One of the most useful (and easy) behaviors that you can teach your cat is to sit on cue. Not only will the sit behavior impress your friends, but teaching a sit helps manage unwanted behaviors, like being underfoot when you are preparing dinner (his or yours!) or begging at the dinner table. Teaching a cat to sit is very much like teaching a dog to sit. You will need a clicker and a high-value treat. For a cat, a high-value treat could be freeze-dried chicken or morsels of canned food or tuna.
