatively naive and in the instinctive attraction of attacking anything that moves, simply have no concept the danger that they face. I don't want to post them but the internet has a lot of cat fails where they become a meal. You can't get many animals who will chase a flashlight beam.
I was going to say the same thing. Those are unusual situations. Maybe those beasts prefer chicken over cat meat.
Actually, scientists have proven that cats are more intelligent than dogs.
A dog's brain fires about 200,000 neurons. A cat's brain? 300,000 neurons.
Cats are survivors (dog's will just die if left to their own devices, not cats) and they are a good judge of character.
The cat in the video knew exactly how to defeat that crocodile. It never took its eyes off of it, it moved when the croc moved, and it stayed out of reach of the croc.
Dogs are generally more intelligent than cats. Their brains are usually larger, and they need to have some fairly advanced social skills to live with their pack, be they dogs or humans. They have larger vocabularies, etc. Without a pack though, an individual dog would have a lot of social issues with being lost. However, when need be, they can lead some fairly advanced problem solving. Eg when a seeing eye dog is navigating on behalf of their blind partner; I've seen some amazing and humorous stories out of blind people about their dogs and the puzzles they figure out.
Cats have more neurons in a very specific part of the brain, the cerebral cortex. It is believed that gives cats some specific wins, like memory. They are much more independent, of course. Perhaps Tom Cruise could take one to Vegas to count cards if he had some cat treats.
I have a dog and two cats and they are equally intelligent in their own ways. You cannot compare them. I have the Burmese breed of cat which are known for their dog like qualities of affection, devotion and loyalty and they are like velcro cats. My dog is super intelligent as are my cats and they all own me and know it. The cats stand on top of me as does the dog lie on top of me. I am putty in their hands.
