Allowing themselves to be trained is not a cat’s mission. They are too intelligent to allow that nonsense.

But when it’s a matter of survival in the wilderness, I think cats do better in the great outdoors than dogs or humans. We had a feral cat who was excellent at hunting rabbits — then we domesticated her so there was no need.

Cats are the zen masters of the animal race.

As I mentioned, cats have great variety as individuals. While most won’t give a hoot about being trained, we had an exceptional individual who performed amazingly. The other poster who made a great generalization about cats being untrainable based on her experience with one cat will miss out completely if she ever has a highly intelligent cat, due to preconceived bias.
