Do you find yourself spending lots of money on food puzzles and toys that don’t seem to occupy your cat for very long? Are you are worried that your indoor cat may be bored? Seeing your cat spend the whole day on the couch can create a feeling of guilt – we all want to have the best relationship with our cat, and that means giving them the most enriched life possible. Well-intended cat “experts” will tell you that all you need to do is play more with your cat, but many cats are not that interested in toys. If your house is a graveyard of 'dead' cat toys, you can probably relate.
And that’s what most people think is the truth about cats. The prevailing attitude is that cats are easy pets, and they don’t need much attention – they spend most of their time sleeping, and they can be tired out with a short play session.
And training? No way! “Cats train us, and we don’t train them.” Right?
Maybe your cat is more energetic and demanding for your time and attention. Plus, there are some behavioural challenges you may want to improve Yet, despite all your google searches, haven’t figured out how to — spray bottles or sticky tape seems to be the go-to solution to all cat problems. You know, there has to be a better way!
If you've ever struggled with feeling like you want to improve your cat's behaviour and find more ways to give your cat enrichment, you are not alone. By labelling cats as low-maintenance pets, we don't prepare owners for the reality of cat ownership; cats that are bored exhibit problem behaviours and this can result in frustrated owners and a weakening of the cat-human bond. Furthermore, many cat owners get caught in the "I can't train a trap misconception," often accepting their cat's problem behaviours.
There are lots of misconceptions when it comes to cats and one of the biggest ones is the notion that cats don’t need training. Learning new skills and behaviours is a form of enrichment and activity that can benefit every cat and solve many of the problem behaviours that frustrate cat owners. Humans play games like Sudoku, Scrabble and, cross-world puzzles to keep our brains sharp, so it shouldn’t be that far-fetched to imagine that our beloved felines need mental stimulation too.
You may have tried to train your cat and ended up deciding that they were too intelligent or stubborn to train. Or, maybe you blame yourself - that you don’t have the ability — or the time — to maintain a consistent training schedule to achieve results.
Training a cat can be a challenging experience if you don’t use the right methods. In the worst-case scenario, you will confuse your cat and turn them off training for good. If you haven’t had success training your cat so far, it's probably because you weren't using the right approach.
