Teach Your Cat Some Tricks : Jumping Pole

Image
Before teaching your cat to jump over a pole, you’ll need the right prop. In this case, the prop is a simple pole. You can be innovative when finding the perfect pole for your cat. A wooden dowel of 1 to 2 inches in diameter will work. Hollow cardboard tubes used for wrapping paper are also great for this trick. The first object I converted into a jumping pole was a cardboard tube that I wrapped with leopard-spotted paper for effect. It was perfect. Because you want to wow your audience, have a beginning to each trick. Starting the pole-jumping trick with your cat in a sitting position looks polished and formal. Start simple. First, ask your cat to sit, then place the pole on the floor for your cat to walk over. As she walks over it, capture the behavior by clicking and immediately treating.

Artificial Respiration and Heart Massage

Artificial respiration is an emergency procedure used to exchange air in an unconscious cat who is not breathing. Heart massage is used when no heartbeat can be heard or felt. When heart massage is combined with artificial respiration, it is called cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). When a cat stops breathing, heart function soon also stops, and vice versa.

Where to Find Your New Cat

Now that you’re sure you want to share your life with a cat, let’s examine the many sources out there for acquiring your new companion whether a kitten, an adult, a purebred, a mixed breed, long-haired, short-haired, male, or female. As I’m sure you’re well aware, cats aren’t in short supply. You could probably open up your back door and literally find one hanging out in the yard. I live on three acres and almost every morning I spot a different cat crossing through the field. While a great many people come across the cat of their dreams through rescue efforts, that method isn’t for everyone. The injured or starving cat you pickup from the roadside, or the one you rescue from the shelter ’s death row, may or may not turn out to be the friendly, trusting, well-socialized animal you’d hoped for. I’m certainly all for anyone who gives a cat a second chance at life, but you should make sure you know what you’re getting into. I want you and your cat to spend many, many happy ...
