15: How Do You Train a Cat? Here’s Everything You Need to Know About Their Behavioral Lives

 

Do you know any cats that can sit on command?

If not, let yours be the first! 

In this episode, I am talking to you all about the behavioral lives of cats.

I find that cat behavior is a topic that often gets neglected, but as someone who owns and works with cats, I can tell you that they have very rich behavioral and emotional lives.

We talk all the time about training dogs, so why should it be any different for cats? My cats actually love training sessions! I can hardly get one in with my dogs without my cats coming along to join in with the fun. 

Getting really familiar with your cat and setting up a good environment for them is key to making them happy and having success with their training, so we are covering those things in this episode.

What We Cover in Today’s Episode

  • Signs of a stressed cat 

  • Building a stronger relationship with your cat

  • Getting familiar with your cat’s behavior

  • Setting boundaries for your cat 

  • Training principles we’ve talked about before that apply to cats 

  • Understanding your cat’s body language 

  • How medical conditions affect behavior 

  • Setting up an appropriate environment

If you’ve been wanting to train your cat but are not sure where to start, I hope this episode helps you out a lot.

Like I mentioned, my cat loves to be trained! It is totally possible to train your cat too. I am also more than happy to help you!
