Cats are very intelligent, you can teach them a lot. But they also have a mind of their own, because they are that intelligent. So in the end, depending on the personality of your cat, that's what you have to work with.
I feed my two cats twice a day, dry food mainly (because it's healthier) and occasionally some fresh fish.
They meow for more food but generally I'm good about putting my foot down. Sometimes when they climb on counters and stuff though I'm too tired to get angry and just leave it. But I will find a way to stop them...

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
