Most people say that an old dog can still learn some new tricks but you cannot teach the cat any tricks. This is because the pet owners know that it is very difficult to get the cat to learn and most of the feline lovers have all but given up on this. Well, the real facts are that cats can be taught anything you want them to learn.
You will need to use the simple rules of behavioral training where by rewards and punishments are used either to reward the good behavior or to punish disobedience. So all it means is to reward the cat each time it obeys an instruction.
What follows is the choice of what you want the cat to do. If what you need is for it to accept to be leashed and taken for a walk, you simply buy the collar and put it next to its bed.
Once it gets use to seeing the collar there, you would need to keep putting it around its head before it feeds. Then you would start allowing it to wear the collar for a few days for it to get attached to the collar. After this you would just slip the leash to the collar and that is it; you are ready to go.
The next hard part of training is getting the cat to use the toilet. You would start with a litter box which you will put on the floor next to the toilet, then raise the toilet lid.
Now is the time to introduce a pack of newspapers to lift the litter box to a higher level till it reaches the toilet bowl.
Keep the litter box secured by a metal bowl for some time till the cat becomes used to it. Later remove the box and before you know it, the cat will be using the toilet automatically.
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.
