must undergo a period of training to obey human commands to lie down and stand up.

　　When the is standing, issue the "lie down" command and simultaneously use your hand to press the cat down, forcing it to lie down. Then issue the "stand up" command and release your hand to let the cat get up. After completing the action, reward with food or encourage with petting. In the early stages of training, you can quickly let the cat get up after it lies down. As the number of training sessions increases and the duration lengthens, let the cat extend the lying down time. After some time, issue the "stand up" command again.

　　After repeating this many times, the cat will form a relatively strong to the commands "lie down" and "stand up." As long as the owner issues the "lie down" command, the cat will lie down. If the "stand up" command is not issued, the cat will not get up, indicating that the training has basically succeeded. However, after success, it must not be interrupted; the owner must frequently reinforce the cat’s memory of the commands to establish a strong conditioned reflex.
