I taught my cat how to speak. Now he doesn't shut up.
I also "taught" him to tolerate being cradled on his back like a baby.
How did you do the second? My eldest hates being carried. My youngest doesn't like it either but he's still young enough to be trained to like it, I think.
I started cradling him when he was just old enough to be adopted. Every time we crossed paths, I would say "Scoop!", scoop him up with a hand under his chest, roll him over backwards with my other hand on his butt, and lay him down on my arm like that. Then I'd scratch his tummy and give him kisses, then let him go after a little bit.
