All animals specialize in doing certain things, it all depends on the type of individual your animal is. Certain cats love to do certain things, such as jumping, climbing, opening cabinets, and some cats even play fetch.

The first decision will be what “trick” you would like to focus on. Then you must decide how you will reward kitty for doing the trick correctly. The three popular rewards are a treat, a clicker, or just a big kiss and extra TLC. You know your cat the best. What does it want from you?

Training your cat how to do tricks can be a great bonding experience. You do not need to spend an ample amount of time training your cat each day. Just a few successful attempts will be enough. Also be sure not to wake up your cat to practice this tricks. Make sure your cat is alert and focused before you start.

One very important part in the training, it your reaction to what the cat is doing. Always focus on the positive parts of the training and ignore the negative. Be very quick with this.

For example, if you want your cat to jump through a round hoop place the hoop on the floor. When kitty comes over to explore give her praise. Hold the hoop up with part of it touching the ground. Entice her to walk over it. Click away, give a treat or praise. Just let kitty know that it was the reaction you wanted. Slowly raise the hoop off the ground to the desired height. You can add additional pieces to the trick as you go, long as you focus on the positive.

Cats can bore very easily because they’re very independent. Ultimately you must learn to be patient because sometimes training can be frustrating.

So can you train a cat? Absolutely you can! maybe not everything you wish but certain tricks can be done. Just remember do focus on what your cat enjoys doing, catch your cat doing what you want and praise it with positive feedback, and never force the training or make it negative.
