Because the training methods of cats and dogs are inconsistent, dogs have relatively higher IQs than cats and are more obedient, so dogs are easier to train than cats. Cats always have their own ideas. So what is the best way to train a Siamese cat?

Siamese Cat

1. Force

Forcing means using mechanical stimulation and threatening commands to make the cat perform corresponding actions accurately. For example, when training a cat to lie down, the trainer will press the cat down with his hands while giving the "lie down" command, forcing the cat to lie down. After repeating this several times, the cat will soon form a conditioned reflex to lie down. . When using this method with cats, the intensity of stimulation must be controlled, because cats often feel self-righteous and will eat soft food rather than hard food.

​2. Induction

Induction refers to using food, objects or the trainer's actions to induce the cat to perform a certain action. It is more suitable to use induction training method to train kittens.

3.Rewards

Reward is to strengthen the cat’s correct actions, consolidate the formed conditioned reflex or regulate the cat’s neural activity state. Reward methods include food, praise and caressing, etc. Reward and coercion must be combined to be effective. Every time the cat is forced to perform a correct action, a reward must be given immediately. The level of rewards should gradually increase with the difficulty of training. It should be noted that if the rewards are too frequent or the conditions are too low, it is easy for the kitten to develop a psychological habit of being disinterested in minor rewards.

​4. Punishment

Including scolding, intimidation, beating, etc. Once a cat is found to have a certain bad habit, punishment methods should be used promptly. This will prevent the cat from feeling fearful or bored with the training.
