At least for my cat, I would say he both is dumb but definitely also plays dumb when I try to get him to do things. Sure, it's fun to jump over the human's arm and get a treat after, but what's also fun is to watch the human crawl pathetically on the floor while he tries to adjust his arm to a good jumping height.
