For example, I like to train mine to accept me providing scritches (petting) with my feet and for them to be equally comfortable with using foot as hand

Wow, thank you for this awesome write-up! You didn't need to go so out of your way to teach a stranger, but I appreciate the heck out of it.

I never would have thought this could work with cats, or any kind of behavioral conditioning for that matter. It's the exact thing I would expect from a dog-training regimen. Regardless, I'll give it a shot. I think I'll see great results from the one who used to be right behind my heels wherever I would go at home. She still adores all attention, but she's a little more independent now ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thanks again for the tips! You'll have a share of the credit for any future snoot boops.
