Everybody knows that you can train a dog to do allot of things including behaving, fetching, even doing cute tricks for it’s owner, but what about cats? Can you actually train your cat? The answer is yes but there are limitations. Although it is quite possible to train your cat to do cute tricks, the cat will not do so unless it has a desire to. When you talk about training your cat you should keep it in the realm of cat behaviors not dog behaviors. Cats can be trained in many ways but they are much more dignified creatures that demand your respect. You can not simply tell a cat to do something nor can you demand it. If you try this you will be met with either a blank stare or non-action, the cat will simply run away, or depending on your hostility, it will retaliate with aggression.

Training a cat should be thought of as house breaking the cat, maintaining a behavior of respect to the cats owners and environment, and boundaries should be taught to maintain a cohesion between cat and owner. When training a cat there are very specific psychology’s involved and you must understand how a cat thinks and what motivates a cat to do things or to obey for that matter. A cat much like a person demands respect and must decide on their own to do something. Barking orders or trying to force compliance is not only counter productive it could cause a lot of problems that you won’t want to deal with.

Cat training is a very tricky yet simple if you know certain principals, thing to do. It’s only tricky if your mindset and comprehension of the cat world is misaligned with reality. Some cat training guide books offer you an incredible look into the cat world that will raise a few eyebrows. Simply trying some of the concepts that seem counter productive based on “dog training” methods will surely surprise you when you see how the cat reacts.

Training a cat takes slick manipulation, but not in a way that you want to control the cat but more in a way that you get the cat to act diplomatically, to do things you want them to do but to make them believe it is their own idea. One look into a cats eyes and you will know that there is a distinct difference in the intelligence of a cat and a dog. Cats are well aware of their power and that they have a choice. Dogs are more than willing to obey because they don’t seem to be aware of this distinction, at least not on the surface.

Cats can actually teach us a lot about interpersonal relationships with other human beings. The reason for this is that in many ways, what works in diplomacy with other people works incredibly well with cats, although the communication concept is different and requires more translation than direct “chatting” or trying to get the cat to see your point of view. With cats you need to see theirs and you need to take actions
