I've been working on training Fluffy on a few things. One of the things that seems to be working well is making her work for her treats. She seems to really listen and things are going well (she is actually "petting" my head as I type this which is funny). The first video is me asking her if she is ready to start. The second video is her responding to the command "paw" in which she has to touch me with her paw before she gets the treat. I touch her nose with the treat and then put it on the ground for her to eat.

:) Very nice!
The cat I had that fell out of the window, (now lives with my daughter and her husband), I taught him to "sit", "shake" and "sit and stretch his arms ALL the way up" as I pick him up! :) I used those treats that are crunchy on the outside and soft in the center, BUT he never knew it had a soft center because he always inhaled them, never chewed one! LOL

These particular treats are new and are supposed to be chicken and catnip flavored, but I did not see catnip on the ingredient list, only chicken actually. The ingredients looked good, however I discovered today they are giving Fluffy a bit of a littter box problem...so we'll be moving back to the Temptations, as you described above! She doesn't really care, as long as you call them treats. She'll eat kibble as long as she thinks its special actually.

Clever girl! I love that she is patient enough to wait for the treat to be on the floor; my boys usually try to eats theirs with my fingers and all :LOL:

I was beginning to train Liam and then Grayson with treats, but I was pretty sure that they were upsetting their bellies, so I stopped. :Sad:
