Cats respond to operant conditioning

It's important to realize that cats are independent animals with minds of their own. They like to do what they like to do and won't give up pleasing habits easily.

They're a lot like humans.

However, they respond to operant conditioning like just about any other creature and this is what the Natural Scratch training system is based on.

First, Natural Scratch presents a stable and soft scratching target that cats like; second, it includes features that help humans interest their cat in the post if he or she doesn't take to it automatically; and third, it arrives with an instruction guide that teaches companions all they need to know about operant conditioning to train their cats.

Truly, it's a fun process and it works very well.
