Not likely, you will have better luck teaching them when they are young and eager, however, with the right treat you might be able to get some basic tricks.
you can't teach an old man new tricks
How about silly pet tricks?
I named that stubborn old mule "Number Seven" for a reason!The stubborn donkey would not budge.
The Mule has a reputation for being stubborn, hence the saying "Stubborn as a mule"
They are about 17-19 years old, but some stubborn cats might live till 25
well that depends on what age it really is. If it is an old cat then it is normal for a cat to be restless. You could pet it, give it toys, make the cat happy, or maybe feed it different food. But if the cat is young, then you have to make an effort to bond with the cat or if you are doing as much as you could do to make it happy and stuff, but the cat would just stay the same old boring self, then you maybe need to take it to the doctors.
There is a reason why they don't feel you should have a cat. Find out why. Start to act responsible around the house. Show that you can/could take care of cat. Don't argue with them about this or throw a temper tantrum. That will show you aren't old enough to take care of a cat. Use a "I message" I feel that I could take care of a cat because.........
The ansfer is Mule"Stubborn as a mule" An old saying =)- Gothikah, chessie and bay server
A 6 year old cat is not an old cat so it is not age that plays a factor. If your cat is vomiting a lot, make sure it's food is not old and is the right amount. If thins is fine, make sure it is getting enough hydration and nutrition. Take your cat to the veterinarian to make sure your cat is fine. Vomiting can be because of an upset stomach, which passes by most of the time. Just to be sure, take your cat to the vet.
Cats' are generally very stubborn, so if your old cat 'doesn't like'/'is scared of' your new cat, then there is very little hope of them becoming pally with each other. If you're lucky they'll avoid each other, otherwise, it's time to pick a favourite, and let the runner-up sleep outside, or their fighting could lead to hefty vet bills. :/ Sorry.

It means you cannot teach an old dog new tricks.
