Product Description
Perhaps you thought training a cat was an impossible task. Maybe you think your cat's too independent, too stubborn or too wild. Not so! In 50 Ways to Train Your Cat, author Sally Franklin's easy training methods keep feline instincts in mind. You can achieve wonderful results by working with your cat's nature rather than against it. At the same time you'll create a deeper bond with your cat through increased interaction and positive reinforcement. Among other things, your cat will learn to leave the curtains alone, climb up—and down!—a tree and get along with dogs. More precocious cats can try tricks like swimming and retrieving. Sally Franklin's methods proceed at a cat's own pace, and bring even the most difficult skills within your cat's reach. By spending just a few minutes each day, you'll make life with your cat easier, happier and more fulfilling.

Fun!

Taking the time to bond and train your cat is so fun and rewarding. She can "speak", "sit", "up", and working on "shake". Just do short sessions at a time, about 10 minutes.

Caution: One trick in this book is physically dangerous to your cat. Our vet said it is dangerous for a cat to stand-up on their back legs. Their hind legs can not support this activity. You will injure your cat. Please stop this trick. There are many, many other tricks cats can learn & not hurt themselves over time. PS Dog's hind legs can support standing-up - just not cats legs.

I found it lacking in detail, basically describing one way (positive reinforcement) used in 50 different applications. Much of the advice simply isn't practical.

Cats aren't Computers

This book seemed like most Computer books I read. Define the problem and then a procedural step by step list of how to "solve" the problem. It just seems cold, calulating and impersonal. This may work with computers, but not with something living. The book just lists the steps, and if your cat doesn't follow the steps listed, oh well.
The author also seems to be streaching to reach the 50 training tips mentioned in the title as most seemed to come natural to my cats or were common sense to me.
