Article SummaryXIf you want to teach your cat to do tricks, find a treat that your cat likes, such as diced chicken or pieces of tuna. Give the cat a treat to get its attention, then get it to perform the trick, such as giving you its paw or having it sit. Give the cat a treat and praise each time it performs the trick, but keep the training session brief, about 5-10 repetitions. However, you can repeat a training session several times a day until your cat learns the trick. Keep reading for advice from our veterinary reviewer on how to teach your cat to sit!
