Roxie will move the decorative pillows on our couch to hide her bone (or Kong or other precious treat) behind them, push them down in the couch crevice, then replace the pillow so it looks like nothing happened. I'm serious. One day I came home from work and looked everywhere for her Kong. Lo and behold, it was behind a pillow.
She also has an uncanny knack of knowing exactly when we are going to be taking her for a walk, even if we do nothing differently. She gets so excited about going that she starts sprinting around the house barking.

When Winston was a puppy I got a little (lot) into the Xbox game LA Noir. I had the summer off work and I played an embarrassing amount. I'm sure it's a total coincidence but on two separate occasions he turned the xBox off with his nose and sat down in front of me. It's the fact that he managed it a second time that makes me wonder if he's a genius.
Wallace the cat refuses to drink water out of his own bowl. He figured out how to work the faucet at my bathroom sink. I couldn't figure out why the water was running at 6am a few nights in a row. I can't leave my bathroom door open because of this.
Lucy knows her name and sit. Not bad for a cat we adopted at 9 y/o and has had an ear canal removed. Louis is just a moron kitty. He eats plastic bags.
Growing up I had a cat that could open the refrigerator door. He liked dragging the lunch meat out. Mom finally had to add a latch to the door to keep him out.
like, one day he showed up next to me with my flip flop. I was like....cool, thanks. Then he went and got the other one. Then he went and stood by the door.
He has 25 stuffed animals all with different names and he knows who they all are
He can count. LOL. If you say one, he barks once. Two, twice, Three, thrice.
If you say I-L-L he barks BARK BARK BARK in response
But he's Twy Sentwa because we don't have him in after school dog lessons. He's never been to obedience school. He's just GIFTED.

We have two dogs - if the dumb one (boy) is playing with a toy that the smart one (girl) wants, she will go to the front door and start barking like a maniac. When he comes running thinking that something is going on, she will run back and steal the toy. It's hilarious and evil.

My dog tells me when he's ready to go to bed for the night. He'll keep looking at the couch hoping against hope I'll lay down, so he can lay on me. Lately, he's taken to sitting next to me while I'm on the laptop and putting his head on my knee, and forcing me to pet him. If I stop, he tries to get me to keep going by nudging his head against my hand.
If I hold his pajamas up, he'll run over and stick his head through the neck hole.
Even if I think I've found and thrown out all the paper in my purse, he can find the one receipt I forgot and shred it for me. We call it the hound identity protection service.
Lillie knows right and left paw. When she's sitting on her couch (shut up), I'll go "Lillie.....left paw!" and hold out my hand and she'll give me her left paw. Totally adorable

My cat is pretty smart. She seriously sucks up to and favors my H (probably because he is more likely to give her extra food or feed her treats). If she is alone with me she is very lovey but soon as he is around she wants nothing to do with me. If we are in bed and he is asleep she will come cuddle with me. If he by chance starts to wake up she will bolt before he can see her with me...it's hilarious.
She also can tell when I am trying to take a picture of her with my phone and runs, no matter how stealth I try to be. Pain in the ass.
She is an awesome bug killer though...so there is that.

Annie has a doughnut shaped toy that we've had to repurchase several times because she insists on dissecting it. It's really quite impressive, she opens it, takes out the squeaker, takes out the filling and then she somehow turns this small toy completely inside out. So the inside is now on the outside. Every. Time.
Malcolm can find anything. Anywhere anytime. He likes to nab toys that Lucy wants because he wants her to chase. Lucy is lazy so she will lay and look bored. When he gives up, she steals his bone and runs away with it.
Milo often gets his toy stuck under the furniture and will remember where it is weeks later if you mention it. Popcorn is his favourite, and he seems to know even when I'm thinking of making it.
