What is it?
Bonding with your cat means that you
provide for your cat's natural
behavioral needs while developing a
means of better communication
between the species (feline and
human) that enriches your
relationship with your pet.
It's important to write down a list of
words and hand signals that you and anyone else in the household
commit to using to communicate with
your cat.
Provide 80% of your cat's food in
food puzzles - to provide both
physical and mental activity - with
the rest used for hand feeding for
bonding and teaching vocabulary.

When pets misbehave, most
often, there is a failure to
communicate. |
How to start?
Begin by sitting
quietly and tossing food treats to
your cat. Toss kibble when your cat
is very hungry. Toss the treats
closer and closer to you as the cat
becomes more comfortable and will
approach for the kibble or treat.
When your cat
associates you with the food, begin
to place a treat on your open hand
and put it on the ground for your
cat to approach. Praise your cat in
a soothing voice for taking the
treat.
