Cat Training
It is a common misconception to assume that cats do not require formal training. Though they tend to wander at will and live in an empire all their own, cats need to understand that the human is the decision maker and leader. This applies both to rules about the house, as well as rules at play. Cats also need to be house broken, whether that means using the kitty litter box, or even being trained to use the toilet. In this section we not only discuss key areas of training that a cat must experience, but also the training possibilities you and your kitty can explore. Having a well-trained cat will significantly change your experience anytime you and your cat venture in public, on road trips, or on visits to the vet.
