Xander sits up, turns around, gives me five, gives me high five.
Andrew won't do tricks.

My cat used to do full body somersaults when he was happy.

One of my male cats have learned a trick or two by himself. He knows how to open the fridge, the freezer, the cupboard etc and find food, a true predator that one.  |

Jeice knows how to jump really high, and jump from high places.
Maybelline knows how to open cupboards. |

Shits in the bath for some unknown reason if I forget to shut the bathroom door.

Talks... Favorite words to exclaim loudly are "HEL-LO!!!" & "Well, DUH!!!" Lol
He also answers me when I ask him questions, & has a very extensive understanding of the word no.

It has the power of invisibility. Or maybe I don't have a cat.  |

Illy opens doors.
Most play fetch with wadded up newspaper pieces. I can get most to do a flip if I throw it right.
Illy & Thor know their names. They look right at me like "yeah, what?"

Has different meows for different things. If she comes into the kitchen, she tells me if she wants to go out the front door or the back door. Which are nowhere near the kitchen.
When she wants to come in and I have music on, she claws at the outside screen so I can hear it.
She sometimes goes up to the top of the chimney (20 ft up or so) and hangs out. She used to chase squirrels up trees to about that height, nearly caught them, and had no problems getting down.
She has claws but is very good at not using them inside except for on scratching pads.

I taught my cat to sit, stay, high-five, and fist bump. I've also taught him to walk on a harness like a dog, and I take him out walking on warm summer nights.
Training a cat is surprisingly easy if you use positive association and consistency. It took about 15 minutes a day for a week to get my cat to high-five on command. Cats won't tolerate long training sessions, so if you do maybe 5 minutes of training three times a day, and make sure you're consistent, you will have a high-fiving cat in no time.
I used a method created by Robert Dollwet, a professional dog trainer who also publishes cat training videos on Youtube under the name CatManToo. In one of the videos, Robert says he's cat-sitting for friends for about a week, and wants to have a whole repertoire of tricks fully trained by the time they got back from vacation and he returns their cat to them.
Needless to say I was skeptical, but I tried it and it worked beautifully. Again, the key is consistency -- you have to make sure you stick to doing three very short training sessions a day, and make sure you reward your cat for each session. It doesn't take long for a kitteh to figure out something like "Touch my paw to big buddy's hand, and I get a yummy snack!"
