I frequently have a cat assistant when I make the bed: changing the duvet cover is always an ... exciting ... time. I can't help but think that the pyramids were only built that shape so the damn cats couldn't push everything off the top.

Kittie is only training you to become fiercer and more impressive.
Be glad that training to catch a living mouse is not on the schedule yet.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Who are you kidding? I have to catch live mice at least once a week when he lets the damn things go in the lounge!
The worst was when he came home with two rats in his mouth - he's only a little cat, honest - and dropped 'em both. One live - zooooom, under the sofa - and one dead. Cue a chase to the tune of Benny Hill. How the heck he manages to pick up live and dead rats at the same time I dunno.

Ahhh, so you had to repeat the lesson several times until you (hopefully) got a passing grade. I only had the honor once. After finally chasing the mouse out the door, it took the cat only about three seconds to catch it again, kill it and return it to my feet. Not without a very intense and worried look.

That's the only explanation. They are untrainable[^], after all. Be careful when you see a cat with blue eyes. These races are often photoshopped.

Thai? Siamese? Burma?

Snowshoe, which is an offshoot of Siamese. But that still doesn't rule out photoshopping.

Trained cats[^]
But [a little more seriously] once had a cat that would fetch small paper balls that I threw for it, amused many visitors particularly as it wouldn't do it for anyone else. (But I have to admit it 'taught itself.')

None of the bank tellers I've ever dealt with were that...friendly.
That aside...all cats I've ever owned spend an awful lot time licking places you wouldn't go near to. People, don't let cats lick your face. Much less your mouth.

Funny, but not really true. Cats can be conditioned to react to any signal just as well as dogs, monkeys or married men. The only trick is that you must get the cat to like whatever you want it to do. Then they do the actual conditioning themselves.

I know it's not true. Cats can be trained. They can be taught tricks, they can be taught to use the toilet etc. They are of course highly intelligent, so they'll only do it if they want to themselves.
But the meme was funny all the same.
Didga[^] is one of my favourite examples of a trained cat! She's really smart!
That being said, I've had a lot of cats during my life time, and - as with people - the level of intelligence is most definitely individual.

If you ever have seen a mixed cat and dog raid on a refrigerator, then you know how smart they are.

Yestersay
It started out as a simple typo, but I think it is quite usable, like in 'You don't yestersay!' when someone comes with some old and boring stuff. Now, how do I get it into a dictionary? It should be worth a few points in Scrabble.

Well done. Now you should invent the corresponding song as well.

Do you really want me to start singing here?
Edit: Are you not from Rome? Then you should know how that worked out in the past[^]!

First turn it into a meme. Then get it on social media. Once it hits one million shares, then they will put it in the dictionary.
Just like all the other crap they put in.
