I've had cats and dogs my entire life. and, yes, cats can be trained (sorta, kinda). They don't seem to mind being trained to do tricks but good luck on training them to do something they don't want to do or, worse yet, stopping them from doing something they truly enjoy. I have yet to find a cat that doesn't jump on counters and tables. You can chase them off 5,000 times. They'll jump right back up when they feel like it. My cats are pretty good and jump up rarely when I'm around. However, I was pretty used to seeing kitty paw prints on my black marble dining room table when I came home. They NEVER dared jump on it when I was home.
