Emma learned a trick!!!!

[DogLover9501]

As you can probably see, I am VERY excited about this

I do Clicker Training with my pups, and I remember someone telling me that you can clicker train a cat, that it was HARD, but possible

So tonight I sat down with Emma and first taught her what the clicker means, so I would just click and give her a treat...

To make a long story short, Emma has learned the "sit" command, and the whole thing took about 30 minutes

She sits whenever I say the word, I have NEVER tried to tain a cat before and I have NEVER met a cat who knew any commands.

I am very proud of her

That is neat! Good job

Cute!!

My cousin's cat plays dead.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

What is "clicker training"?? I never heard about that

[Jods]

Its this little thing that makes a noise. You push the button whenever a dog does a right commmand and they get a treat eventually they know just by the noise that they did the right trick.

That is a reat Trick,the only ones,the Found Cats,have learned,is to trail Big JJJ3,when I shake The Whiskas Temptation package,as no matter,where he is,in the Hotel,he gets there first,everytime.Emma,is such a Great Little Cat.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

That's cool! The only command Tubby understands is "NO!"

And Peanut doesn't even know that one. Her daddy says all she doesn't have to be smart, all she has to do is look cute, which she is very good at.

Sounds like you got cute and smart! Way to go Emma!

Good job Emma!!! I have never heard of "training" a cat. *I* am very well trained though. Mine do react to the shaking of a treat package - but they do NOT sit, they ATTACK

Emma must be extra smart!!!

Congrats to Emma! What a Super Smart Kitty!!!

Thanks everyone

I'll try to get a video of her doing "sit" soon

Mike has Klinger trained to fetch the ball and bring it back and
to come when he makes a clicking sound with his mouth. Really cool..

Thats what I taught Emma with(temptations)

*EDIT* I have also learned that she will only "sit" for a treat when she feels like it..typical cat

[dukedogsmom]

That is so funny! Yep, cats do what they want, when they want.
