Cats are natural predators, and this requires them to be able to think about hunting and catching their prey in order to survive. Being small animals they must also always be on guard against larger predators too.

While I don't think most cats are smarter than a 5th Grader, they are still pretty clever creatures.

They are smart because they know better than to pollute the environment and do all the stupid things we do, and also they know how to manipulate us better than dogs do. They can also survive better in the wild than most dogs.

Dogs are smarter than cats you fool?

While dogs are smarter than cats in many ways, cats also have their smart points too. Dogs are smart at working in groups, but cats are smart in working as an individual. Dogs also tend to be easier to train with tricks, but cats are also less picky, and are smart enough to be outside on the street alone. There is no proper judgment of the smartness of dogs and cats contrasted.

Are Irish cats smart?

All cats are very smart, much smarter than dogs. It doesn't matter where a cat comes from for it to be smart. If you were to leave a cat, that cat would rely on nature, catching it's own food. A dog, on the other hand, would be likely to starve or make itself sick by eating decaying food... Yes, so Irish cats are smart, by rights.
