it is the human who has been trained.

Training is underway now and you don't even know it.

And walked him across the living room so he was just using his hind legs. I didn't know how he would react. He immediately ran back to where we started and I realized he wanted to do it again. Then he wanted to do it again, and again, and again. Finally he would whine if we stopped and I had to keep doing it. Cats enjoy strange ways of moving their bodies through space.

If, OTOH, you had indicated with gestures that you wanted the cat to do it again, no deal.

My cat has 3 multi-tiered cat trees/gyms next to each other to form one grand one. She has set rules for which tier is totally private and not approachable without risk of retaliation, and which ones she will allow humans to approach to scratch her head or ears. I put up a plaque beside them that reads: The cat is in charge. We only live here.

dog and kind of stretch them out so they look like Superman flying. As a joke I did that to my cat, and he LOVED it. He wanted me to do it all the time. He was such a sweet silly boy.
