      That is very difficult to answer, because we cannot simply ask a cat what it thinks and it is difficult to infer what they are imagining. Regarding the higher thinking capacity, cats are probably better adapted to do certain – I think most humans would be pretty rubbish at catching mice. However, humans do different things like coming up with new solutions to problems. So, by this standard, humans have a higher thinking capacity than cats.
