In a inspirational video that has taken the internet by storm, a Border Collie demonstrates its intelligence in the most endearing way possible. Titled "Collies are smart as hell!", the video captures a seemingly mundane yet fascinating interaction between a dog and a cat, sparking a lively discussion among viewers.

The scene unfolds with the Border Collie seemingly showing a cat how to drink water. One user commented, "Aw 🧡 This is so sweet, you can rly see how it's thinking!" This sentiment is echoed by many who are captivated by the dog's thoughtful demeanor.

A debate ensues regarding the drinking habits of cats and dogs, with one user noting, "I think cats and dogs drink differently (from a physics perspective)." Another viewer questions the necessity of the lesson, posting, "This is super cute but why would a cat not know how to drink water?" This prompts a response suggesting that the animals are merely learning to share their space and resources: "If that cat didn't already know how to drink water it would be dead."

Some viewers humorously point out the cat's apparent disdain for the dog's presence. "Cat: ....You expect me to drink that after your dog tongue has touched it? .....Fine. If I must...." Others argue that the dog's actions are more about ensuring safety and comfort rather than teaching: "The dog is showing the cat it’s safe to drink water. Dogs really are the best people."

The intelligence of Border Collies is a recurring theme in the comments. One user remarks, "Generally animals know how to drink water instinctively. But Border Collies are brilliant. And this one is definitely onto something." Another adds, "So smart, I feel like dogs will be the next species to talk, and it'll be our 'fault' (not a bad thing)."

Despite some skepticism about the video's caption, with one user calling it "a load of horses***," the overwhelming consensus is that the interaction is both adorable and a testament to the intelligence of Border Collies. As one user succinctly puts it, "Beast friends are the best friends."

This video not only showcases the remarkable intelligence of Border Collies but also highlights the unique dynamics between different species. It's a touching reminder of how animals can communicate and coexist, often in ways that are both surprising and delightful.

Didn't teach him anything, the cat just waited for the dog to get out of their g*****n personal space before started drinking.

It is far more likely that these two animals are simply learning how to share their space and water for the first time. If that cat didn't already know how to drink water it would be dead.

That's not a kitten, nor does it look "newly rescued"
