That the cat cannot be taught anything? No, that's not true. It is true that he does not have that predisposition to learn new things as a dog does, but this is so because it is not in his nature to always please the human being. But yes, with time and patience, may surprise us.
And if you don't believe me, don't stop reading this article. Discover what can you teach a cat.
Learning to use your litter box
This is the basics, and one of the easiest things to learn. In fact, a 3-4 week old kitten can begin to relieve himself on the tray. How do you get it? Putting it inside after every meal, or when you have already started to urinate or defecate.
Give me the paw!
To achieve this, you have to have patience and treats for cats. First, you have to get the cat to associate the word "paw" with its paw, and for this you have to put your hand in front of it. Usually, What the animal will do is put its paw on top, which will be when you say "leg" and you will give it its prize.
It is important that you always use more or less the same tone of voice, which must be cheerful, since otherwise he will not want to give it to you.
Cat doing agility
This is more complicated, but it can also be done. It takes even more doses of patience, lots of treats, and really, really wanting to have a great time with your four-legged friend.. You can start very early, when the little one is 3-4 months old.
Prepare an obstacle or two for him at first, and invite him to walk through them by placing a treat in front of him and giving it to him each time he has overcome one. When you do them well, with ease, add another.
