Give your cat treats when he/she does something right and completely ignore them when he/she does something bad, or remove them from the room for a while.
An example to give your cat a treat would be when he/she is being gentle, or responds to your voice in a positive way. A reason to ignore your cat is when the cat bites, or is playing too roughly. Cats love attention and will learn that certain behaviours will get it ignored, so have much less incentive to do these things, and will behave in ways that it knows will get it attention. If a cat is in a place it shouldn't be, simply remove them from the room, or if they respond well to their name, call them and give them a treat for responding.

It is very hard to but you can train them to do simple procedures such as going to the restroom in a specialized area, eat, and scratch at certain areas. But no true tricks!Another View on Training Cats
The 1st answer is not completely wrong but it is not correct, either. It's a very common notion about cats.
Cats can be trained to do many things. They do not take to training the way some breeds of dog do, but that does not mean they cannot be trained. Cats can learn to fetch, do tricks and follow commands. Cats do not respond well to strong arm tactics or force (no animal does, but some are more tolerant of force than cats). The way to train a cat is by consistent repetition and positive reinforcement. Some cats will enjoy learning new games and commands while others will not be as interested. It is up to the trainer to make learning fun and keep it interesting. Cats do best if they see that there is real benefit to them for doing the requested task. They are intelligent animals and do not appreciate being asked to do the same task repeatedly (once it's been learned) -- they will realize there is no point and tend to walk away.

Domestic companions always been a part of our life. Weither your a cat person or a dog person, you'll always find a companion that fits you just right. But what if that companion were to developp bad habits? You would keep on loving him, of course, but it would add unnecessary pressure to your life.

Have a good day!
What to do then? Don't worry, here's a list of tips and tricks that will help you rectify your companion behaviour.
-
Be calm & gentle. Cats and dogs are litterally copycat of your own behaviour.
-
Be present. Some behaviours are a result of too much solitude.
-
Make good things happens. Reward them. If you ground them when they have a bad behaviour you also have to cheer them when they have a good one.
-
Give them affection. Your companion doesn't need to be loved and petted 24h/7, but when he does, don't ignore it. In most case, you are his/her everything.
-
Teach your companion commands and tricks.
-
Talk to your companion.
-
Gently and gradually accustom your companion.
-
Cuddles are wonderful, but make time for playtime too. Your companion needs some stimulation everyday. If you go depressive after a week without sport, then so does your companion.
-
Reward your pet's attention.
-
If your cat is extremely shy or scared, go slow. This one's self explanatory. Go at his rythm.
-

What is the best way to train an adult cat?
The best way to train an adult cat is with operant conditioning. When you see your cat doing what you want it to do or see it doing something that is close to what you want to see it do, reward it with food. This is called positive reinforcement. When your cat does something you don't want it to do offer negative reinforcement (squirt it with a water pistol). After a while your cat's behavior will be molded to that which you want it to have.
How do you train your cat to stop using the litter tray?
How odd. Most people want to train their cats to use the litter tray, not to train them to stop using it. If you don't want your cat to use the litter tray, that's easy; remove the tray. If the tray is not there, the cat cannot use it. Move the litter tray outdoors to get your cat used to going outside and then, eventually, remove the litter tray completely.

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!

Why train a cat?
I'm going to assume your question is: "why should you train your cat?" Well, a lot of people think that you can't train a cat, and that if you want to have a pet you can train, you should get a dog. That is absolutely incorrect! It is true that, with some cats, it is very difficult to get them to do what you want, but with hard work and perseverance, you can get a cat or a dog to perform a certain trick.I admit that some cat are simply just stubborn, but in most cases--if there's enough of a reward once the trick has been performed--the cat will be happy to do what you tell it to do. As long as you don't get frustrated or angry--which will have the opposite effect--you will have a trained cat before you know it!
