I have two small dogs that LOVE cat poop. Does a dog proof litter box exist? Any tips to keeping them out of there? I'm so sick of baby gates.
They have litter boxes that the cat enters through the top and also furniture looking boxes that go over the litter box. That may help. I don't know what kind of dog you have.

Judging any animal's level of intelligence is based on their trainability. It's the speed of learning and recall of that task that is used as a marker.
Before asking a cat to jump through a hoop, fetch Dad's slippers, or write a test for feline MENSA...
Smart Genes Help but Environment is Key Attributes such as curiousity and sociability are gained from genetics and environment. A cat who originates from lines that include these characteristics, and a cat who lives in a healthy, happy, stimulating home, will be capable of scoring high trainability points. It is trainability that leads the cat to excel at commonly-used intelligence tests.
Even the brightest kitten from the best gene pool can't be expected to excel in intelligence if his home life doesn't provide an encouraging environment. Environment is key.
Trainability is Revealed through ObservationThe only way to judge a cat's trainability is to spend time with it. Watch how it relates to people, other animals, and items in its environment. A curious and outgoing cat who can focus on one toy or one game or one individual for an extended period of time will probably be the best candidate.
An affectionate cat can be a good indication, too. A cat who feels secure and bonded with a human is more willing to "let his hair down" and try new things, knowing that the human has only his best interests at heart.
Determining a Cat's Level of Intelligence Depends on the Definition of the WordJudging a cat's I.Q. is very subjective. Just about any dog can be trained to successfully navigate a maze, for instance, with food treats as a reward. A cat, on the other hand, would likely enter the maze, sniff a few corners, then sit down and start washing.
Is this a smart dog and a stupid cat? As animal behaviourists note, dogs and cats view their worlds in entirely different ways. While some people see that cat as dim-witted because she couldn't find her way out of the maze, others see the same cat as a bright star - she saw the maze as another example of human folly and was smart enough to refuse to play the game.
