Clicker Training with Cats GB and I've been working on some basic training. Some might say cats don't need training, but I believe there are a lot of benefits in working with cats. It keeps them stimulated and builds bond and trust. Most cats enjoy mental exercises if paired with rewards. I do a short clicker session with GB, and he takes a long nap after--his mind exercised and belly full. It can be as good as physical exercise. Some trained behaviors can be used to diminish unwanted behaviors.
