Can I train my cat with treats?
Yes. While cats are more independent than dogs, many can learn tricks and behaviours with consistency and the right motivation. Some owners have success training cats to respond to words, be taught to sit, and even be trained to enter their cat carrier. Here are some training tips for successful training:
- Use high-reward cat food treats like freeze-dried or soft treats
- Timing is everything: Train after naps or meals when your cat is alert but not too hungry, but keep sessions short (just a few minutes).
- Be consistent: Use the same command and reward every time.
- Be patient and consistent: Stay positive, cats respond better to gentle encouragement than discipline.

What is a good treat for a cat?
Choose treats with high meat content and minimal additives. Many cats enjoy soft chicken-based treats from brands like Dreamies or Lily’s Kitchen. It depends on your cat’s preferences and dietary needs.

Should I give my cat treats every day?
Yes, but only in moderation. Treats should make up no more than 10% of your cat’s daily calorie intake. If you’re using treats during training, consider adjusting their regular food portions. For personalised advice, it’s best to consult your vet.
