I'm a cat. Eat, sleep, play, repeat... No use for language, no use for rules. Do what I want when I want. Claw marks on your stuff? Tough, I'm a cat, deal with it. Eat, sleep, play.

Human IQ is measured against other humans and what they can do/learn. If the cat does what most cats do, then (if such a measurement were designed) the cat's IQ would be 100 (or the average of all cats)

So nope, sorry. x3

(Also have yet to have a cat that doesn't seem to have at least a basic grasp of rules. They IGNORE them sometimes, but it's very obvious based on multiple cues they KNOW it's against the rules. Some of the cats I've had even seem to game the rules, testing like a child would how far they can go before it's an issue and then using that when they try to do something in the future.

Most cats I've met period don't just claw things up too. Alex was kind of bad about it for a while, but Alex is more kitten than full grown cat mentally tbh. I love him, he's not completely dumb, but he's a bit behind his 'peers' in some areas. Bless him though, sweet as can be.

Cat's are pretty intelligent, from my experience anyway, by and large. They can learn how to do a surprising number of things. They also tend to not be very wise, and tend to be very individual, so you can't train them in a cookie cutter 'one size fits all' sort of way for many things. Besides basics like litter box, even then found ones that needed trained differently. x3)

Obviously screwed here, unless somehow 10 becomes good. x3
