In today's video, we're going to talk about the Top 10 Trainable Cat Breeds.


Cat training isn’t as common as with dogs, but if you have a cat who’s easily trainable, the possibilities can be endless. In fact, there are cat breeds that can be easy to train. “Cats are really easy to train because they are extremely smart,” says Pam JohnsonBennett, a certified behaviorist and owner of Cat Behavior Associates in Nashville, Tennessee. Understanding their natural instincts can help when it comes to training in play, behavior, and even travel.

“The key is to remember that all behaviors, even the ones you don’t like, serve a purpose for the cat,” JohnsonBennett says. “Instead of viewing behavior as misbehavior, look at it as a clue for you to figure out what the cat is trying to tell you. For example, if the kitty is scratching the sofa, he’s not doing it to be destructive. Cats have a natural need to scratch, and he may have chosen the sofa because the scratching post is either ineffective or placed in the wrong location.” Although every feline companion has potential, there are 10 top cat breeds known to be naturals when it comes to training.


Abyssinian.

Outgoing, affectionate, and friendly, the Abyssinian is so intelligent that games of fetch and plenty of exercise can help channel her energy. Many of them can learn to walk on a leash and harness, and some can even do cat tricks. The more interaction your Aby receives, the better off and happier she will be. Because this breed is so lively and curious, training and regular interaction help them focus, have fun and direct their behavior in ways that keep everyone happy. A love of heights is a signal trait of the Abyssinian. He likes to be as high up as possible and will appreciate having one or more ceilingheight cat trees.


Japanese Bobtail.

On an energy scale of 1 to 10, the Japanese Bobtail is about an 11. In addition to their gogogo personalities, they are known to be smart and love attention from their families and strangers alike. Their high energy and love for interaction can be directed easily and makes for a very trainable cat. With some praise and rewards, these Bobtails are ideal companions for homes that thrive on quality time with their pets.

When he’s not telling you about his day or asking about yours, he is very likely carrying around a favorite toy or splashing his paw into your koi pond or aquarium. He likes playing with water, so you may find your faucets turned on or puddles beside his water dish.


American Shorthair.

The American Shorthair has a calm, even demeanor that lends itself to learning. In fact, their capacity for learning makes them ideal for acting and modeling roles because they respond so well to positive reinforcement. You may recognize the American Shorthair’s distinctive silver tabby pattern from television commercials and print ads. Their personalities are just as sparkling as their looks are photogenic. The adaptable and goodnatured American Shorthair retains his hunting ability, but these days he is more likely to be a family companion.


Maine Coon.

The gentle giant of the cat world is known for her laidback disposition and ability to adapt to almost any situation. It’s believed that the Maine Coon sailed to America from England or Scandinavia on ships with seafarers sailing to the New World. Since then, they have survived centuries of harsh weather, rodent hunting in barns, and expanding industry. Now safely relaxing in comfortable family homes, the sharp intelligence and adaptability they honed over the centuries can be used to learn specific traits.

The Maine Coon tends to love people of all ages and is eager to please, picking up new tricks quickly and easily. They’re affectionate without being needy, they’re adaptable, and they’ve kept their hunting instincts, just in case you need a good mouser. If you can handle a whole lot of cats, this kitty might be a perfect addition to your family.
