Dogs are not "smarter" than cats. It's very hard to compare intelligence cross-species, but to the extent it can be done, they're of roughly equal intelligence. Dogs are better at some things and cats are better at others.

Are dogs smarter then humans and cats?
Yes and no. Dogs have larger brains in proportion to their body weight than cats, and are apparently smarter, as they are more trainable. Cats' independence is often mistaken for intelligence, but they do seem to have less capability to learn. Humans have much larger brains than dogs relative to their body weight, and are capable of abstract thought, and of planning for the future, something dogs are not. It is the fact that humans are so smart that has led them to make so many problems for themselves...

Are dogs or cats more intelligent?
Actually, I think they're both smart in their own right. My cat is barely over 1 year old and he commands the dog. I've even seen my dog flip over and show his belly to my cat! And also, my dog has a weird way of breaking into the kitchen and stealing things that we never notice until a few weeks later. So its a hard question. Going on brain size in relation to brain stem size, then the answer may be "yes". Dogs are also pack animals which are more advanced in terms of sociological evolution. A cat is a supreme hunter, and most species do not require to be in a group to bring down prey. However, brain size relative to intelligence doesn't prove anything. A dog has a bran mass of about 72g and a cats is about 30g. However, a cat has more sensory cells that a dog.

How do cats and dogs differ?
As far as pet cats and dogs go, cats are pretty much 1 size whereas dogs come in a variety of sizes. Dogs also tend to be more loyal and get more attached to their "masters". Dogs have to be trained to hunt whereas it just is instinct to cats. Cats purr and meow, dogs bark and wag their tail when they're excited or happy. Cats can be taught tricks but it is easier to train dogs. I think cats are more easily amused too (ex. give em a box or loose wrapping paper and they'll be good for a while).
Are dogs cleaver the cats?
Assuming you mean "are dogs cleverer than cats", the answer is difficult. Dogs seem to be more intelligent than cats, but much of that intelligence is used for socialization skills, which cats don't need. So cats are cleverer at some things, like hunting, while dogs are cleverer at others, like getting along with people and dogs.
