If you raise both dogs and cats at the same time, you will find that cats are indeed much harder to train than dogs because cats are naturally aloof, more clever and practical. Historically, cats’ ancestors lived as loners and were very good at protecting themselves. Also, cats have a strong sense of pride, making it difficult to demand their obedience to human will.

　　Usually, a cat only agrees to be controlled by humans when it considers that it is beneficial to itself. For example, when hungry or feeling cold, a cat will make requests and obey certain commands. But you should understand that many times, when the cat lies in the owner's arms, it is a voluntary behavior, not because it obeys you. When it rubs its head and body against the owner and emits soft meows, it is only because it is hungry, wants to eat, or has some demands humans may not understand.

　　Of course, it is not that cats cannot be trained at all. Cats are very intelligent and can learn many actions and behaviors. If training starts when the kitten is five to six months old, some results can still be achieved. For example, cats can be trained to open doors, stretch claws, roll over, fetch objects, and eliminate waste in a fixed place. Kittens are more dependent and malleable during this period, so training should be intensified to form habits.
