Absolutely!I like to tease my dad that my cat knows more tricks than his dog.
I have had cats that were better "fetch" players than any dog!
It's because the motivation is different. Cats and dogs like to chase the ball or the toy for similar reasons. (Predator instinct.)
But, once your pet catches it, the motivation is different. The dog wants to keep the toy...to possess it. The cat wants to "kill" the toy as if it was a mouse or some other critter.
Once the dog is done catching and, presumably, "killing" the toy, he wants to play "keep away." That might be fun for the dog but it's not the way the human wants to play the game.
When the cat is done "killing" the toy, he wants to do it some more. He knows that, in order to play the game again, he needs to give it back to the human so that the toy can be thrown again.
The point is that cats and dogs are both trainable. You just need to understand what a cat's motivations are so that you can think like a cat.
