Noisette was my first cat ever and I was raised with dogs, so when we got her, I told my husband that I would teach her to sit and do tricks... well, he comes from a cat family and he just tought that was the funniest thing he'd ever heard... the only thing he told me was "Good luck!!" Well about an hour of intense training, and with lots of cat treats and praising I tought her to sit. I must of repeated "sit" over a thousand times, but always with a soft voice and same tone. And now when I give her a treat or when we leave (she's an indoor cat, and of course very curious of the outside world) I tell her to sit and we can let the door as open as we want and I just have to look at her and say sit and she obeys.

I beleive it is possible to teach a cat to do tricks but with lots of love and patience and without ever raising your voice.
