Some cats are too smart.

I read a book, once, detailing various qualities a prospective pet owner might find in different breeds. The book was about dogs, but much of the advice could also apply to cats. The book discussed friendliness, being good with children, energy, intelligence, playfulness... and then it made a statement many pet owners can identify with. "You might think you want to maximize all of these qualities. Think again about intelligence."

Yeah. Think again about intelligence.

Also witness the border collie. Too much intelligence and you may as well try to keep a pet monkey. It is only by the grace of god that cats do not have opposable thumbs.
