I'm not alone as a conflicted cat fancier. Tony Buffington is a veterinarian at Ohio State University, and he recently told me many cat owners are constantly frustrated by their feline companions. Even though we feed them, clean up after them, and pet, hug, and hold them, Buffington says that few of us know how toto our cats. This can make things more frustrating for them than for us.
“The way to train a cat is through their environment,” Buffington said. For example, put two-sided tape on the corner of your couch, or tinfoil on the kitchen counter. Then, put the now-more-attractive alternative nearby: A scratching post covered with catnip, or the awesome cat tree you built from scavenged driftwood. When your cat does the thing you want her do to, reward her with a treat, or affection.
The best bet is to let Fluffy guide the interaction. If she's rubbing some part of her body against you, she's given you permission to pet that part of her.Other feline behaviors are tricky, because they appear to be an invitation for petting. The classic is when Fluffy exposes her belly. When you go in for a rub, she bites and scratches you. "Exposing her belly is not a trap the cat is setting," Buffington says.

This is partly true, but I'm sure I see guilt on my cat's face when I yell at her for the obvious scratch marks.
So relatable...

Dogs are simpler. Mostly motivated by food.
Cats domesticated us thousands of years ago. By now they interpret our customs perfectly and have no need of explaining theirs.
I believe it’s exactly the other way round
