How to Teach a Cat to Open Doors
Although pet cats are animals, they can do things humans do. As long as the owner is willing to put effort into training the pet cat, the cat’s abilities will increase. We know pet cats have a certain ability to imitate. If the owner often opens the door slowly in front of it, over time it will imitate and learn. Let’s take a look at how to teach a cat to open doors.
When training a pet cat to learn to open doors, at the beginning of training, the cat may beg you for help and may not want to imitate and learn to open the door by itself. At that time, the owner does not need to pay attention to it. A smart pet cat will remember the owner’s actions and imitate them.
When it cannot get help from the owner, the pet cat will try to jump up to touch the handle but still fail to open the door. Obviously, the cat has not understood the technique of opening the door; just touching the handle will not open it. In this situation, the owner can offer a helping hand. The owner deliberately squats low and pushes the door open in front of the cat. After several times of opening the door, the cat will realize that it only needs to separate the door panel from the door frame. After repeated training, the cat will master the skill of opening doors.
