My cat boomer can do several tricks. He can sit, say, shake, roll over, play dead and walk like a human does the catwalk. It's very simple to teach them these steps if you have trained a dog, you can train a cat as cats learn the same way. Cats are a little harder, though. However, it really depends on your cat's personality in how many tricks you can train. Some cats never really take to learning tricks, while others will learn quite quickly.

I had one cat in the early 1990s that practically asked me to teach her tricks, she was a natural at it. It started one day when she was trying to open the kitchen cabinet where the cat food was kept, I opened the door got a can of cat food and she went in, I closed the door filled her dish with food, then after waiting several minutes I opened the door and she came out and ate. After that we spent the next couple years adding additional tricks until she knew almost 2 dozen, the best being jump through a hoop! All I had to do was pick up the hoop and hold it out at shoulder height and she would leap right through it.

If you are not so fortunate as to have a cat that almost naturally learns tricks, look into a technique called "clicker training".

Cats are more independent than dogs and thus usually harder to train to do tricks. However with a little effort many cats will learn to do tricks. Whether cats or dogs learn more tricks is usually more an issue of the patience of the human trainer, not the animal.

How do you communicate with kittens and cats?

Simple. Just talk to it as if it were your friend and in time, they will get used to your voice and may sometimes reply. Cats are just as obedient as dogs so it will respond to its name, and sometimes(if your patient enough) will learn tricks.
