Cats may not always be willing to take orders from their owners, but that doesn't mean that training isn't possible. Start by setting yourself up as an alpha leader and then providing treats when your cat complies with your requests.  Additionally, you can use positive reinforcement where you praise your cat when it does something right. Spending time playing and interacting with your cat in a respectful way also goes a long way in encouraging obedience. Finally, consistency is key—be sure to follow through on all rewards or disciplinary actions every time so that your cat knows what to expect.

Some tips for training your cat to be more obedient include providing motivation and rewarding desired behaviors with treats, making the commands short and simple, teaching them separately in multiple sessions, redirecting undesired behaviors with distractions or counter-intuitive approaches such as petting despite his wrongdoings, setting boundaries and using tact in doing so while being firm at the same time, communicating assertively while staying calm. These tips will set you on your way to cat heaven - a well-behaved cat!
