A few minutes ago I heard a science reporter on NPR say something to the effect that it is difficult to get a cat to do what you want them to. This is true. This is also not the point of cats.
If you want to do “cat” properly… take joy in cats doing what cats do. Not in trying to get them to do what *you* want them to do. If you want a critter that does what *you* want, get a dog.
If a cat does what you want… great! If a cat does something you don’t want, adjust your goals.
