MGMT Page 76 Q 13 explanation

Is this sentence correct? : Our cat is cuter than the cats in the shelter?

Should n't it be : Our cat is cutest among the cats in the shelter.
*(Our cat doesn't live in the shelter, but are we not comparing more than two cats? Should n't we use "cutest" ?)

IMO, cuter and cutest, both are equally good if they go with the intention.

By intention I mean the degree of comparison and it has nothing to do with singular or plural.

Please correct incase wrong.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
