There is something really amusing about how Percy (the cat) attempts to bribe me with cuddles in order to get food. It never works, the cats food is via an auto-feeder with a timer. But he tries anyway. Makes me wonder...does this cat have a theory of the mind?

My theory is that it's not theory of mind by the individual cat but selection over generations for particular behavior. Cats that are friendly toward humans, on balance, have more offspring. (Or did before we started fixing them.)

The thing is, Percy isn't generally friendly - he's friendly when he wants something. Very willful, wants-what-wants cat. But who knows.
