oh, I have!
my smartest cat, Cotton, has learned all sorts of tricks. Or rather, she’s trained me to give her treats when she does certain things ;)
I use a clicker, so she knows the exact moment she did the right thing. Plus, take it just one step at a time - click at first when your cat raises her paw. then a little higher, then comes near your hand, etc. they won’t get the whole trick at once.
oh, and before that - click and give a treat so she knows clicking is a good sound. later, you can postpone the treat because she’ll know the click already said she did something good. you can get cheap little clickers for $1 at PETCO or PETsMART.
thanks, I’ll keep working on it,, but she refuses any treats I have tried. Have to get a clicker...
