Training My Cat-Ben
Ben was a great deal of fun to train. He liked the food treats very much, which made it simple to direct and reward him. He already had complete trust in me, so fear didn’t get in our way.
Typically, he learned quickly. Cats are very bright, and as long as you ask them to work with you and not for you, things can move along quite well. The only behavior he had any real problem with was "Down." He wasn’t interested in that position, but we worked it out with some time, patience, love and rewards.
The side benefits of working with him were great. He became more people-oriented in general and more me-oriented in particular. He was a bit aloof before, now he insists on curling up on my belly during TV times, and even gets himself involved.
The only problem we had was that Ben took his training quite seriously. He saw it not as degrading but more like higher education. It became immediately clear that laughter was not allowed in the training area. Anyone who ignored this rule was met with a cold stare. Then Ben lay down, closed his eyes in a slow blink, and refused to participate any longer. It was hard for me not to laugh the first time this happened! Now I give strict orders to all the people who watch the training that this is to be viewed with respect and no laughter.
