There are a lot of misconceptions about cats, but in actuality cats are as intelligent as dogs and perhaps even more so. However, they have a more independent nature that most cat owners readily recognize, relate to, and love. That said, with the right technique, you can teach your cat to sit, walk on a leash, etc. However, don't expect to train a cat like you would a dog. A good source of instruction to use when training your cat is Chapter 5 of "How To Get Your Cat to do What you Want," by Warren and Fay Eckstein.

Speaking from personal experience, I've trained my two kittens to sit up on their hind legs for their food. I did this by letting them first smell the plate of food. Then I raised the plate above their heads and asked them to "sit up." After only a couple of tries, they sat up. After this, I rewarded them with the plate of food. Believe me, it's not as difficult as you may think to train a cat. Always go with positive reinforcement.

actually there are a lot of things you can teach your cat how to sit lie down wave and lots more! you can find these answers and much more in Show Biz Tricks For Cats by Anne Gordon really they work!
