  • My kitten is only about 2 months old but he is too playful XD can't get him to do it rite

  • be patient....keep trying and if he will not do it now, when he is older he will.

  • hey, our cat is 7 human years old. can i still teach her tricks??

  • Yes, your cat can learn tricks at any age. Usually the younger the better however with that said sometimes a cat that has matured is not as playful and will have a bit more of an attention span therefore making it easier to teach. The white cat in this video has shaken hands since he was a kitten however at 11 years old, we just taught him how to sit on command.(for his treats). Jake, the stripped cat in this video who shakes doing other so many times has known how to "sit" for years!

  • it dusend work on my to cats

  • If you stay with it, do it daily just a few minutes (with a treat yor cat really likes)...He/she will learn how!! Be patient!!!!!

  • Congratulations on teaching your cat to shake hands! Cats are very smart animals and can learn many other tricks.

  • Very cool! My cat is quite old, his 18 actually and im surprised he was able to do it. It only took a few days and he already understands what i mean.

  • My cat is now pissed off thanks to you...

  • um my cat doesn`t really respond to treats he only responds to petting i have taught him to sit and lift his front paw on command on my own but when i tried to teach him this he didnt respond dispite him learning other tricks fine. do you have any suggestion snot envolving treats?

  • What kind of treats would you recommend?

  • I cant catch my cat :(

  • My cat knows how to stand on her back legs, how to wave, how to sit, and how to ome, but she hates her paws being held. help?

  • @DahlingDaisy yes, you can. My cat is 8, and she still learns new tricks :)

  • I've taught my cat to shake hands, but now he seems to be confusing it with grabbing; he shakes, and then grabs the treat out of my hands rather then putting his paw back down and waiting for me to give it to him. What should I do??

  • im so happy im gonna get a Kitten i dont know when. ill name it pinky. i made a house made of box for pinky. anyway i dont have a kitten yet.

  • What are you using as a treat?

  • 0.46 into the video... Is the hole in the floor an Iraqie cat litter box LOL. God I remember the hole in the floor restrooms.
