I think people assume you can't train a cat because cats don't respond to punishment the way a dog will.  "No!" means jack-shit to a cat.

A cat could not care less about you being mad at it.  A dog will feel that emotion and (typically) respond to it by changing its behavior the way you want them to.

The cat needs to be trained through rewarding behavior you want, and *ignoring* behavior you don't.  If you punish a cat by yelling at it or whatever, it will basically do the whole "oh, so you don't like *this*???" bullshit because cats are dicks.

Source: have cat.  She is an asshole but I've gotten her to stop doing certain things using treats when she does what I want her to.

They do have some understanding of that, contrary to popular belief
