Everyone loves it when I wave bye-bye! And I’m surprised that more cats don’t know how to do this trick. It is very easy to learn if you are already having training sessions with your cat. Let me show you how I did it.
It all started when I learned to high five. So I’m used to using my feet to do tricks and get treats.
So my person just needs to transfer the movement to the opposite leg. And instead of me touching his hand with my foot, he gave me an “air high five”. Of course I didn’t understand at first that I really shouldn’t touch her foot.
Once I got the idea that I only had to raise my foot when he said “Wave” to get the treat, it was just a matter of him moving his hand away. And with the actual waving of his hand as a signal, he encouraged me to move my foot like him. Because the phrase “copy cat” exists for a reason!
You can see a video of my learning process below. Plus some other fun my guy added so you can see how much fun I have with my video and my training sessions.
