Download or read book How to Toilet Train Your Cat written by Paul Kunkel and published by Workman Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Kunkel’s foolproof, tried-and-true 21 day program teaches any litter-trained cat to use a toilet instead of a litter box. It doesn’t require anything fancy—a toilet, a stack of magazines or newspapers, masking tape, plastic wrap, a supply of cat litter, and a litter box—and it’s the perfect program for anyone who wants a happier, healthier cat. The program begins with you placing the litter box next to the toilet, and ends with your beloved cat using the toilet—just like any other member of the family. For life. Along the way, owners learn why toilet-training is beneficial to cats. In well-researched, totally updated, fact-filled text, Kunkel traces the history of this mysterious animal, and explains why many cats equate the smell of a litter box with danger; why the fragrances, deodorants, dyes, and disinfectants found in most litters are detrimental to your cat’s well-being; and why the decision to transition to the toilet is one that will benefit both you and your cat. No more litter box, no more litter, no more cleaning—and no more smell!

Training engages their minds, preventing boredom and potentially reducing behavioral issues born out of restlessness. 3.

Enriched Environment: Training sessions contribute to a stimulating environment for your cat. Mental and physical stimulation is vital for their overall well-being, promoting a happy and contented feline friend. 5. Problem Solving: Training encourages problem-solving skills in cats. It helps them understand cause and effect, fostering a sense of independence and confidence. 6. Health Benefits: Certain tricks and activities can contribute to your cat's physical health. Agility training, for example, keeps them active and agile, promoting a healthy lifestyle. 7. Showcasing Unique Talents: Cats are incredibly talented creatures. Training allows you to showcase and celebrate your cat's individual skills, making them the star of their own show. 8. Ease of Veterinary Care: Training your cat to tolerate basic procedures like nail trimming or administering medication can make veterinary care less stressful for both you and your feline companion. 9. Therapeutic Connection: For those facing challenges like anxiety or depression, training your cat can provide a therapeutic outlet.

Download or read book Beyond Purring written by Gilbert Langley and published by . This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a little knowledge you can teach your cat to perform tricks. The belief that cats are independent and untrainable is a myth. The reality is, you can easily train your cat (the one that tore a hole in your couch) to do tricks. However, you do need to know what you're doing. That's where this book comes in. The following tricks are covered: Sit, Jump Into the Box, Touch, Up, Down, Speak, Allemande, Roll, Fetch, Drink Trick, Through the Hoop and (for the daring) Multi-cat Training. Beyond Purring: Tricks Your Cat Can Learn, provides a clear, concise chapter on the behavioral principles at play between you and your cat, step by step training instructions for each trick, photo illustrations, training techniques, a pre- training and post-training summary of each trick along with a good dose of humor. You'll be amazed at how quickly your cat can learn tricks. In most instances, it will only take a few learning trials before your cat is responding to verbal and gestural cues. Hey, your cat was already performing these behaviors - sit, roll, down, etc. Your cat just wasn't preforming these behaviors under stimuli of your choosing (verbal and gestural cues). This is what psychologists call stimulus control, and this is what makes it a trick. By applying a few basic behavioral principles in a structured way, you can communicate with kitty what behavior he or she should exhibit to get food (reinforcement). This is a powerful motivator, and no amount of effort will be spared to get the treat. As a result, rapid learning occurs. Think of training as solving a communication issue. "Gil demonstrated for me how he had trained his cat to jump through a hoop on command. I was spellbound! In my many years of practice and being around animals, I had never seen or thought it possible to teach a cat such a trick. I ask him to teach me how to do this with my my cat "Twiggy". He shared with me his technique and within two days, "Twiggy" had it down! This became an amazing feat demonstrated to many visitors to our home, an excellent party trick."Mark Johnson, DVM, Owner, Pender Veterinary CentreAuthor:* BA Psychology* Supervisor Northern Virginia Training Center* Staff Training* Inclusion Research Institute.
