  • Finding a treat in a cup and KNOCKING it over is a fun and easy way to overcome your cat's boredom - your cat will LOVE this game. In this game, I call CUPS (also called the shell game in dog training circles), your cat has the select the cup that has the treat. There are four levels and infinite possibilities to challenge your cat:
    • Add more cups
    • Switch the position of the cups
    • Distract the cat while you hide the treats
    • Flip the cups over
    Once your cat has CUPS to knock over, knocking over OTHER stuff in your house will be a thing of the past; if you give your cat a job to do, they will be less likely to look for employment (i.e., supervisor of knocking your stuff over in the house). Instead, they will be looking for their favourite CUPS to search for treats. When you are not playing the CUPS game, hide these little cups around the house with treats and toys inside. One set of cups provides so many opportunities to enrich your cat's life and strengthen your bond.
    Have fun training,

    Now the weather is getting cold and wet, my cat only go on short expeditions, her "mice farm" is almost out of mice. She spend her days complaining over the lack of food - according to her🤣 the food and foraging puzzles are boring and easy. No matter what I come up with. So now I've made an order for some cups. That should be a fun activity for us both.

    My cat enjoyed it first but when I increased the difficulty and she failed to find a right cup in a row several times, she got eventually super pissed off, bit my hand and walked away 😂😂😂😂😂

    I don't have a cat but my humorous thought was Level 10, let the cat watch you put treat under one of three cups, make them all the same color and give them a small switcharoo. Test the cat's memory. I mean why not, he made short work of that stuff. It'd make a fun video. 😊

    Hi Julie, am I understanding correctly that you are marking the cat putting his paw on the correct (treat containing) cup? Or knocking over the correct cup? Thanks

      I am marking the cat for touching the correct cup with their paw. The cat does not need to knock the cup over to get it right.

    I'm having a hard time getting my cat to understand that he needs to find and pick the right cup. He just knocks over a random cup and spends forever trying to find the nonexistent treat when he picks the wrong cup. Sometimes it takes a long time for him to remember/notice that there is another cup to try. I only click and treat once he gets it right, but so far he isn't showing any signs of being selective. He is very smart, very food motivated, and quick to pick up on many other tricks/games, but not this one yet. Do you have any advice? Thank you so much for your videos. My cat adores his training time!

    • @CatSchool
      @CatSchool  2 года назад

      Not for Levels 2 and 4. For levels 1 and 3, it's up to you. If your cat is very excited and knocks over all the cups without paying attention, it could be helpful for them to sit first.

    Just going to say this (from experience): it's all fun and games until your cat decides to knock over EVERY cup it sees-- and you have to watch out that your drinks don't get spilled every time you turn around. Now-- how to teach them NOT to knock over cups??? Lol
