How do you train your cat to do tricks?

A cat, or a kitten.
Tricks like shake a paw, or roll over, or even something as simple as stay, or come.

Hi there…here’s a great website which shows you how to train cats to come and sit, sit up, lay down, walk on leash and other behaviours: http://www.catsplay.com/dailycat.php3?cat=mind&scat=mind_training

The key thing to remember when training cats is to always train right before meal time with food treats so if your cat is free fed you will need to switch to a scheduled feeding to help your cat stay more focused during training. Training sessions should always be short and fun or cats will quickly lose interest in learning. Each technique should be taught one at a time until they are perfected before moving on to another behaviour (aka tricks).

Here’s a video of a cat performing some of the behaviours (aka tricks): http://youtube.com/watch?v=1pcoYqlAjRk
