I taught mine to turn off the lights and it gets a treat for it. It knows the trigger for a job done is the light turning off. I think you might have a better chance of teaching the cat
Mine figured out how to use a door handle, and I didn't even need to train him. He just wanted to be on the other side of the door, and made it happen.
Mine does that too, I used to live in an apartment where the bathroom had a really light door handle (door made of glass) so he went there and meowed in the shower since that was his favourite space to meow. Now I live in a flat with crooked door frames, so every door needs a solid push. The cat stands on the washing mashine with front paws on the handle, and meows at me since it isn't opening. He jumps at the door handle of the front door, gets spooked by the keys and runs full tilt to the living room to jump on a window. He knows the front door is locked, but I guess he doesn't care
has your cat ever turned off the light hoping for a snack, even though you wanted the light to stay on?
Yeah, that happens sometimes, but it's mostly about a different command being given and he turns off the lights. He usually does that when I'm next to the lightswitch, sometimes I ask him for a different thing, or I ask him "wanna treat? and he turns off the light. He still hasn't gotten the location right though, if I ask him away from the lightswitch he doesn't go there and back.
