positive reinforcement. Good words used, the cat's name, and the
behavior the cat is doing. Treats are another way of showing
your cat a positive reinforcement for good behavior. Use small
treats; you do not want them to have a full meal when training
them. Later after the positive

dinner.
Training your cat to be on a leash or wear a collar can take
time. Two weeks should be set a side to do the training. Do not
every start training a cat for a behavior and stop. If you ever
want to start, again the cat can become confused and very
stressful. If the cat gets sick or an illness, this it self will
be stressful on a cat and you will have to stop the training. At
