Contrary to popular opinion, our feline companions can be taught to perform on cue.
All successful training is accomplished through praise and food rewards.
While direct correction is employed in canine training, it only confuses, frightens, and alienates felines. The key is to discover the food treat that is most appealing to your cat and to present it to him immediately each time he responds to a verbal cue with the desired behavior. This is basic feline training. Even though your cat may never go outside, he should master this simple point of feline etiquette. It may come in handy some day.
