Most people think that it isn’t possible to train a cat. This is because most cats are independent and stubborn creatures that do not seem to be too concerned with what their owners want. They think that training a cat is simply too hard to do (or not possible at all). Believe it or not, it is possible to train a cat. In fact, training a cat is done in much the same way that dogs are trained. While cats seem aloof, they care very much about what their owners want and like to keep their people happy. Another bonus to training your cat is this: it makes life with kitty a lot easier.

There are a few different things you can train your cat to do. Some people train their cats how to use toilets. Others train their cats how to do tricks, how to play fetch and how to come when they are called. You can also train your cats not to do things, like leap onto the kitchen counters or beg for food.
Here are a few quick tips to make training your cat easier:

1. Work on training after your cat’s naptime. When cats first wake up they are generally more receptive to play or training.

2. Don’t force the training. If you try to force the training, the cat will resent it and it will take far longer to teach your cat anything.

3. Keep the training sessions short. If you try to train them for too long, your cat will simply get bored and stop working.

4. Implement a reward system. When your cat does something that you’ve been working on in training, give him a treat, a good petting, some food or a toy to play with.

The best way to train a cat is to train them to do one thing at a time and to start with something small. For instance, start with training your cat to come when he hears you call his name. The best way to do this is to have a treat handy and to keep calling his name until he comes to you. When he comes to you, feed him the treat. Call his name when you feed him. Before too long, your cat will learn to associate the sound of his name with the reward and will come running every time you call. This works for most “signal” tricks.

Using an audible signal can work well when you want to train your cat not to do something. If you want to train your cat not to jump up on the kitchen counters, use a sound that they find startling or unpleasant (the clapping of hands, for example) and whenever they do something that you don’t like, use that signal to startle them. They will learn to associate the action with the unpleasant noise and will stop doing it.
The key to training your cat is patience. It’s best to start training when your cat is a young kitten (though it is possible to train an adult cat).
