Norwegian Forest Cat

　　Snowshoe cats have a certain ability to mimic. If the owner often opens the door in slow motion in front of the cat, it will gradually imitate and learn it. It is best before training to let the snowshoe cat know that there is something it wants behind the door. With this desire, the cat will learn faster.

　　At the beginning of training, the snowshoe cat may beg you for help instead of wanting to imitate and learn to open the door by itself. At that time, the owner does not need to pay attention to it. The smart snowshoe cat will remember the owner's actions and imitate them.

　　When it cannot get help from the owner, the snowshoe cat will try to jump up and touch the handle, but still fail to open the door. Obviously, the snowshoe cat has not understood the technique of opening the door; simply touching the handle cannot open it. In this situation, the owner can lend a helping hand to the cat.

　　The owner deliberately squats very low and pushes the door open in front of the snowshoe cat. After several times of opening the door, the snowshoe cat will understand that it only needs to separate the door panel from the door frame, and thus will start training its head-butting skill.
