I will definitely start trying to gently train my kitties. My black cat will probably never work with me but my orange tabby would. He is very food motivated.

Even just little stuff, like sitting, coming when called can be a good start.

I have one cat that is very food motivated. I think I'll start with him. Maybe my other cat will get jealous and join.

That’s how the cats joined in.

We started because the Pitt/mix needed to wear some items of clothing (long story, she was this way before I adopted her).

When my significant other and I bought our house, the dogs and cats mixed, the the orange cat (snarf) saw the doing doing hats, he tried doing the tricks I was teaching him, to get treats too.

So we tried the hats, and over the course of a few months, all of the cats were joining in.

Now I bring out the ring light and a hat, and I have a full house at the bottom of the stairs.
