Three Steps to Train a Cat to Play Dead
Somali cat
Many owners want to show how obedient their cats are and wish to train their cats to play dead. Although the editor thinks this is as pointless as training cats to jump through hoops, some owners do have questions in this area. The editor has gathered some training methods for your reference.
Step One
The training method is: get the cat to lie down. It’s actually very simple; you can gently push the cat down with your hand while saying the command "lie down." The difficulty lies in having the cat associate the gunshot sound with lying down immediately. When we fire the gun, we then give the "lie down" command. If the cat doesn’t perform well, we need to push it down manually and comfort it so that it feels lying down is an enjoyable thing. Over time, the cat will be able to associate the gunshot and lying down without needing the verbal command.
