Cat’s generally respond better to shorter, pleasant-sounding names.  While you might have your heart set on “Princess FluffyBottom McPhee,” you should probably shorten it to “Fluffy” for training purposes.  If you are adamant that your cat’s moniker “Sir William the Vicious of Belvedere” cannot be shortened, you could just train him to come to “kitty.”  Don’t change your cat’s name once it has become used to it. This will just confuse the cat. The introduction of new nicknames can also confuse your cat.  Consistency is key. You can start training your cat when it is still a kitten, and the younger the cat is, the more receptive it will be to learning its name.  An older cat can still learn new tricks, of course, but perhaps not as quickly. Remember that verbal praise is not going to impress or motivate your cat. Instead, you need to provide immediate, tangible rewards that your cat enjoys.  A cat will always appreciate a tasty food treat like a bit of tuna or cheese, a spoonful of wet food, or a commercial cat treat.  Cats will also respond to nonfood rewards if it’s something they really enjoy, like a bout of laser pointer tag, or a hearty scratch behind the ears.  The kind of reward that works best will depend on the cat, so prepare to do some experimentation. Make sure you have enough kitty treats on hand to get through the training process. Dogs are easy to train because they are social creatures that want to please humans, and feel rewarded by a simple “Good dog!” or other verbal praise.  Most cats, on the other hand, are less concerned about what you think of them, and more interested in what you are going to do for them.  Cats respond well to rewards and can readily learn new tricks if you are patient with them and offer them something they really want when they do well.
