I would doubt it, as they don't have the digestive system necessary to survive on pant-matter, but as my cat can attest, they can and do eat vegetation (like fruit), probably to supplement vitamins absent in meat.

While cat food manufacturers try to make people believe that cats need grains and other non-meat products, they need meat. The makers of cat food replace much of the meat with grain because it's cheaper. In an effort to compensate, they add large amounts of supplemental ingredients trying to approximate the nutritional value of a feline carnivore's diet. Also, cat food for pets has to be cooked and canned or packaged, hence the replacement of meat with more easily preserved protein, and added salts or sugars.
The natural diet of small cats, including domestic cats, includes but is not limited to meat proteins and fats from: birds, lizards, rodents and other small mammals, insects, snakes, and fish if they can get them.
Unlike cat food manufacturers, cats preserve the full nutritional value of their food by never cooking it.
Cats, big or small, wild or tame, are not vegetarians, nor is any animal. Vegetarianism is a human life choice that involves a decision. Cats are exclusively meat-eaters, a genetic predisposition or mandate that involves no decision.

How do you train a cat?
if you want to train a cat, you would do the same thing that you would do to train a dog, but you would need more patience, time, and persistence. dont give your cat the treat unless they did the right thing. if you give your cat the treat when it did the wrong behavior, then you are reinforcing that behavior that you didnt want them to do. so if you want to train a cat, you have to be patient.A cat (unlike a dog) is notorious for being impossible to train. Some cats may appear to be trainable (to a basic limit), but not if they don't want to do something! My wife once shouted at our cat, and for the rest of the day, the cat would turn her back on my wife!
