I am not too sure if I like the idea of a cat being trained. It is too much controlling and computerising a cat. You dont own a cat, it owns you and a cat should just be there and eat and sleep and purr and sit on your lap and playing with you when he feels like it. Just my personal opinion.

Knowing cats, they are only pretending to accept this because they want to. But "training" does have the advantage of developing a closer personal relation with the cat, and getting to know better how it may think. Thanks Raffi.

There's a really good book written by an ex Israeli military woman, about using the clicker method, and she says it works very well on dogs. I have the book, underneath a bunch of other books, so can't mention her name till I dig the book out. LOL I saw the woman on the Ellen show a few months, and shortly after picked up the book. Some very good and simple, but most of all humane ways to teach your dog, and thus you and your dog will be in a kind of, dare I say it, harmony!?

I agree with Julie - cats are cats.
