I trained my cat Molly from the time she was 9 weeks old. I would put a hardness on her (DO NOT USE A COLLAR WITH LEASH AS CATS CAN GET OUT OF THIS) also make sure that the harness is not loose around the chest because the cat will try to get the harness off at first and they can hook their bottom teeth in the leash. Get a pet store to fit your cat with a proper harness. Take your cat out into the backyard (NEVER take your cat out where it's in too open a space or too much noise.) Wander around with the cat for approximately 5 minutes and do this for 3 - 4 days and each time you take them out go out for 10 - 15 minutes. I've seen many people travel (camping) with their cat on a leash and that's what my cat wears when we go camping and fishing.

It depends whether you mean cats, or kittens.

If you got a kitten you need to try to play with them all the time so they get used to humans and you. If they start to bite you they are just playing. If they really want to bite not like playing, back up and give them sometime. They can be your best friend just like a dog can be too.

Older cats can be stubborn. Don't use spray cans at all. If they are doing something wrong you say no in a stern voice not yelling but like how your mom says "what are you doing" kinda. Then after they do that lift them off whatever they are doing. If they are going to bite you use a glove on your hand so you can't feel them biting you. Hold them until they stop and pet them yo make them calm down. When they calm down you say "No don't do that" then put them down. pet them then leave. If they do it again do the same over. be gentle with both kittens and cats. do the same with kittens but do more gentle.

Pretty much just like dogs. Work with them on one thing at a time. I taught my cat to sit by adding pressure to her back end until she sat, saying "sit" the whole time. If you want to house train a cat, just make sure the litter box is where she can get to it easily. It is a cat's instinct to dig, so avoid leaving towels or sheets where your cat might go. If your cat does go inside take the waste (if possible) to the litter box, place it in the litter box, and then set you cat in the litter box so she can see it.

If your cat has never been outside the house, then they will prefer to stay in the house, but if they have been outside and always run to go out when you go to the door, then try giving them their food right before you need to go out, so that they are occupied when you get to the door.

you can also put your cat in through the window. this will make them stay inside and they will not think twice in going through the door

If you want your cat to be well trained, and follow your ways-yes. Some cats need to learn how to go over to the litter box and use it properly. You can train a cat and teach it how to do some tricks, but you don't necessarily train it exactly like how you train a dog.
