But bear in mind that if they're male cats they won't let go of the remote  ;)

No need to train them - just tie dusters to their feet then get out a toy.  Or get a long haired cat (esxcept they deposit hair as fast as they clean it up).

My Lirael will play fetch. You have to throw things for her to do it though, not sure a remote would hold up ;)

Amber will play fetch with my friends but not with me  :'( If I try she runs after the ball, sees where it lands then runs back to me without it. Then again the only thing shes done with the remote control was when I got a new TV. I thought it had broken as the sound kept getting louder, finally realised Amber was sat on the remote and when she moved was pressing the volume button.
