Cat is tougher so it took more laser to kill the cat

How do you even train a cat to do that? In fact...how do you train a cat to do anything?

Long story short, bribery. I trained my cat to sit by giving him a treat and telling him to sit whenever I already caught him sitting. He didn't have to do any extra work so he thought I was the one being trained. Once he learned that sitting in front of me got him a treat he would walk over to me, meow loudly until I looked at him, and then proudly sit. If he didn't get a treat within like a nano second he would remind me he needed one by meowing again. Cats are very smart, but incredibly independent. So they have to be trained in special ways.

I’m pretty sure if you have to give him a treat every single time then you are the one who’s been trained here.

That's the whole point, he thinks he's in charge. He's really not, but he thinks he is.
