5:10 - Cat Training Isn’t About Control, It’s About Relationship
Description
Cats are often labeled as stubborn, aloof, difficult, or untrainable — but what if we’ve been looking at cat behavior all wrong?
In this episode, I sit down with Misty from Fellow Creatures to talk about trust, communication, enrichment, and what it really means to work with our cats instead of trying to control them.
We explore how training can strengthen the bond between cats and humans, why choice and agency matter so much, and how understanding behavior through a different lens can completely transform our relationships with our cats.
