Cats are intelligent animals that can be trained! If you find the right way to work with them, you can teach them wonders. And compared to dogs, house training a cat can be a relatively easy task.
Your kitten or adopted cat may surprise you with clever antics like fetching or slam-dunking toys. Is it possible to teach cats to do other tricks? Here are some tips on cat trick training in this video.
Aside from your enjoyment of cat antics, teaching cats to do tricks or follow commands helps keep your pet active, engaged, and responsive.

The smartest cats are thought to have an IQ equivalent to a 2- or 3-year-old human. Like Humans, Cats Can Store an Array of Memories. They have spatial memory, remembering where things are located, short-term memories, and long-term memories.
Your cat’s memory is likely to last about 16 hours. However, it is important to keep in mind that your cat will have longer-term memories that stick, as well. For instance, if they experienced something traumatic, this is likely to stick with them for their entire life.
