Get a dog instead. Cats can't be trusted.

You can teach/train them not to - at least to not do that very much. After just not allowing them to jump up on a certain place for a while, they'll probably start avoiding doing that. You can also get one of those motion-detect air spray deterrents, "Ssscat", as someone mentioned:
https://www.amazon.com/Innotek-PDT00-13914-Ssscat-Spray-Kit/dp/B000RIA95G
You can place one of those where you don't want your cat to be, and it will probably bother them and make them go away from that spot after it sprays air.

Cats might still occasionally go somewhere you don't want when you're not looking though.. But cats can learn. Another example, I had one cat who would lay down right next to the door to the garage when we went into the garage, so when we came back in and opened the door, it would push and slide him aside on the floor. He eventually stopped doing that.

The cats I've been around have thrown up occasionally, but I've never actually been around a cat that peed or pooped in any place other than their litterbox. Cats seem to be fairly smart about that. My (ex) wife and I got a couple of cats 4 years ago and they've always peed and pooped in their litterbox from day one. Yes, they do claw at things, which can be frustrating. My computer chair (with faux leather or something) is all ripped up due to the cats, though on the other furniture there's hardly any visible damage.

cats throw up because they arent meant to eat the cereal based food people give them. they also gorge themselves and puke.

when a cat pisses and shitting it's usually acting out or marking territory. my ex had 5 cats in a small house and now i'm in a big house with a bunch of cats.

i understand how cats think so i changed some things and that has helped. there's still that one that pisses on the baby's stuff or pisses and shits on the new cat tree we got. with the tree it was territory.

anyways, i'm blasting these motherfuckers with a spray bottle when i catch them doing bad things.

Getting a dedicated cat tree helps a lot... just giving them something
that they should scratch on, maybe seeding with catnip for a couple
days/weeks and putting them there more often.

Of course, funniest thing a cat ever did was pee on the microwave if you
let their feeder go empty. You left them without food, they pee where
your food comes from.

that's if you have ONE cat. if you have more, there's territory issues.

My cats will puke up Purina brand dry kibble, but they have no problem with Whiskas brand.

The canned offerings by Purina are fine, however.

Cats also respond to being stressed. Treat them well and they will then most likely meet your expectations too.

yeah i know we have way too many cats even though we live in a huge house.
with my ex she had 5 cats in a small house.
no matter what, the bengal would piss on things. the vet loved her.
she spent 8k in one year on that cat over stupid shit.

one time she was salivating a lot and i said she had an infected gland and needed anti biotic. she wouldnt listen to me. so the vet did 100 tests and removed growths on her face and did biopsies and brushed her teeth and did the works on her and ended up i was right.

one time this cat stood over her on the couch and just emptied her bladder on my ex.

she also ruined a new leather couch and a matching chair [which i have. it was professionaly cleaned and i dumped 3 gals of vinegar on it and let it dry out in the garage]

Some cats have been known to pee on the bed at night, and that appears to be malicious. Seems to be more common with female cats for some reason. We had 2 male cats, and they were really great. Sure, a little mischevious at times, but good with the litter tray. The cats have since passed away at ripe old age (19 and 17 years). :(

I don't think you can just order a vet to give an antibiotic
without conducting some set of tests.

her bladder on my ex.

Whoa! That's pretty bad. I have a cat that has a "routine" to
stand on my chest while I'm laying back in my bed and demand a
massage for at least 10 minutes before she settles down and curls
up on my lap. Sometimes I imagine that she is getting so relaxed
during the massage that she might relax something else in the
meantime.

she also ruined a new leather couch and a matching chair [which i have. it was professionaly cleaned and i dumped 3 gals of vinegar on it and let it

Cats and fine furniture are not always a good match. My furniture
is pretty much junk - but the cats don't abuse any of it.
