Training cats requires patience and long-lasting efforts. Here are some ways to train cats to follow their summons:
Create positive associations: First, cats need to establish positive associations with summoning sounds. A specific summoning sound can be used while feeding or playing, and the cat is rewarded in time. Over time, the cat will begin to associate the sound with the reward and begin to react to the sound.
Gradually increase distance: At the beginning, the cat can respond to the summoning sounds closer to it. Gradually increase the distance so that the cat can respond to the call even farther away from it.
Don't use punishment: Do not use punishment when training a cat to obey the call. This may cause negative emotions in the cat and reduce the training effect. Instead, rewards and praises should be used to encourage cats.
Continuous practice: Training a cat requires long-lasting effort. It is recommended to perform a few short training sessions a day to keep the cat actively responding to the summoning sound.
It should be noted that cats are not as easy to train as dogs, so they require more patience and time. At the same time, cats also have their own personalities and habits and may not necessarily obey human instructions completely. Therefore, training cats to obey the call requires taking it slowly and not being too impatient or anxious.
