Hi there...both of my cats have learned the following trained behaviours using both verbal and visual cues: - sit - sit up - lay down - roll over - fetch - twirl - freeze position - wave - high-five - give nose and licky kisses - sit up and raise a paw to ask a question - jump through hoops - jump over hurdles - pat the human on the head to tell you "good person"- take apart a 3-D layered puzzle - balance on a basketball and walk slowly forward - jump onto shoulder from the floor - toilet trained and flush - walk on leash - agility training (like dog agility) -...a bunch more than I cannot remember However, my cats do have an advantage since I'm an animal trainer to exotic cats. Most people are unaware how much cats can learn which is just about anything if you understand the species and the techniques to train them effectively which doesn't involve any coersion.

oh, how i like to see a cat raising his paw to ask a question... its so cute.. so bad, our cat had not yet returned home since november last year.. i punished him for a misdeed.. maybe, my disciplinary action is not good.. i missed him already, having his paw in my foot.. is there a possibility that my cat will return home?

Oh no! I hope your kitty will come home soon. I sure hope he is somewhere safe with someone rather than roaming outside lost. That just breaks my hear to hear this--you have my sympathies.

Well, my cat learned a lot of things. He imitates some sounds I do with my voice :D He's also capable from climbing stairs. No the regular stairs, the "portable" ones you use to access roofs and things like that. He's even capable of open some doors from my other home.
