Yes, you can teach a cat tricks! The key is to find treats they like and keep training sessions short and sweet. If your cat is not food motivated, you can even use brushing or playtime as treats.
Using a clicker is also helpful because it lets your cat know that they did the right thing the moment they hear the click. You can teach your cat that a click leads to a treat by waiting for your cat to do a good behavior, like coming to you, then clicking and immediately giving them their treat of choice. Repeat this until your cat expects a treat with every click. Once your cat is familiar with the clicker, you are ready to take on any trick! Check out these videos to see how to use clicker training to teach all kinds of fun tricks:
