People always say you can teach old dog new tricks but not so the cats whose owners still believe that however much they love the felines, it is normally next to impossible, trying to get them to learn anything. The truth is that, cats can actually be taught in many areas.

If you learn to practice the simple rules of behavioral training, you should use the rewards to instill good behavior and punishments to make them obey instructions. Give the cat rewards or treats when called and it obeys.

The next step is to choose what you really want the cat to do. If you need to take the cat on a walk by a leash, then it is simple, just buy a collar and lay it next to its bed.

Once it gets used to seeing the collar, the next thing is to get the collar around its head each time you are giving it food. Then once in a while, allow the collar to remain on the cat’s neck for some few days. Once it accepts the collar around its neck, the next step is to attach a leash to the collar and there you are, ready for the walk.

Another hurdle is how to get the cat to use the toilet. Here you will need a litter box which you place next to the toilet on the floor, and raise the toilet lid.

Follow this by introducing a pile of newspapers to raise the box higher to the level of the toilet bowl.

The litter box should be secured by a metal bowl for some time till the cat gets used to it. When you later remove the box, the cat will automatically continue to use the toilet.

All this calls for a lot of patience and is time consuming for it to succeed, but your rewards will follow when the cat begins to obey exactly as it is told.
