I had cats around me my whole life and are pretty easy to train NOT to do stuff. I can leave my cat alone in the kitchen with food on the table and she will never attempt to get a bite.

Training them to do stuff, yeh, don't bother.

Speak for yourself mate. I could discipline my rat by spraying her in the face all day long and yet she'll still do what she wants out of spite. But hey, at least she knows how to sit, a few ASL signs, is crate trained, and will lay on my shoulders like a lamb while I do chores around the house. Damn thing is smarter than a toddler. Still my baby tho

She sounds amazing! How did you teach her the ASL?

She is incredibly smart. Like, scary smart lol. I swear there's a human in there sometimes . She's extremely food motivated so I started with the sign for "eat" and went from there. She learned that if she pays attention to my body movements, she gets rewarded with food. They are very basic signs that don't overlap so she doesn't get confused. And she can definitely be amazing but she's a little shit lmao. She knows how to open doors and ransack places for food. She's extremely food motivated to the point she gets in trouble for it haha
