Cat Training?

05/12/2010 7:43 PM

I am told that you can actually train cats to do things but am not sure how to do that.

My wife got a kitten. It's alright and seems smart as far as these animals go. Friend of mine says that cats will not train to any trick or whatever with the use of negatives, and only react well to positives.

The average dog is reported to know 250 words, which seems a lot, but believable. Plus dogs are real emotional and do seem to take a lesson from harsh words, or the nose and outside lesson to get them to do their business outside.

This kitten is now about 6 weeks old. 6 months was the age trainers told me was best to seriously start training for a dog.

What I want to know is when serious trick cat training is best to start, and how to do it?

You are in for a shock if you are hoping for:-

" and will soon be ready to collect a Fat pension",

all she might get will be:-

" and will soon be ready to collect a Cat pension."

100 comments and not a single response from Del in support of cats. I suggest that the inner Del is really a dog person and this lack of support for cats can be considered an in absentia positive vote for dogs.

Now you're being silly.
I was hiding in my secret cat nest.

Cats are cute, but their habit of jumping up on furniture and kitchen counters are not traits I want, so I don't have a cat. I have a dog, but she stays outdoors all the time. Animals are nice to have, but when they walk around in the dirt and then climb on your dinner table, then I want no part. They either stay outdoors or I don't have them. I have seen dogs eat #2 and then lick the face of some unaware person. They lick themselves. Very unsanitary. Cats too.
