Best Answer

The best way to train an adult cat is with operant conditioning. When you see your cat doing what you want it to do or see it doing something that is close to what you want to see it do, reward it with food. This is called positive reinforcement. When your cat does something you don't want it to do offer negative reinforcement (squirt it with a water pistol). After a while your cat's behavior will be molded to that which you want it to have.

You do not need to train a cat to be domestic, just get it used to being around humans so that it will not try to attack you.
