    Yes they can

    be trained to do tricks as stubborn and independent as they are. I love them all.
    I suppose Pompuzi will flag this post also.

    Pomtzu only flags inappropriate posts. This one is fine.

    Loved all of these! The Bengal is gorgeous. The cat that rolled over cracked me up.

    I interviewd an author of a Cat Behavior book, and she said most of the problem with training cats is people have much shorter attention spans and give up faster. A cat in the wild will sit for hours watching a mouse hole, a human gets impatient and bored!

    I can believe that. Mr. Spunky will play on an off for 30 minutes while I'll get bored within a few minutes. I've improved and we have several small sessions of more than a few minutes.

    I have to admit as I've matured that I enjoy watching my cats play silly games like Turbo Toy or Laser Bug chase.

    Why ever would you say that about Pom? If she flagged a post of yours, she found it offensive. That is her right.

    Build a bridge, and get over it.

    It's the mentality and maturity of an 82 year old "man (?)" speaking, Jo. Oops - did I reveal the true identity of this individual??? I guess the cat's out of the bag - OLD GEEZER.
