How intelligent is the average Maine Coon?
No-one knows for sure. In 1985 the U.S. Government tried to determine the breed’s intelligence by giving a Maine Coon an I.Q. test. The test was set so that a score of 70% would place a human in the top 1% of the population. The cat looked through the paper for less than a minute then walked out of the exam room declaring that the test had been “devised by a bunch of retards”.
