How to Train a Norwegian Forest Cat to Roll on the Ground
By reviewing relevant information, we know that this cat originally inhabited the Norwegian forests, hence the name. It has an introverted personality and enjoys adventure and activity. Today we will discuss how to teach a Norwegian Forest Cat to roll on the ground, which really tests the tacit understanding between the owner and the cat.
Scenes like this are often seen on TV or in movies, where the owner gives a command or instruction, and the cat performs the corresponding action. Actually, with patience and proper training, every cat can do this; of course, the Norwegian Forest Cat is no exception. The specific method is as follows (for reference only):
First, you need to clarify the command that prompts the cat to roll, such as "roll." Once established, do not change it casually. The ultimate goal is for the cat to subconsciously understand the meaning corresponding to this command. Changing it erratically can easily confuse the cat, making it difficult to understand the owner's intent.
At the beginning of training, the cat will definitely be very uncooperative (if it is cooperative, then no training is needed). At this time, the owner can help the cat perform the action, for example, gently pressing the cat’s back with their hand. If it is willing to submit, don’t forget to give it some treats (food rewards); it seems cats also need to be bribed.
Alright, if everything goes smoothly earlier, then after repeated training, the Norwegian Forest Cat might understand the meaning of the "roll" command given by the owner. At this point, what you need to do is consolidate. If the cat can repeatedly perform the action according to your command, then you should gradually give rewards, the goal being to familiarize and deepen the impression.
The final stage is to no longer give food rewards and to have it complete the action. After previous repeated practice, the Norwegian Forest Cat should now fully grasp the command to roll on the ground. At this time, you can show off your "achievement" to friends.
