Many times it is more difficult for us to train cats than for dogs. Is it lower IQ for cats than for dogs? Obviously not. There is a lot of evidence that the IQ between cats and dogs is almost the same. What causes cat training difficulties?

But you must be clear that many times, the cat lies in the owner's arms out of his voluntary behavior, not obeying you. When it wipes its owner with its head and body, it makes a soft meow, it is just because it is hungry, wants to eat, or some requests that people cannot understand.

Of course, cats are not completely untrainable. Cats are very smart and can learn a lot of movements and behaviors. If the kitten starts training from five to six months old, some results can still be achieved.

For example, you can train cats to open the door, stretch their claws, roll, hold objects, and fix them to excrete in a certain place. Kittens are highly dependent and have strong plasticity during this period, so they need to step up training to form habits. Otherwise, after the cat grows to one year old, its personality gradually increases and it is no longer willing to obey human training.
