LOL!!

Yes, that surprises me too.

You can totally train a cat. Use the same techniques for training a dog. The basis of modern dog training (marker training) came from marine animal training, which was adapted to wolves and then marketed for dogs.

Cats can be stubborn, but I think the main reason people don't bother training cats (except for a small number of important things like counters being off limits) is that the consequences of an unruly dog are much more serious than an unruly cat. Also cats are usualy (and should be!) kept indoors and don't have to deal with random people outside.

Just think if people took the same attitude towards cat behavior if your average house cat weighed 50-60 pounds. Mountain lions weighing that much have killed hikers. There really is nothing you can do. Cats have 5 pointy ends while dogs only have one.

In my experience, only the smarter cats figure out reflections.

Mostly agreed.

Largely disagree. The technique is simple, but graphic. PM me if you're interested.

If we halt the ISS, all versions of Ares, and transport Orion and Altair aboard DIRECTv3's Jupiter family of Shuttle-Derived Launch Vehicles, we just might make it back to the Moon by 2020.
