We will all agree that dogs are easier to train to do tricks than cats, but dogs have the predisposition to please and learning tricks is one way to please.


Cats can learn tricks, but it is harder to get them to do things, unless you provide a reward that is really appealing.


There is also the thought that dogs have been selectively bred for certain behaviors, cats have been cats forever.
