Cats hardly give in to training – it will confirm any, dealing with these capricious small predators. However they can be taught some tricks too. It is only necessary to reveal natural abilities of pets and to encourage their talents with delicacy. Do not wait that the cat will begin to wear to you slippers in teeth. But he can learn to dance, jump from a curbstone on a curbstone and even to participate in small circus sketches.
Instruction
1. It is better to begin trainings with the childhood – since three months the young kitten can already show the abilities. Consider that the cat will try – to shout only for tasty food at him and to try to punish it is useless. Do not try to train a kitten right after food and you do not finger him while he sleeps. Wait when the small animal has a rest and it will be ready to feats.
2. Make delicacy. Adult animals can give granules of a dry feed – provided that they love them and eat with pleasure. To kids prepare boiled meat or the chicken cut by very small pieces. Delicacy has to be swallowed at one time, otherwise the pet will be fond of food and will forget about a training.
3. First of all accustom a small animal to resort on your call. Not all cats react to the name. Make so that the nickname of an animal was associated for it with delicacy. Call a kitten. If he does not react, approach him, call once again and immediately give delicacy. The cat will acquire communication between a nickname and encouragement soon and will independently resort. It is not obligatory to treat him every time, but from time to time it is necessary to set skill.
4. Complicate a task. Lift a tasty bait, inducing an animal to rise by hinder legs. Slowly rotate a hand that the cat turned. If your pet likes to jump, try to lift delicacy above, accompanying action with the word "Jump" or "Alla". The kitten has to snatch out delicacy in a jump. Encourage it with one more piece. After a while the cat will jump according to the sign of the raised hand or having heard familiar team.
5. Try a classical circus trick – jumps on a curbstone. Take two stools, put them closely to each other, put a kitten on one of them, and on another put delicacy. Draw attention of a small animal, having moved a bait before his nose. When the kitten jumps, praise and stroke him. Put delicacy on other stool – the pet immediately will jump back. Gradually increase distance between curbstones.
6. Choosing tricks for the cat, consider his natural abilities. If the animal willingly gets into any empty capacity, masterly clambers on a carpet or drives the curtailed paper ball with passion of the professional football player, try to think up for it the small plot beating abilities of the pet. Do not forget to encourage a cat with delicacy, supporting in it desire to self-improvement.
