Any cat trained properly will do what you want them too.

Cats just have to be taught that YOU are dominant from a very young age. You do this by holding them belly up in a cradle type position from the time they are a small kitten. If you do this they will display nearly all the traits that dog owners love about their pets, and nearly none of the negative traits associated with cats.

I got my orange persian Titus as a lost pet/shelter kitten at 4 months, and he has always loved to be cradled belly up-he follows me around and loudly demands that I do that as soon as I get home from work-but unlike my dog, or the Midget, he will not come when called...

This may serve as a potential business. There are dog-training services, why not cat-training services?

I would agree with that more than what the posted article wants to tell us, but I'm not sure that holding them from the belly up from the time they are small kittens is the whole secret of cat training.

It's been known for a long time that cats are quite trainable in terms of following human commands. You can see that in old films as far back as the 1930s where cats are obviously doing exactly as they are told as the camera zooms in on them. I'd assume that a very skillful (and well paid) human trainer was required to get the cat to do what was supposed to be done, but the point is that certain cats are capable of being "movie stars" with professional human assistance.
