The most traditional potty-training for a cat involves violence however that is unnecessary. In order to potty-train a cat, the procedure is to pick up the cat when it's young after every meal and every nap and place the cat onto the litter tray on top of the sand. Cats are apparently wired to recognize the sand and to know what the sand is for. If the cat does not do anything and just leaves the tray, then that is completely alright and the procedure should be repeated until the cat goes at least once at the litter tray. Once the cat goes once, it has been potty trained and the procedure can be cased.

Cats are capable of rudimentary language and communication and that varies depending on how much time has been vested in spending time with the cat as it grew up. Interestingly, however, the language seems to be species-wide and not localized to enducation There are certain queues and behaviors that comprise the communication corpus that a cat is capable of.

Note that cats are primarily territorial such that staring at cats for a long while will sooner or later garner some sort of response.

Cats also talk back to some degree and just like humans the syntax is to be found in the tonal modulation; that is, depending on how the pitch varies, certain different things might be meant.

A short-high pitched meow or several very short high pitched meows in quick succession is usually a sign of acknowledgment just like a non-verbal smiling queue and the meow is high pitched, often several meows and uttered in quick succession. A long whiny yelp is definitely a sign of pain or distress.

Observably The behavioural patterns seem consistent across the entire species, possibly even with extension to the feline family.

Cats are heavily carnivorous with the only exception being that from time to time they tend to ingest some forms of grass to help digestion.

Cats are very apt visually and auditively but their main long-term memorization takes place olfactively. A cat is said to forget a person's face in a matter of hours but they will remember the person's smell much much longer. This is somewhat different from a dog that will still use visual and audio queues to determine the identify of a person, even if both cats and dogs have smell as their most advanced sense.

Cats are trainable with the note that they do not respond well to punishment and typically do not understand punishment very well. Having said that, it is possible to train a cat using the other half of the traditional Pavlovian training method by just rewarding the cat with treats when it does what is desirable and foregoing the punishment.
