Training Tip: Train before meals, not after 🍽️➡️🐱 A slightly hungry cat is a motivated learner. Training just before a meal increases focus and engagement without causing frustration. 🎯 Why it works: Food motivation is highest when your cat is naturally ready to eat, making rewards more meaningful. 🦐✨ How to apply it: • Schedule training 10–15 minutes before meals ⏰ • Use part of their regular food or high-value toppers 🥩 • Keep it light, fun, and pressure-free 😺🎉 Motivation first, manners second—happy training wins every time. 🐾💪

This is an important one and very close to my heart after having Pickle diagnosed late last year, thankfully to these guys he's made a full recovery and looks like returning to what he loves best - tricks and people. Please get your photos in, there is a section for everyone from your humble rescue to your glamourous pedigree. It will help to raise funds for much needed treatment for cats and support for owners in time of crisis. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1WmGwtkVem/

Training Tip: Reward the moment, not the movement ⏱️✨ Cats learn by association. To build clear understanding, deliver the reward the instant your cat performs the desired behaviour—not after they move toward you or change position. 🎯 Why it works: Timing creates clarity. A reward given even one second late can reinforce the wrong action. ⛔🐱 How to apply it: • Use tiny, high-value rewards 🦐🥩 • Mark the behaviour immediately (a soft “yes” or click) ✔️🔔 • Keep sessions short: 2–3 minutes, end on a win 🕒🏆 Small moments, perfectly timed, build confident learners fast. 💡🐾
