Welcome back!

Cat training is one of the most debated topics when it comes to cats.

One group says there is no way you can train a cat, they have a mind of their own and you’re not going to change it.

On the other side of the coin, is the group that says yes it is possible and we’re not going to stop until we accomplish it.

In Genesis 2:28 God gave man dominion over the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Going into all the biblical proportions that that entails is beyond the scope of this article. But I do believe that a cat falls into the category of a living thing that moves upon the earth. Don’t you?

With that said, of course a cat can be trained. The big question then is will we as owners learn to walk in dominion. We need to understand that training a cat is different then training a dog or other animal. Dominion remains the same but the ways in which that dominion is exercised will be different based on the animal.

So we’ve established that cat training is possible. What we hope is for all cat owners to understand that and begin to move in that direction. It will make for happier owners and kitties.

Why is training important? Cat training promotes good behavior in your cat and allows for us to all live peaceably together. Just like raising children, if the children aren’t trained properly, then the behaviour you get isn’t the best either.

It’s easier to train a cat if you start when they are a kitten. So learning how when they’re little is best. I know what you’re thinking. But what about me, my cat is older, is there any hope for me. Yes there is. Age isn’t as much the issue as your desire, patience and dominion is.

If you have a cat now. Just think of all the behavioral issues that you would like corrected. Walking on counters, scratching up furniture, cat spraying, not using the litter box, thinking nighttime is the time to play and make noise, etc. etc.

Cat psychologists are becoming more and more popular and they are often able to help. The cost can be high and unaffordable to many. Plus the fact that it’s not all about training the cat. A lot has to do with training us the owners. If I trained your cat and didn’t teach you how to train and maintain what was accomplished, then eventually kitty would go back to his old ways and we would have gained nothing.

Training your cat will take time, persistence, patience and most of all the wisdom to know how.

Knowing it’s possible is the first step and we hope to be able to help you and encourage your on your journey to having all of your kitties well trained and what you will learn in the process will be extremely valuable to you in many other areas.
