Everybody loves it when I wave bye-bye! And I’m surprised more cats don’t know how to do this trick. It’s really easy to learn if you are already having training sessions with your cat. Let me show you how I did it.
It all started when I learned how to give high fives. So I was used to using my paws to do tricks and get treats.
So my human just needed to transfer the movement to the opposite paw. And instead of having me touch her hand with my paw, she had me do an “air high five.” Of course I didn’t understand at first that I wasn’t supposed to actually touch her paw.
Once I got the idea that I just needed to raise my paw when she said “Wave bye-bye” to get the treat, it was only a matter of her moving her hand farther away. And by actually waving her hand as a signal, it encouraged me to move my paw like her. Because the phrase “copy cat” exists for a reason!
You can see a video of my learning process below. Plus some other fun that my human added in so you can see how much I enjoy both my video and my training sessions.
