My cat has 100% subject mastery of the word "no" but seemingly does not know the word "yes." This is the knowledge asymmetry of someone who has never sought permission to do something in their entire life.

"no" is a challenge, "yes" was a given. ;)
@jonny Cats have an enviable response to authority. :)
Our cat understands "no" to mean "ignore this human".
She knows "good" from how she is frequently praised for being a good rumbly, but that is as close as she comes - praised in retrospect for not making a violent decision, but she has already made the decision so a "yes" is meaningless.
