I agree that cats could probably be trained at least somewhat, if we put more effort into trying to train them.
The only one that I ever had that learned to do something was a big white tomcat that we had back when the kids were little. His name was El Cid, and he had an awesome long white coat; so I think he was probably part persian.
He always sat by the dinner table when we ate, and tried to get us to give him a bite of food. When we would hold the food up in front of him, he soon learned to sit up for his treat.
One night my mother & father-in-law came over for dinner.
I told the kids to be sure that Cid was locked in the bedroom because Grandad notoriously didn't like any animals in the house at all, let alone the dinner table.
Well, of course, the door didn't get properly shut, and during dinner, out strolled the cat.
He walked tight over to Grandad, sat down, and then did the prettiest sit-up you have ever seen.
Everyone at the table was holding their breath ! ! My father-in-law just stared at that cat for at least a full minute.
Then, he gently took a bite of roast beef off of his plate, leaned over, and fed it to El Cid......
