I would like to train her to do a few things.

That's just about the funniest thing I've ever heard. "Train her"....stop it...I'm gonna pee my pants. I have...live with...six of the little gangsters. They all know their names and some of them actually come when I call up to 40% of the time. Treats are not a good idea for the reasons cited by zensee and caitlyn. Talking to the cat, saying her name alot, with lots of affection and eye contact has worked for me.

You can also lay some maps or other important work-related documents out on a table and start working on them. You have to actually be working on them. You can't fake it; they can tell if you're faking. Anyway, start working and, voila, within 5 to 10 minutes your kitty will be lying comfortably on the subject document, on the exact spot that you are trying to see. This always works. Since it's tax time, you might want to try it with your tax return form. Good luck.

Newspapers and phonebooks work poerfectly for this. Also - Pizza boxes.

Cats have great ears, they just come when they are good and ready.

When they stick their tail up in the air, there is a spot just forward on the back, right where the tail comes out. Basically take three fingers and massage that area for and aft. This works on both males and females. Make that part of your kitty massage and it goes a long way. It's better than under the neck, it's like a secondary G spot for them.

HAHA, once YOU are trained to do this competently it will be hard to get rid of your fuzzy little fiend, err friend.

Another thing that is really good is hypnotism, but I would have to get my sister to reveal how to do that. It's not really hypnotism, but it's close.

Oh, and pizza boxes ? One time Uggie got on the roof. Have no idea how he got up there but there he was. We stood on the upstairs porch and he would not jump, I guess he did not have the confidence in us to catch his fall, and he just did not want to fall that far. Low and behold there was a large pizza box in the house. We finally got him to jump onto that.

Yup, he had us trained in proper rescue techniques !

My cats learned their names because I would just say that name over and over while I was petting them.

The only "tricks" they know is how to get me out of bed to feed them at 4 am ...

The rap cats get about being untrainable is largely propaganda. If they like you and want to spend time with you, they can learn. Just be sure who is training whom. Consistency is key.

Go to YouTube and search "clicker train cat" if you don't believe me.

There are resources online too - e.g. http://www.petplace.com/cats/clicker-training-your-cat/page1.aspx

I have to agree with pretty much everyone here....cats train you!!!! Mine can get me out of bed pretty much at his will...when he's hungry, when he's bored and needs attention.....or just for the fun of watching Mom get frustrated! Evil little bastage!

Cats can be trained, if they will allow you to do it...I had one that would actually play fetch.....and I didn't train her to do it, it was something that she did. Your furbaby will eventually learn it's name, but the decision to come when called will be entirely up to kitty. Mine hide, usually in plain sight, and when I'm looking for them, opening cupboard doors, closets, even checking outside, under the bed, all the nooks and crannies, I will eventually look up, and they will be sitting on the fridge or on top of the cupboards watching the idiot running around again! I can call til I'm blue in the face, and KB will just look at me...I can hear him thinking "I wonder how long before she gives it up?" But I love them all to death!

Have fun.....they really are great little things! BTW, if you can, think about getting a second kitty...they are so much fun!!! And two really aren't any more work than one.

If you are a Domme, you should get a dog. They are much more like subs, in that they take training. If you are a submissive, then you are most likely a cat person. They will train you.

We have 4 cats, and we coexist. The female is a bit uppity, but the males although they are definitely cats, are sweethearts and will follow us around at time like a dog. Katie ( an ex slave named her with a variant offshoot similar to my name) is definitely in charge of the other cats, and yes , of us at times. It's all good though; I personally don't want a dog because of its slavish obedience. Cats think. Hey wait, I like that in subs too....again, it works!!!

When did you get up to 6??? I'll send you pics of mine if you send me pics of yours, lol....and don't forget, not just the paper. If you have a laptop, they will get on top of your hands, and when I am at the desktop the biggest male baby comes in jumps on the desk, and after much rubbing and loving, lays his fat butt very sweetly on the desk between me and the keyboard, and puts his tail on top of the mouse!!

OK, let's put this another way. Once you get the cat to train you to do what it wants it will come to you. It will come to you when it is good and ready, but if you have learned well good and ready will come sooner, perhaps even immediately.

Actually I found that I almost never seemed to have to call a cat, when I walked in the door there they were. Perhaps it was the superior training I had.

My buddy Chip. He learned to navigate me, as a kitten he got up on the back of my couch and then got on my shoulder. He was really young but we let them out of the box, we wanted good cats, well socialised. There were cleanups but it wasn't too bad.

Well Chip decided to stay on my shoulder as I got up one day. As time went by he learned how not to dig into my shoulder anymore (we do not declaw, or well, not back then). We walked aroung the house and I am sure he thought this was a cool ride. Sometimes I would look at him and say "Which way ?" and follow his head movement. I am sure this freaked him out. He returned the favor by having kittens. I wonder how much that is a mile ?

And then there's Bob next door, he is some kind of cat dog hybrid or something. We call him a Kdog. When I first saw this post I thought maybe I could ask how to get a cat to leave you alone ?

OMG I just realized this, and I am not bullshitting. Hunter taught Bob the kdog to give paw. Of course Bob somply sees this as a way of communication and is willing.

Well Hunter does not live alone and I went over the other day to see the others. Well Bobo perched himself on the arm of the couch. I did not realize at the time because I am trying to talk to people, that Bob was holding out his paw, again and again.

You get this ? Bob was trying to teach ME to give paw.

We call Bob a Kdog because of the way he is, he can bark I hear, and he does a few other doglike things. He would be the perfect cat for a dog person. (want him ? ) I have heard his meow and I believe this, in fact I think Bob would be a very good candidate to be taught to be a talking cat, or Kdog whatever. He certainly wants to communicate.

Cats as a rule are very independant, and do not take well to training. But that tid bit is also coming from a Dog person.

They arent really known for learning to sit and beg, or anything of that nature.

That said....you can attempt what I did with My last stint with a cat....Twisted Cheetos...
I had a cat that would come to Me every time she heard the bag of chips rattle, didnt matter what kind, and she would sit at My feet, licking her chops the same way a dog would if it were begging....all because she was given ONE twisted cheeto.

Out side of that...I have to agree...you dont own the cat, the cat owns you...and will one day plot to steal your identity, along with your mortal soul, then over throw the world and there after the universe.

Cats are pets of the devil.

Dog is the way to go.

Also...you may want to try paper balls. Dunno why, as intelligent as they seem, they love paper balls.
