She said of all the animal actors they trained, the housecat was the hardest. They don’t do anything they don’t want to do and aren’t fooled by tricks and treats.

really? That’s funny. At one time I tried training my cats. I started by getting a cat training book on Amazon, they have thousands and thousands of dog training books and maybe three on cats. The one I picked said that once you get in the right frame of mind, and realizing that the cat is training you to give it treats, then you can figure out how to do it. Of the three cats I could only train one, one did not like treats at all and there definitely had to be a pay off. My mail is sweet but he was a little slow in picking it up, and he only learned about five things. But his sister who I wasn’t even going to train showed up and started learning everything. She had me trained to give her treats for lots of things in no time. At one point I was running out of things to teacher so I was going to teach her her colors. It didn’t go well. Then I finally figured out the cats are somewhat colorblind. So then we started to work on numbers. And that’s when she became allergic to almost everything that is processed so there went the treats. And of course without treats she wasn’t going to train me any longer.
