Oh so wonderful!! If only I knew about this when I first got my cats. Fortunately, they taught me and led me to cat training. THANKS I'm going to add this one to the yahoogroup cat-clicker training files!
This is a wonderful video, very helpful. Sherlock seems to be purring and enjoying himself the whole time; great way to prove that clicker training is the best! Sherlock is gorgeous- shiny coat, nice muscle tone. You're very lucky to have such a cat...
Sherlock used to be very good at letting people (vets) do things to him; unfortunately we at one point went over his threshold with several painful procedures in a row. So I'm rebuilding his confidence right now, first with me and then with others "poking" at him. I consider it an important health benefit to be able to avoid anesthesia whenever possible, not least as a cat gets older.
Thanks! Interesting video. That is certainly one big advantage to showing cats - they get used to being invasively handled by a variety of people. (Much more so than dogs, incidentally.)
excellent work. Very good with the timing and rewarding.

Wow, very nice, he is a purring machine! Looks very happy and fit too.
Sorry the question, but is he neutered? I heard its harder to train neutered cats.

Yes, he is neutered. I don't know enough about how that affects trainability in cats in general to comment on it.
