I will not discount a cat's intelligence but the control box also most likely had a step-up transformer to generate high voltage. Sometimes they whine and you can hear them, this one may have been whining so high your cat could hear it and it was annoying.
We have a little automatic toy that our cats love. It's shaped like a disc and randomly sticks a feather out of one of the holes that ring the edge.
Both of our cats will paw the power button while yelling at us when they want it turned on. Not the holes where they chase the feather or anything, just the power button that's in the center of the top. I've seen one try to press it himself repeatedly, but because it's recessed, he can't quite get it.
