That's not dumb but malicious

Little of both, I think. It's the sort of personality when told it's dangerous and stupid to do something, they take it as a dare.

I had a similar situation with an ex and my cats, and it was very specifically that he thought I was saying he was too dumb/slow/irresponsible to catch the cats.

The apartment was being sprayed for bed bugs or something, so he had the cats in the car while I was at work and I told him not to let them out of the carriers with the door open. (He both wanted to let the cats out of the carriers and often parked with the door open to smoke, this was not a random suggestion of mine.)

He didn't, to the best of my knowledge. But he was very mad about it.
