Why
is this? Although their behavior and temperament may vary from dogs,
cats are probably just as intelligent and very capable of being trained.
As many people have cats as they do dogs, so it seems most owners are
unaware that cats can be trained and can also be taught tricks.
Frankly, I'd never given a thought to the possibility of training my own cat until a friend showed me what she had managed to achieve with her own cat. It was like being under Barnum's big top. She had taught her tabby all kinds of tricks, like rolling over, handshaking, fetch and playing dead. As I'm sure you will understand, I was quite taken aback and not a little impressed.
I tried the library and book-stores but did not really find anything relating to cat training tricks. The best I could find was a book available online by Paula Robb, called the Complete Cat Training Guide.
It was great. It is easy to read and well laid out. It explains in simple language how to make your cat shake hands, beg, leap and twist, stay, sit, come, kiss, play dead, and fetch. More importantly, once you have mastered the basic techniques, they can be adapted to get your cat to perform an indefinite number of tricks.
However, this book is even better than a guide to cat training tricks. That is just one, detailed, section. In fact, it is a complete guide to everything you need to know as a cat owner (as the name implies).
In addition to general cat training, there are also incredibly detailed sections on how to solve pretty much every cat problem. More than 25 of the most common cat behavioral problems are included, along with real life examples.
It also teaches you how to understand a cat's body language and verbal communications, which I found absolutely fascinating. It has helped me to ascertain my cat's moods and needs and how I should respond to particular behaviors. This guide also contains many chapters on other aspects of cat care, house training and types of cat.
Another very handy facet of the book is its use of illustrations and photos. These graphic illustrations can communicate some things much better than words, such things as how to position your body so your can what you are trying to tell him by your body language. Conversely, they help you to recognize your cat's body language.
I also like the additional books you get included in the package, in particular The Essential Cat Recipe Book which takes you through the right ingredients and nutrients for your cat's meals and how to prepare them.
Just as good is the free email consultation on anything you wish to discuss with a team of cat experts. My experience is that their advice is detailed and thorough.
