I have a plastic hoop and i hold it upright and hold a treat. I move the treat through the hoop and the cat follows. Once she is ALL the way through i give her the treat while saying "jump". After she gets the hang of it i move it about an inch above the floor and repeat the whole process. Eventually you will get your cat to jump through it when it is about a foot off the ground. /\___/\ (=O_O=) At the moment i am teaching my cat to jump through a hoop.

Next teach it "search and destroy". Show it a picture of a rodent/bird, tell it "seek", then wait for it to find one and bring it back. :) Hehe.... I wish. Cool! Next teach it “search and destroy”.

I've had cats that would sit, sit up (beg), come and fetch. We've even gotten our current pet RABBIT to do some tricks like beg and carrying a plastic pumpkin.

My cats sit on command and a few other things, they're a little harder to teach than dogs because they aren't as easy to bribe with treats. Some people even train their cats to use a toilet instead of the litter box (I won't go that far).
