When you think of the word ''OBEDIENT'', all manner of examples come to mind. But it's a SAFE BET that NONE of those examples INCLUDE the word ''cat.''.
But take heart, because there are indeed some breeds of cat that can be considered obedient. Even trainable. Probably not "Timmy's-Down-the-Well-Go-Get-Help, Lassie" trainable, but with cats, you've got to take whatever small victories you can get.
According to VetStreet's Dr. Marty Becker, there are a few breeds, that are more amenable than others to behavior modification. The good doctor cautions us, however, that "some breeds or individuals are definitely more willing to learn – and show off their talents — than others." Think about that before you ask Mr. Fluffernutter to perform a medley from Phantom of the Opera.
First on the list is the Abyssinian, described as "highly acrobatic" and one which "excels at learning tricks." (Probably like "hiding Daddy's insulin and watching from on top of a bookcase.") PetCentral adds that the attention they get from learning games and tricks makes them happy, calm and focused, so it's really a win-win.
