Cat Training

[Randy_K]

A friend of ours in Switzerland, Helena, has been reading up on cat training and decided to try it out on her Ruddy Abyssinian Faramir. The book Helena is using is titled "Here Kitty Kitty" by Catherine Crawmer

Helena sent pictures of the training. She says Faramir purrs all the time during the training - he loves the extra attention - and she says he's been more cuddly recently.

Using a clicker as a signal, she tells Faramir to return to a specific location (in this case it's a washcloth):


Faramir jumps from one chair to another through a hoop

Isn't he beautiful?


Waving bye-bye


Shaking hands


Walking out to the center of a plank and sitting up


Pretty amazing, huh? Faramir has even put on a show for the neighbors.
