Actually I had pretty well trained cats but then I had them both for a long, long time. I just refused to believe I couldn't train or condition them so I think they just gave up eventually and went along with me on certain issues like hunting other pets, climbing on my countertops or into baby furniture, letting me trim their claws back once winter came and they were not outside so much to wear them down, stuff like that.

Cats can learn, just not like dogs do. They don't have the "need to please" that most canines have...it's more of a "need to please myself" instinct LOL. With our cats and the dogs we've had over the years, I just conditioned them to completely believe I'm the most dominant critter in the house
