Can you teach a cat to fetch?

It depends on the cat, but you should start training it when it is a kittes. My cat is an adult so it doesnt fetch, but when I first got her, I bought a cat encyclopedia. Fetch is a dfficult game to play with cats, but if you want it to stay or come, tempt it with a treat. Repeat that for a few days/weeks until you dont have to tempt it with a treat – the cat will learn to come based on your hand movement (the ‘giving’ position).

Hope it helps!

If you want a cat that plays fetch… I know one for sale. He actually plays fetch with sticks and it’s so cute! :)

Remeber you don’t own a cat, a cat owns you … not the easiest creatures to train. Definately got a mind of their own…

‘you’ve never been ignored untill you’ve been ignored by a cat’

‘if you want to find the best seat in the house, just look for the cat’

i’m a cat lover/rescuer… i have managed to get them to understand the word ‘NO’ and they do know by the tone of my voice when they are being told off and will speak /meeow if required for special food treats… so keep trying and you may get there in the end.

It depends on the cat. I used to have a cat that loved to play with balls of wadded up aluminum foil. He’d bat it around the room and chase after it. After a minute or two, he’d pick it up and carry it over to me to have me throw it so he could chase is again. This would go on for 30-40 minutes until he’d get tired. When ever he wanted to play he’d let me know by bringing me one of his “toys” and dropping it at my feet.

I didn’t train him to do it, it just evolved into something we did.

It started with me tossing the foil at the garbage can and missing.

If your cat has a favorite toy you might see if you can throw it and have him chase it. Good luck!

i heard you can teach and train cats anything BUT you have to start when they’re kittens, at least 8 weeks.

depands on the cat but yeah u can mine plays fetech with his toy mosue

The thing with cats is they will not do anything they don’t want to.

i also had a cat that played fetch, i ddnt train him, he just started to do it himself, he used to bring me a rolled up crips packet, that was its fav toy lol, i think it depands on the cat! try the crips packet rolled up in a ball!
