Mine sure are bored and I'd love to clicker train em There is a great Yahoo group called Cat-Clicker, and there is a very good book/kit by Karen Pryor on clicker training called "Getting Started: Clicker Training for Cats" Orchid See Orchid's Kitties! -- http://nik.ascendancy.net/bengalpage Want a Purebred Cat? Read This! -- http://nik.ascendancy.net/orchid > Hey > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > I think that I think, > therefore I think that I am. The book Orchid mentioned is available from www.amazon.com. Enter "clicker training" in their search box, and you will find a list of books, supplies, videos, etc. -- all related to clicker training.

She wrote a book about it too.. Weird... next you can clicker train your snake or your bunny or your kids!

Well, I tried to get some info from clickertraining.com, but I think she was off doing seminars. I wanted to go to her seminar but they were many hundreds of dollars, alas. Finally, got tired of waiting for a reply for an email about sending a check so just borrowed the book, brand new and unused, from my library, HOT DAMN! Lots of good info she has in her book, Karen Pryor. Others have some info too. Wendy Jeffries has info in her Yahoo clicker cat group. I find it does work. Fortunately my cat likes kibble so I don't have to mess with the spoon and wet food or fingers. CAUTION, if using wet food, buy a BABY SPOON so your cat in its eagerness does not break a tooth. I noticed the professional trainers using the very soft baby spoons, cute too, the spoons and the trainers. Very Friskies oriented, he-he. > Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum -- > I think that I think, > therefore I think that I am. Someone is doing a lot of cogitation, lately, but Descartes might be wrong. Thinking is not always thinking although it leads one to think that one is thinking. > > Thanks! I was looking for something free thought.. hehe..

All I know is what I read and your explaination sounds better than mine. Must be a philsopy major. I only got a certificate in Customer Service.

But customer service sounds so sexy - if they let you out of the cubicle. I liked your improvement over Descartes who only had Cogito ergo sum which probably means: Having thought, therefore, I am (exist). Oops, here comes my cat, time to feed her. She's trilling. Gotta go. > > > Ah, free. Well, I tried to get some info from clickertraining.com, > > > but I think she was off doing seminars.

No Cubicle no more!! heh I got outta that raquet a year ago. I've been workin in retail ever since and I love it. I love the people I work with. I love the customers!! Even though their mostly contractors. I work for the best damn Home Improvment company out there. I'm quite happy. The company I used to work for sucked big time!! Lot's of people in cliches who if you weren't part of the cliches you weren't promoted. As they say it's not who you know it's who you well you get the picture.

I don't know about clickers, but I do know that a BB gun works very well in cat training. They learn very quickly to listen to me or *pop* MREEOOOOWWWWWWRRRREEEOOOOW. A clicker just aggravates the cats they need to know who the boss is. James Marz > I don't know about clickers, but I do know that a BB gun works very > well in cat training.

Bet the cat laughed its a.s off when you slid across a BB on the floor and fell on your butt. A bit too rough, though, the cat would then avoid you as opposed to trying to do what you say (this works fine if the command you're using is "get the hell out"). Otherwise the trick to negative-reinforcement (if you believe in that) and cats is to piss them off... take the cat off the kitchen counter where it knows it shouldn't be and rub its fur the wrong way so it has to spend 20 minutes putting all its hair back in place. pat > > I don't know about clickers, but I do know that a BB gun works very > > well in cat training.

But don't try this if you have more than one cat because the other cats will want to be done that way too. Cats just hate it if one cat gets all the special attention. James Marz > > Hey > > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > James Marz Ouch! wouldn't that hurt the cat? My husband cries a lot when I shoot him with the BB gun. But it is fun! Tina > Hey > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > I think that I think, > therefore I think that I am. They are really good at clicker traing cats at 10th life. Maybe you would consider taking your cats there Tina. Maria > > Hey > > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Maria Well i could but that would probably cost me an arm and leg conisdering it's probably somewhere in the states or europe and I'm in Canada. So .. I don't really have the money's to travel. So 10th life it isn't. Tina > Hey > > I bought a clicker today and I wanted to know how you clicker train your > cat.

I'm not the expert on this my husband knows MUCH more about this so when he gets off work 2:30 PST I'll ask him about it and then post when he knows. From what I know is that the clicker is used and then a treat is given when the training is done properly? I can't recall. I'll ask my husband. Someone mentioned the Yahoo group they can probably give you a lot more help then I can :) Good luck with the clicker training. It wasn't successful for me, I have very stubborn cats. They looked at me "Are you crazy? You want me to do what? You do it. I'm taking a nap." - Leigh :) > > Hey > > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > - Leigh :) It's not going to well but I keep trying. I had one he was able to sit on command but since we got a companion for him he gives me the are you crazy look. I should try wet kitty food. They like that.. I'll keep trying and keep you posted!! Thanks!! Tina Signature--- Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum -- I think that I think, therefore I think that I am.
