But maybe you can train him/her with string. Is your cat attracted to string?
Very much so. He's stubborn (and smart) enough to not do anything that puts him in pain, even when a reward is offered, so I'm not too concerned about that.

avoid teaching him this sort of thing, he's already enough trouble. He has just about figured out how to turn the doorknob to open up doors. He can't do it every time, but he has done it a few already. He also takes great pleasure in hitting the reprint and test-page buttons on printers. The magical paper producing box confuses and excites him.
