A Cat’s Guide to Training a Human

Ichiro · May 8, 2007 ·

Training humans is actually very simple.  The most important step is to remember to start first.  This means you can’t show the human what you want first.  You need to “attack” first.  What I mean by this is you need to do that one thing that annoys your human more than anything before they have any inkling that you want something.

Then you must keep up that behavior until they are ready to scream.  When they offer you what you want (such as food) then you calmly accept what they are offering as if you had no idea they would give in and do this.

Of course, one needs to not overdue the actions and antics.  Humans are stupid but not that stupid.  We can’t get too obvious about things.

    Chey…you should teach this as a class for poose CEUs. I need to recertify my bratty poose license soon and could use a few more credits.

    I guess I should at least wait a little while to try this as something tells me our humans might make the connection fairly quickly. I’ll have Kaze work on it for the time being.
