Question by Eileen: How would I go about training my cat to throw up and pass hairballs in the litter box?
She’s been throwing up and passing hairballs a lot lately. I’m afraid to pick her up to move her to a better place to do it when she starts the gagging process. She’s a VERY fat, heavy cat and I’m afraid I’ll hurt her or just squeeze it out faster.

Answer by StefanZ
Sure, it is possible to train cats, although it is not common.
You can try with clicers. Some do.
Remember, cats ARE more personal than dogs. They obey you not because you are their master, they obey you if they consider you their DAD.

Question by The Lilodian: How difficult is having / training both a cat and a dog?
I would love to, someday, have both a cat and a dog, since I love both cats and dogs. Assume that I will be single and alone at home, so there’s no one else to take care of them, just me. How easy / difficult will it be to train both ? Note that I want to get them both as lil babies. Also, which one should I get first ? I’m guessing I shouldn’t get both at the same time, otherwise it’ll be like having two newborn babies.

Answer by Skyyblue
having a dog is a 24hr job. you need to establish the leadership role and create rules, boundaries, and limitations. make sure you walk it at least a hour a day with the dog beside you or behind you. train it. and give exercise first then discipline then affection and you only give your dog affection when it is calm and submissive. if you don’t do the above things you WILL have a dog that has behavior issues, either they will destroy things or attack people and/or animals, and if you aren’t willing to do the above things then you shouldn’t have a dog, because the above mention thing you aren’t ready to have a dog to begin with.
oh cats are a breeze to teach them to use a litter box.

Question by Aly: Advice on clicker training a young adult cat?
I adopted a 3 year old cat named Penny about 3 months ago. My adoption agent had mentioned that clicker-training can be real rewarding for a cat. She doesn’t have any behavioral problems but thought it might be a fun bonding experience! I’ve been looking up books, starter kits, etc. Any advice or experiences you could share would be great.
Oh, please no comments on how cats are ‘independent’ and not trainable. She already comes when called by name and follows direction pretty easily.

Most people assume cats can’t be trained just b/c it’s not easy like w/ goofy dogs LOL. Cat’s CAN be trained you just need a willing cat and patients. They also need some form of reward. You should also know what can and can’t be preformed per cat:)
I’m in the process now of clicker training my cat to stay off of objects and area I don’t want her in or on. I’m also teaching her to jump or come when called w/ the clicker. The key point I use is 1 click for up and 2 for off. I reward her w/ a treat each time she does as I want. I use a combo of soft voice commands, click, then reward if she does it right. My cat is just over a year old and seems like she’s picking it up. Everything I’ve read says in time I wont need the clicker daily but only to re-instill lost commands or refresh her:) I’m doing her teaching daily or as needed when she thinks she can get on the kitchen counter or claw my drapes. I’m also considering buying the book, “Clicker Training for Cats,” by Karen Pryor, this however might not be needed since my cat seems to catch on quick. Maybe I’ll just barrow it from the library.
Good luck and don’t believe the hype that cat’s can’t be trained.

Question by CartoonFreak1985: How do I go about litterbox training an adult cat?
I have had my cat for 14 years, he’s still healthy and running around… well I had him litter box trained for the first 4 years. Then he just started going outside and using the restroom. The only problem is that I’m moving from a house in the country to an apartment in the city. I’m afraid to let him out to roam around… I won’t be moving for about another 2-3 months. Is there anyway I can possible re-train him in the litterbox?
Best answer:
Answer by Sailor courtney
yeah it may sound gross but take one of his poops from outside and put it in the litter box. then when he comes inside set him in the litter box so he gets the scent. it’s a natural instinct for cats to bury their poo so he’ll get the hang of it in no time. i had new born kittens use the litter box all by themselves with out training. (not when they were first born but after they were old enough to walk around…but the point is i had them since they were born)

Cat:
A good scolding with a meaningful “NO!”
Not hurting it or anything but a little tap on the nose with something because eventually he won’t care about water.
