You do not know cats very well. They exhibit an extraordinarily diverse range of behaviours, interests, and intelligence. I've had cats who were brilliant hunters and dumb as posts; I've also had cats who were wholly disinterested in hunting but showed considerable intelligence in terms of puzzle solving. And most cats I've known have been clearly motivated by social interaction as an end in itself. They put a lot of thought into this.

As someone who has owned many cats in the last 50 years - I stand by my statement.

I still love them though.

In my experience they understand a lot more than we expect of them. However most of the time they do not care and that makes them seem dumb.
