I think cats are smarter than we are.....
But they know what they have to do to get us to understand them...ie. meow when they want treats, walk across the newspaper when they want attention, etc.
And they definitely talk to each other....and wonder why we are so stupid that we can't understand them.... lol!

Cats do not think like humans do. In particular, they don't use language in the same way as humans.
Cats CAN communicate certains kinds of feelings and attitudes toward each other and even to humans, but they don't have verbal equivilants for these feelings. In other words, a cat can communicate fear by body posture and even vocalizations, but the cat does not think, "I am afraid and I must say it." The cat simply shows what ever it needs, and if successful, the cat will survive and go on.
If a cat is hungry it does not think, "I am hungry. I must find my human and tell it I am hungry so she will feed me." What the cat does, when hungry is what it learns to do: that if it goes to its owner and meows and rubs her legs, she will feet it.

I had a cat that would feed himself, I kept the food the cupboard and he would climb on the counter, open the door and then take the Tender Vittles and open the packets and eat them, the only thing was he did not clean up after himself, and if I put my mug of tea on the floor it was sure to be tipped over, I could have other beverages and he would leave them alone.
One other would know if I had anything to eat and hid it in my pocket, she would climb on my lap and sit looking into my eyes and would not move until I gave her some.
Mind of there own, I think they have a keen sence of instinict, and routine is something they have and a overly open sence of determination.

In my opinion, cats do have a mind of their own. But, they can tell when a human is sad and they, in their own way, attempt to comfort.
They have an extremely good memory, when you treat them really good or really bad, they do not forget. They also get revenge....my brother-in-law spanked their cat and when the spanker went to work, the cat peed on HIS pillow! Cats rule!!
Cats have different mews for different things. Momma cat has a certain call for her kittens to come to her. I can make the same sound and get cats to come to me. It really confuses them, too!
