How can my Chartreux cat be trained to do tricks?
I just found out my cat is half Chartreux, and started reading up on the cats. Besides being known for being very quiet (my cat is very vocal), he fit every other personality trait and physical feature of a Chartreux. I read that, being very intelligent cats, they can be trained to do tricks usually only dogs do such as fetch and using the toilet. How can I train my cat to do tricks?

All cats can be trained. I've never met a cat that couldn't be trained. My cat LITERALLY uses the toilet (although he doesn't flush), and knows all sorts of 'dog' tricks. You teach them just like you would a dog.

I used a clicker that you'd normally use for dogs to train them. I also rewarded my kitten with a yummy treat after he did the trick correctly. What did I teach my kitten to do? I taught him how to sit : )
Now whenever I have a yummy treat for him he sits even though I didn't ask him to, lol! Sometimes when I don't want him bolting out my front door, I tell him to sit and he listens. I've gotta teach him some more tricks! He's not a Chartreux, just a regular tabby cat that my daughter rescued when he was an emaciated 3.5 week old kitten. He is now a happy 5 month old kitten who will be neutered this month.
I found these links on tips about training kitties to do tricks!

Cars only do what they want to do. You cannot normally teach a cat to behave much less do tricks

Your cat is just a blue DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR ( 97% of cats )
aka no particular breed
