Thank you for actually teaching us. Some people never understand what it mean to teach the owners. They just always show their cat doing the trick. Like that doesn’t help for a visual learner. Loved your video!

I'm glad it could help. Thank you for your kind comment! (This video is quite old now, so hopefully I'll have some even easier-to-follow and less boring ones soon!)

I only had one cat and I brought her in off the streets because the manager didn't want her on the work site. I couldn't even teach the dogs to sit however she ended up learning just from watching them. I must of had one special cat to be able to learn this without even having to teach her or bribe her with treats.

Cats are smart but really smart cats are a blessing. My cat mimics everything I do; it's a bit scary sometimes.

I have recently rescued a cat and he has so much energy and a big appetite so I was hoping he'd be able to do things like this to keep him entertained. He's actually caught on pretty quick. Thanks for this!!

A Calico cat came univited into our hse 15 mths ago with 2 wounds on her body n one being serious required overnight stay n stitches at d vet clinic. Today she is considered as our family's pet whom we love n treasure her v much 'coz nobody came by to claim her since day one. My son considered her to be quite smart n her IQ is d same as most dogs. She can understand English pretty well whenever u talk to in sentences like: Go there n sit down. Close your eyes n sleep Open the door. Follow me n go downstairs Come n follow me up d stairs Kiss only my specs but reserves her kiss for my niece who adores her n comes to see her v often.

3:50 "Ok, I'm sitting. Give me the treat."

I've trained cats to understand and obey "up", and "down" and even "come", but I've considered sit. Up is easy because I've had more than one cat that got fed on a counter or vanity. "Up, cat's name" and putting the food down and the cat will jump up on the surface you touch. Eventually this will work for any surface where you want your cat. "Down" is the inverse, getting a cat off a table or surface you don't want him or her on. If you call your cat to her meal with "come, name" they will learn come.

Beautiful cats.

i have a bengal mix and it took him only a few minutes to understand what i wanted. He started by trying to just grab the treat with his claws, and pretty quickly realized i wouldn't give it to him that way and just started sitting on his own.

Such pretty cats!

I loved watching this :)

She got the treat bag.

The black cat is beautiful. They both have distinctive coats.

My cat ended up teaching me how to lay down and watch TV...

I made a video on that today but i taught him without treats when i was five and did it again today!

I know this is really awhile after but, i have two 6 month kittens and trying to train them early. I have been teaching them sit for a few weeks but they keep pawing at the treats. So i raise it over their head for them to sit and they get the idea and know what to do with me having food in my hand. And as i said i have been training them for a few weeks. Here is the catch. When I don't have treats for them and i simply saying sit and using a hand gesture i have taught them, but they don't do it. So the thing is they only sit when i have any type of food. What do i do?

tnk you so much it worked

Maybe so but lucky this walk-in Calico cat who has stayed with us since 15 mths ago, knows a lot of words n sentences/phrases but only sad tt she can speak one word 'meow' which most cats normally wld do.

I have a question 🙋 I want an idea about the age I can train my cat to sit

What type of treat is best? My newly adopted seven year old cat is overweight.

It worked for us!!

Often can you do this in av day and in a week??

At what age do you think a cat should be ready to get trained?..... mines is currently 8 months old (hes big for his age and is very intellegant but chooses not to listen to people sometimes) and ive been trying to teach him to atleast high five i even used the treat between the finger trick annnnd.... he litterlly just looked at me and walked away... i give upppppp but if anyone has some advice pleaseee let me know. But also my mom kind of spoils him alooooot (she gives into his meowing when hes hungry and wants his canned or whiskers packed food, and my sister gives him like 5 treats for doing absolutley nothing).. maybe thats the issue? I dont know but someone please tell me what im doing wrong

Omg this actually worked

For whatever reason my cat only eats treats from the floor, after smelling them and going around them for at least 5 seconds, each time. I can’t give them the treat directly into his mouth, which will make the process extremely long and difficult. Do you think it could still work?

All i did was push my cats bottom down gently like you would a dog and i say sit and i always make sure my cat is sitting before i feed him. This method looks like it works well but i wonder if it would speed up the process if you're more direct w your cat like i just mentioned. It worked for me but i dont do this all the time and i dont know if he's just naturally doing it cus hes waiting to be fed or if its me.

It's great you've taught your cat to sit! There are lots of ways to train the same behavior :) That's one really cool thing about training. The reason I tend not to gently push animals into position is that it's a form of negative reinforcement. (This means that the animal is acting to avoid something they don't like. "Negative" in this term doesn't mean "bad". ) Most pets don't really enjoy being pushed on, and they will sit in order to avoid the discomfort. If animals (including people) are motivated by something they enjoy and want, they tend to perform better and want to train more than those that are acting to avoid something they don't like. Both are valid ways of training! Great comment and happy training! :)

Good boyyyeehhhh

It works thankyou alot we have five cats and a fish

Do you need to do hand gestures or he'll understand the word sit

Can any tell which breed that brown and white cat was??

what else can i use instead of chopsticks i cant use em

I’m gunna try this with my Nanas kitten

Im tryinf to train both of my cats. One is an older female and I believe she has dementia. She doesn't really understand. I will continue to try.

Since my cat doesn’t respond to treats I would have to use something she loves like a comb lol

I have a cat and a dog they live together since they baby and in 1 year I realize that my cat started to bring back the toy and play with me she know how to sit etc just like dog lol shes a dog in cat body

I'm gonna try this with my cat shadow :) ill do a way where whenever my cat sits, I will say "Sit" and then give him a treat, by doing that I hope whenever I say sit he remembers the memo and sits, if that doesn't work ill try this

how much time do you need to teach "sit" and how many months do a cat need to be trained from birth?

@AnimalInsight

Those are really good questions. Many cats learn in just one or two sessions of 4 or 5 minutes. Cats can learn at any age :) (Kittens are often faster to learn some things, just like puppies vs dogs.)

thank you for this helpful video. I have a young cat I would like to teach, but everytime Ihe sniffs the lure, he starts grabbing my hand. I have not really been able to make him sit, without an attempt at grabbing. Even once he is seated he will still try and hold onto my hand. When do I give him his reward? How do I proceed?

My cat does know to sit. However, he just keeps on reaching his hand out trying to grab the treat. Everytime he does that, I say no, and wait until he's not using his hand anymore to give him the treat. However, he's still not getting it... What do I do?

Will cats ever learn to sit without a (food) reward? Like my dog will sit even though I don't usually reward her for doing so, she just obeys the command, and if there is a reward it's usually just head pats. Is it possible to get a cat to the same level of obedience?

@AnimalInsight

6 жыл бұрын

That's a great question! Yes, cats can learn to sit without food. There are two keys to getting there: 1. When first training, remove the food lure as early as you can (use that hand signal with no food in your hand) 2. Reward your cat with other things s/he likes (pats, play, brushing, etc.). Reward often enough that she listens to you 8 out of 10 times. Animals, including people, generally do things when it's "worth" the effort Thanks for watching, and happy training! :) PS: This video is fairly old (and dry...), I'll be posting updated and faster ways to train in the coming months.

I wish you would have made more videos. :-(

It worked at the first time, but after a while, she stopped doing it. I think she was full....well, i gonna try tomorrow...

I just tell the cat to sit, force it to sit, say stand, force it to stand, (but by force I mean gently pushing them down and picking them up on their feet.) and hope it eventually learns. XD
