Feline Intelligence: Stories Of Cats Outsmarting Hoomans From The ICanHas Community

Greetings, ICanHasers! How is everyone feeling this Hump Day? We're incredibly excited about this article because it features our favorite people ever… you guys! We recently asked our Facebook community if and how their cats have outsmarted them and the replies did not disappoint. 

We cat owners are well familiar with the concept of feline intelligence. Whether they're conning their way through breakfast or solving a puzzle that was meant for dogs - cats have it all; the brains and the looks. Okay, maybe don't quote us on that because let's be honest, not all cats are smart. Like the orange ones for example. We're kidding, orange cats, we absolutely love you and that one brain cell of yours. But anyway, some cats are incredibly smart… or at least when they need to be. When would they need to be smart you may wonder? Welp, when they need something from you; like food or a walk outside. So please enjoy this collection of stories from fellow ICanHasers sharing tales of their conniving cats.
