What is known regarding cat brains?

A typical cat's brain measures around 5 cm (2 in) length and weighs 5-30

g (0.88-1.06 oz). Although a cat's brain is smaller than a dog's or a

human's, both objectively and in terms of body mass, a cat's brain nonetheless

shares many similarities with the human brain in terms of structure. The 

relative surface area of cat brains is increased by intricate surface folding

patterns, just like in humans. This greater surface area is believed to

enhance cognition (complex reasoning) and general brain function.
