The felis domesticus, or simply cats, are known for its sharp senses of hearing, smelling, and keen eyesight. However, with all these remarkable characteristics, cats are little known for learning tricks. Some people assume that its hard to train cats just because they do not know the proper technique.
The point is to make use of cats strong s senses as good target area. This can be done by using treats while training the cat. Generally, cats respond more upon immediate rewards.It is important that these rewards be given on an instant so that they can associate the rewards with what they have just done.
Unlike dogs that can respond simply by receiving a pat or a good verbal praise after the task, cats are more independent animals that seem to have their own sense of thinking. That is why it needs more incentives for them to respond to the commands.
In spite of this, it is not also healthy for the animals to respond to the commands simply because they know that there will be some treats in the end. Hence, treats must be limited while training the cats. It would be better to use treats in commands that are hard to teach like the “come” order.
Nevertheless, treats are very effective tools in training your cats. People should understand that cats are not given the same intellect that humans have. Hence, they need something to associate with so that they can understand that the action that they have just made is acceptable.Cat lovers just have to understand that cats, like humans, and like any other living creature in this world, need some praise, love, and rewards so that their pets will return the goodness that they receive.
