I am asking why is your cat prefering something not
considered intelligent behavior...I am not asking does
your cat reason about his preferences.
Your answer "it evolves" explains nothing.
I think valuing shows intelligence...you don't. We
disagree. You have shown nothing to me that your
assumptions are more reasonable.
If this is all you really have to offer don't bother
responding it goes nowhere...why not go for a walk on
the road instead.
