Anybody noticed a correlation between intelligence & aggression? Killer whales; I've heard that they tie apes for the second smartest animal, and are also the only animals (other than people) known to kill for the pleasure of it. Apes; frequently maul eachother, and people. It seems the smarter breeds of dogs are also the ones known for aggression. And of course people, the most aggressive. Seems that the only species which are totally docile are also the stupidest.
this thought was brought about by observing my mother's cat. It is the smartest cat I have seen, and also the most ill tempered. It has a personality, really. If you do something to anger it, it will not forget; it will stay mad at you. it will sit across the room and scowl at you for hours. If you then take your shoes off, it will wait until you turn your back or leave the room, and then go and take a #2 on your shoes. It displays obvious hatred and vengence; I've never seen anything like it in an animal.
