Trained cats?

I was wondering if anyone has trained thier cat to do something besides go potty in their litter box? :D
I know many people think cats are not trainable, but I know better. My cat is not trained....well, maybe that's not true. He knows how to wake me up so I will feed him. hee hee

So if you have trained your cat to do something, please share what and how you trained them.

Nope, but all my cats HAVE trained ME! I know almost exactly what they want when they start making demands: Food, food, and MORE FOOD! Ha ha.

Princess
Comes when someone whistles for her
Walks on a leash
Stands on her hind legs for a treat

Duchess
Comes when someone whistles for her
Sometimes stands for a treat

;) Of course the girls have me trained.. :D Oh you meant are the girls trained.. Sure at eating, sleeping, purring, furrballs, wanting bellie rubbss, meowmomie cleaning up after them & anything else they want to do.. ;) ;)

My cats are sort of trained. They know how to sit, come when called, and stand.

Cocoa Kitty is a very good boy! He sits, stands, turns in a circle on command, stays, comes when I call him (most of the time)and walks on a leash. I think he enjoys the challenge, extra attention, and occasional treats. I would teach him even more things if I could think of them!

Vixen comes when called, speaks when spoken to, walks on a leash, and stays (usually).

But the list of things she has me trained to do is much much larger. :p

My cats are trained! :)
Angel can open a door and stand on two feet!
Snow can sit, stay, come when called and open a door!
Mickey can give high fives, sit and come when called!

Wow!! This is soo cool to see so many trained cats. However, no one shared how they got their cats to do these things. I would assume you would do it along the same lines as a dog. But could someone share with us, in case anyone else would like to try with their kitty??

Other than knowing their names, No :p

Spot will sit on command. He also knows high five. I can also hold out the palm of my hand and say Paw, Nose, or Head, and he will touch whatever I called to the palm of my hand. Might be time for an appearance on Stupid Pet Tricks. ;)

leo comes when called when somebody says ferrets he goes to the door knowing we are going to check the ferrets and stands on his hind legs for a treat or ham


kimi know's how to rest when told thats all she knows she never stops doing it he he :D


eddie speaks when spoken to he can say yeeeees nooooooo!! and milk!!!

and of course they have me trained!!!

Sometimes, if I say "kiss, kiss" my cat will lick my hand. If we say "You want some foo foo?" he knows we're asking if he's hungry. Also, my dad's taught him "look at the birdie" and "look at the kitty" whenever he says it, Gin looks out the window all over to find what we see. He also knows what "outside" means. I guess he's pretty smart heheheh.

And I have seen a cat walk on a leash, very surprising...my cat HATES leashes and collars.

Yeah I've taught Leo tricks.. I just used the same methods as with dogs (which basically means treats.. Can't really get a cat excited on just praise).
So far he will sit, lay down and lift his paw on command. I am working on "flip" which means he turns around in a circle.. So far it has been going well. :)

It does take longer to train a cat.. and it takes a whole lot more patience.. and I doubt I would be able to train any other cat besides Leo.
Leo is very dog-like in behaviour. He has always been around dogs and copies their behaviour quite a lot.
