Cats can understand commands but may not care to follow them.
The claim that cats can understand commands is supported by evidence indicating that while cats do not understand human language in the way humans do, they can associate certain words or commands with actions or rewards. This suggests they have some capacity to 'understand' commands through training and repetition. However, they are not typically domesticated to obey commands as dogs are. Conversely, the claim that cats don't care to follow commands is a common perception rooted in cats' independent nature, and it is thus categorized as an opinion.
