 | |  | | Hi kitties! I am Jubilee, and my pal Leopold invited me to help administrate this group! I am so glad to see new kitties here! YAY!!! 
My mom always wanted to train my big sis Spike (Spike did a great job of training Mom, though  ), but ironically Mom only first read about clicker training at about the same time that Spike got sick and went to the Bridge. So she determined that she would clicker-train her next cat -- me! She ordered Karen Pryor's book and some clickers and studied up, before she even got me.
Hi Diego! Great to see you! You are a super-smart guy, and I know you will take to clicking really fast! Maybe your mom could use your regular food as treats, and just do your training right before your breakfast or dinner when you're hungry? (My attention span is amazing when I want food, and I'm also less picky about my treats if I'm actually hungry.)
Frankie and Xavier, sounds like your moms have their work cut out for them!  Nighttime hijinks were a problem she never did solve with Spike, and wants to avoid with me, so I look forward to us all sharing what works (and what doesn't ) in this area! |  |  | |  |

. I joined because I always whine 2 hours before my dinner time and I whine at 1:30am and 4:00am because I want my Mommy and Daddy up to play and want someone in the kitchen while I eat my dry food. My bad boy squirt bottle no longer works because I think it's a fun game. My Mommy has dark circles under her eyes from lack of sleep. Poor Mommy
