This kind of mirrors what I wife does with one of our cats. If she asks, "Out?", she knows the door will be opened for her.
There are three cats in our house. And when one wants to go out in the backyard, she will often scamper past me to the door as a signal that she wants me to open the door.
I think God put the intelligence in each animal, plant or inanimate thing as the situation required. In my view, even rocks have a primitive intelligence in them.
Cats were given superior hunting, jumping, climbing, and SLEEPING attributes! Love the dickens out of 'em...
