Has anyone here had success training domestic cats to do tricks?
I have 2 three year olds that we adopted during the Covid lockdown in 2020. They are 1/2 siamese. I did not realize at the time that Siamese cats are regarded as "high maintenance" cats: very bright, very high energy, very people focused. That describes my boy cat, Arlo, perfectly. He is a chewer and has pretty much destroyed a couple of chairs. I'm guessing his destruction is because of boredom?
I've looked all over the internet, and I really want to provide him and his sister with more intellectual stimulation. I see videos where people have clicker trained cats to do lots of tricks, and that seemed like good stimulation.
But I would like to hear the voice of experience from anyone who's trained their cats.
Yo, @Tom - I think you've worked with just about every animal known to man (except maybe elephants and rhinos?). Have you ever clicker trained (or any other method) cats? Anybody else???
Thanks,
Mooz
