how to normal cats in to a funny cats

Get your cat’s attention. Your cat won’t want to learn tricks if it’s not in the mood. Starting by giving your cat a treat might get its attention. If your cat doesn’t act interested in learning a particular trick, don’t force it to play—just be patient and try again late
Get a supply of treats. Cats need to be constantly rewarded with tasty treats in order to learn tricks. Keep plenty of your cat’s favorite bite-sized treats on hand when trying to train it. Give your cat frequent treats when training it in short sessions. You can also vary treats frequently to keep your cat interested. Some good choices are:


  • Diced chicken
  • Bits of tuna
  • Commercial cat treats
  • Small pieces of dry foodImage result for how to train cats to do tricks
  • Use a clicker. A pet clicker is a small device that makes a clicking sound. Each time your cat does something you want it to (like a trick), make the clicking sound and give it a treat. The sound and positive reinforcement (reward) of the treat condition your cat to repeat the behavior.
  • Pet clickers can be found at pet supply stores. If you can’t find one, you can try a pen that makes a clicking noise.
  • Keep training sessions short and frequent. Cats learn through repetition, so frequent training sessions will help them master a trick. Try repeating tricks several times each day Keeping training sessions brief will also hold your cat’s attention so it will want to keep trying.
  • Repeat tricks when training your cat. When your cat completes a trick, give it a treat. Then try to get your cat to repeat the trick 5-10 times in a row (giving it a treat each time), as long as it is interested
  • Don’t use cue words until after the cat has learned a trick. For instance, if you want your cat to sit, don’t use the word “sit” until it is used to doing the trick. This will help the cat associate the word specifically with the trick
  • Teach one trick at a time. Positive reinforcement like praise and treats as your cat learns a trick will help it to master the behavior. Trying to teach it more than one trick at a time can confuse it, however, because it may not understand what behavior is being rewarded. Wait until your cat has mastered one trick before moving on to the next
  • Do not punish your cat for not learning a trick. Cats learn when given rewards and positive reinforcement, not when they are punished. Scolding or punishing your cat when it doesn’t complete a trick will only make it stressed or disinterested. If you cat doesn’t act interested in learning a trick, or doesn’t perform successfully, just try again later
