@voiceOreezn as for the scratching this doesn't have to do with training either... you can't (or should i say you should not because you actually can if you tried hard enough) train a cat to not do things that are in his nature.. i would suggest you watch "my cat from hell" this will help you understand this better.. but basically instead of saying no you should say yes! "no do not scratch my sofa, yes scratch the scratching post next to it" :)

@voiceOreezn not eating wet food and treats doesn't have to do with weird .. just like a lot of humans don't like trying new foods if they were not fed different foods since they were young.. wet food is something you need to start giving when he was very young .. what you can do is start mixing some of it with his dry food.. only like half a spoon do that for a week if he doesnt want it give him less.. then bit by bit put less dry food and more wet food this will let him get used to it

@IIIRuin - I should probably explain.....we have the world's weirdest cat. Won't eat wet food, won't eat treats, won't eat people food, won't even eat tuna! He will only eat one kind of dry cat food, and that's it. We have tried to give him treats, and he turns his nose up. We're getting desperate on training this cat. We can't afford new sofas all the time, and we don't believe in declawing. Thanks so much for your response tho!

@voiceOreezn What if you try a wet food he really likes squeezed out of a cheap icing dispenser? You can squeeze out a little dollop instead of a dry treat.

I have a question if you don't mind. Can clicker training work even for cats that don't like treats? My cat won't eat any kind of cat treat whatsoever, and we are going through sofas like water, due to his constant scratching, (yes, we have several cat condos, scratching posts, etc.). How would you use this for a cat that doesn't eat treats?

[MarilynKrieger]

You are absolutely right. Not my usual MO. I was very nervous when I was being filmed and didn't have the opportunity to redo them. Hopefully, soon I'll be able to do some others where I'm not a nervous wreck.

I didn't think you were supposed to keep repeating the name either, after awhile the animal begins to just ignore being called.

keep repeting the word, that is confusing for the cat no? Molly sit, sit sit
