i am literally teaching my cat to understand a simple vocabulary of words that relate to places
there is scratch for the scratching post
sit for the comfy cat bed
seat for the couch
down for the floor
up for anything he can't see me point at
outside to get him to come outside
inside to do the reverse
gotta repeat them words, in the context, and he will remember and i will be able to eventually say those words and he will go to the things
it's quite comical, he is behaving like a bandit who has just opened up a cache of money right now, with these shellfish
he was not keen on it when it was warm but now it's moving to room temp he is munching out hard and occasionally looking backwards to see if any competitors are seeking to take his bowl of shellfish
the more he eats, the less he is alarmed, this is good
cat training is a lot of fun, i'm not gonna say i'm not enjoying figuring it out as much as he is enjoying my prescribed rewards
careful with that.
I don't know how cats' brains work, but really smart dogs can learn like 150 words.
That's why you should not spend the "slots" with things like different variations of their name. Or using different commands with the same meaning.
well, i think i've spent 9 slots so far, i bet kitties can understand at least 50
