20.02.2023 12:57

As you know, dogs are much easier to train, but if you want, you can also teach cats commands.

If you want to succeed in this business, it is worth following a few simple rules that will make the process even more effective.

You can start training as soon as the kitten is 1.5-2 months old.

Cats are unlikely to enjoy long monotonous sessions, so try not to exceed the recommended training duration, which, by the way, is about 10 minutes.

If you notice that your pet is tired or bored, you should stop the process. You shouldn't force the cat by showing your strength - otherwise, it will stop listening to you altogether.

Don't forget to praise your pet after he performs a trick correctly.

To do this, you can use your cat’s favorite treat, pet, scratch, and use affectionate words.

What you shouldn’t do is scold your pet and punish him in case of failure.
