“Training time!” That’s the call I make every day to Cinder. Except she’s not my dog like you might suppose. She’s my cat.

Like most adult cats, Cinder knows how to use the litter box and a scratching post. In other words, she doesn’t need training in the basics of pet protocol.

So I could just let her play with her numerous toys and take those long naps for which cats are famous. Instead I add training to her day.

The above post was part of a four-part series. The other articles in the series included:

• Teach a Cat to Sit and to Come
• Teach a Cat to Up and to Stay
• Teach a Cat to Jump and to Twirl

I wrote this post for Lincoln Animal Ambassadors, a volunteer organization committed to improving the lives of animals and alleviating cruelty in the local community where I live. Some of their offerings include a low-cost spay/neuter program, temporary assistance pet food bank, and education about being responsible pet guardians. The latter is where I mostly help. How do your train your cats?

Now that I’ve been blogging for Lincoln Animal Ambassadors for almost a year, I thought it time to introduce some of my pets. Over the summer, I introduced my readers to some of the cats, dogs, and guinea pigs that I’ve owned. In doing so, I also shared how they changed my life. Here are links to these articles:

• The Cat Who Turned Me Into A Cat-Lover!
• More than Stereotypes!
• How Guinea Pigs Got Me Into Pet Writing
