Everyone is happy when I wave goodbye! And I’m surprised that more and more cats don’t know how to do this trick. It is very easy to learn if you have already done training sessions with your cat. Let me show you how I did it.
It all started when I learned how to high-five. So I got used to using my paws to do tricks and get treats.
Therefore, my human only had to transfer the movement to the opposite leg. And instead of letting me touch her hand with my paw, she gave me an “air high five.” Of course, at first I didn’t understand that I shouldn’t actually touch her feet.
Once she understood the idea that when she said “wave bye” to get a treat, all I had to do was raise her paw, it was just a matter of her moving her hand further away. By actually waving her hand, I encouraged her to move her legs like she did. Because the word “copycat” exists for a reason.
You can watch a video of my learning process below. Plus, there are other fun things my humans have added so you can see how much I enjoy both the videos and the training sessions.
