British Shorthair Cat

　　Cats are proud and strong-willed animals, but they are also intelligent. It’s not only dogs that are suitable for basic command training; many commands can also be learned by cats through training. Some owners ask, "My cat is already two years old and has never been trained from a young age. Can it still be trained now?" The answer is yes, but it requires owners to spend more time and show more patience, so that the cat can become more obedient through training.

　　1. Cat Training — Food Training Method

　　If your cat is very greedy for food, this can definitely be turned into an advantage when training your cat. Cats crave food and will constantly seek it, so at this time we can use food to entice the cat to complete some commands during training.

　　The food used for training cats is not randomly chosen; it’s best to select snacks specifically made for cats, such as those with a stronger aroma like meat jerky or dried fish. This can better stimulate the cat’s sense of taste, making the cat interested in the food and thus achieving better training results.

　　When using treats like meat jerky to train cats, it’s best to break it into small pieces. After the cat completes a command, reward the cat, so the cat feels it’s gaining a benefit and cooperates actively with the owner’s training. It’s important to note not to feed too many treats to avoid the cat becoming picky in its daily diet, so moderation is key.
