LOLOLOL!! Cats are natural-born human behavioral specialists. I watched one methodically, patiently, firmly train a human with an IQ in the high 140s, to her preferred feeding time (morning) and as well when to remove himself from his studio for (actually smart and healthy) work breaks in the afternoon (so she could have his seat for a beauty nap).
It was the most amazing thing to observe!

I was able to train my smartest cat to do tricks only after realizing I had to look at it from the point of view that she was training me to give her treats. I couldn’t use conventional dog methods (other than using a clicker to show her which behavior got me to give the treats.
Not to brag, but this one cat is so smart that i ran out of tricks to learn and started teaching her colors. Until I learned that cats are colorblind. If I was a better trainer, there is probably no limit to what she could learn.
