Have you ever wanted to teach your cat a fun, easy new trick in a few minutes with minimal effort? Felines are intelligent animals and can learn many cat tricks with a bit of patience and positive reinforcement. What Is This Trick? “Spin” is a fun, engaging cat trick you can enjoy with your feline friend. It’s one of our favorite clicker training cues because most cats learn it quickly.

If you have adopted a fearful cat from a shelter, rescued a scared stray, brought home a kitten that hasn’t been exposed to household sounds during the early socialization period, or have a purebred cat that feels anxious during thunderstorms, consider desensitizing your cat to these noises. This method can help reduce anxiety and promote a calmer life for your cat. We have created a short guide to help introduce your pet to frightening sounds in a controlled, positive way.

Cats have a reputation for being independent, peculiar, and emotionally distant. Yet many cat owners insist that their feline companions seem to recognise when they are anxious, frustrated, angry, or happy. I know that when I am feeling sad, some of my cats sense it and shower me with extra affection. New evidence and daily observations suggest that felines are far more emotionally discerning than once believed.
