Do you want to flaunt your cat\u2019s cool skills in front of dog boasters and feel triumphant? If yes, follow the following steps to teach your kitty this cool trick of high five. You will need a clicker and lots of treats!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Choose a time when you kitty is ready to interact. Yes, they have the tendency to ignore! Sit with a handful of the pet\u2019s favorite treats. Make sure there is no other distraction that could divide your cat\u2019s attention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Now, make your kitty sit. Use the clicker to reinforce the \u201csit\u201d cue. Keep a treat on her head until she lands the butt on the ground. As she does this, click the clicker and treat her for following the \u201csit\u201d cue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Hold your hand slightly in front of her eyes. Do not forget to keep a treat in the hand. When she lifts her paw for the treat, use the \u201chigh-five\u201d cue and shake your hand. Click and treat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Lift, shake, click, treat, repeat! Repeat this religiously until you don\u2019t need to try hard for executing this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Try without the clicker and then cut the treats too. Conduct mini sessions regularly to not let the trick slip out of your feline\u2019s mind. Make sure you do not over do. End on a high note and not when your kitty stops reacting out of boredom!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Doesn\u2019t it sound easy? Try this trick as soon as possible and enjoy the games with her that you don\u2019t with your human friends. A high-five is all you need to show your excitement!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike dogs, cats are considered to be moody and non-learning type of pet.
