Tricks

 * 1) Give paw: Give paw is an easy trick, the best trick to be taught first. Let your cat sniff his/her treat. Then lift up their paw and give their treat to them. Repeat this a few times during about a week's sessions (one a day), and then make your cat lift up their paw on their own.
 * 2) Two Legs: Let your cat sniff his/her treat. Lift the treat above their heads and make them reach up for it. Practise this a lot and your cat will soon do it when they see their treat above their head.
