Cats are finicky; cats are aloof -- maybe because they're such intelligent creatures. Dog lovers, don't go off in a huff, but cats are more intelligent than dogs. And, with patience, encouragement and rewards, cats are highly trainable.
You may never teach them to leap into the air and grab a frisbee, but walking at heel, rolling over, bringing in the paper, is not outside the realm of possibility. Here's a few hints:
Cats are easily bored so make training sessions short and to the point.
Its easier to teach a behavior to a cat that isn't expecting a play session. Play first - wait, then teach the behavior that reward the wait.
You may have to show the cat what you want. For example, put a line of treats several inches from your reclining cat. As you say "Sammy, roll over", help your cat to roll over in the direction of the treats. Praise your cat and let him/her enjoy the treats. You may have to "help" your cat do this behavior several more times.
Remember to encourage you cat every step of the way, but save the greatest praise for a "trick well done".
Rolling over is just one of the many tricks you can teach your cat. Turning on or off a light switch, or TV or stereo; walking at heel -- just about anything with the right amount of patience, rewards and love.
So if you want to teach your cat a trick or two, remember these things:
1. Be patient. Make sure the cat is receptive to the teaching you are to give him.
2. Build your trick upon some habit or behavior the cat is already doing.
3. Don't scold your cat for not performing. Only use rewards to establish the new behavior.
4. And remember to consult your vet or pet professional before using any advice when working with your cat.

I Use treats on my cat, She can do a few tricks. the first is to put treat right above nose and raise it till cat is on two legs..Then give treat. My cat is so cute when she begs. The next trick she dose is to come when I whistle at her, when she comes in after I whistle she gets a treat. lots of pats and soft soothing praise. Do this every day and kitty will respond. The training sessions last as long as the cat is interested, once she looses interest then trick time is over.

Responding to her name.
Being interested in something other than her food bowl or the spot in the sun to sleep in.
Staying off of the clean laundry.
That's a good cat.

Cats do not do tricks. They are too independent to be bothered. You have got a pet which is above your own level of intelligence.

Search on the Net for an artist named Kuklachev (Kuklachyov). He is a Russian circus man who makes his cats do all kinds of things. May be you'll learn something.

My cat can lick herself in front of company or plant her butt on the newspaper when I try to read it. She can hide toys under the fridge and microwave cart. AND, she can ignore me when I call her name.
You can't really train a cat to go tricks.
