Who Says You Can't Train A Cat/ Say Your Prayers!


Recommended Posts

OK - first up - the first targeting session I had with my 7yr old cat - I have only just started bits of training with him! Boy am I impressed with the greedy guts :laugh:

Second - Leo showing everyone how to say your prayers :)

Enjoy!

I am jealous I can't see these! My internet connection is way to slow to view these but I'm going to have to go up to my isp and use their computers on broadband to check these out. Cat training is fun too, isn't it LP!!! What are you working on with your cat? I have got my cat targetting a stick and she can spin, do 'sit', beg and is just starting to jump properly through a hoop. The thing is, tricks like spin are hilarious as they're all done in SLOW MOTION!!! And when I say slow, I mean slow!

Sounds like your cat is more food motivated than mine. I'm surprised at what they can learn... don't know why, they are smart buggers! ;)

BTW, saw a beautiful pic of one of Leo's relatives on the front of an old copy of The Ringleader mag. Gorgeous.

For anyone interested - more vids on www.aussienut.blogspot.com

Bummer Arya - you should see them - I like these 2 vids especially :eek:.

Yeah - I love training kitties - this one is great for learning stuff. He knows sit, beg and come - but targeting is the first thing he learnt with a clicker ;). Seems like he is a good candidate!

Ooh - which relative? Do you know their name?

Tapferhund knows, I will check with her. She was on the front cover! I use a clicker with my cat too. It's so cute, when she hears the sound she puts her head down for the kitty chow LOL. Clicker is great with a cat, I think. It's nice quiet regular sound that doesn't spook them if you get too excited when they get something right :eek: Here is a pic. I have worked on capturing her with her paw up for the beg. Sometimes she meows at the same time - trying to capture that too but haven't managed it yet.

I have two cats. One is really obsessed with food and therefore I can train him easily. The other one not so much and therefore much harder to train. She can come when called and retrieve a ball but that's about it.
