Animals aren't stupid, they just don't have everything humans do. They can understand intent sometimes. The real unusual thing is how the cat cared. Most would probably understand the assignment, but choose to see how far things would go.
Animals are definitely smarter than many people give them credit for. I'm reminded of how my old dog had to really pee one time when I was sleeping. She woke me up in the gentlest way, with licks to my arms. Considering that she could have barked or pawed at me instead (as she did to my dad sometimes when she needed to pee at night. He's a very deep sleeper), she seemed to have thought through her options to choose a method that wouldn't have startled me awake.
Smart little pup, I miss her.
If she needs to go out at night, my pup will come up to the top of the bed and patiently tap her paw on my pillow until I wake up. It always works, even when I really don't want to be awake.
"I don't know what's happening but I don't like it. Please fix it. You fix things."
Being included was fun enough to care, I suspect.
