haha not even i knew how to get that food under the box without picking it up xD

Very good - as a cat trainer myself I pay my highest respects to you and your cat. You are far, far above my standards, which most people consider pretty high. Utterly unbelievable. Great work!

It so adorable how she kind of 'hugs' the vase to push it off the counter.

The cat is adorable...but I also have to say that your house is gorgeous!

What is the training process for that? I know it must be in small steps to get the cat from spot to spot. Like did you put food on the ring part for him to jump to? That's very neat and shows not only how smart you are in cat training but how smart your cat was to pick up on it.

Hi, pls. see my comments from 9 months ago.

Oh that makes sense. I wonder what does go through a cat brain. You say self respect, but I still wonder how much differently it's wired compared to a dog. Do animals really have respect for self?

Wade2st 2 years ago

Hi. No, I was being flippant. The reason is that cats are not naturally social animals and so simply have no instinct/motivation to please their owners. Unlike with dogs, the prospect of being petted by its owner is insufficient reward for a cat, and so you really need to train with food (though the food can be intermittent). Dogs are pack animals and are eager to please the pack-leader (which is how the owner is perceived) because to be banished from a pack in the wild would mean starvation.

@as3hime Hi

first, awesome what you did!

The theory about dogs being a pack like wolves has been refuted. They don't feel the need to please there master either. You can google "Ray coppinger, on raymond coppinger"to find more information about that.

I thought at first you trained your cat with clicker training. Do you know about that? I think you would love it. You can google Clicker training too, to find more about it. Its amazing what we can do with that.

Keep up the good work!

Sooo awesome! I got to try that hoop trick with my cat!

hi. cats aren't motivated to please their owners, having more self-respect than dogs, but will work for food. we did this at meal times (so only two trainings a day).

hoop: start at ground level and get her to understand she needs to walk through it to get fed, then slowly raise it about 1cm every other day.

box: we carried her through what she was supposed to do and she vaguely began to understand, and then the light came on. this probably took around 40 attempts.
