15 Simple Ways to Enhance your Cat's Creative Potential

1. Play interesting games with your cat using bright coloured balls.

2. You can also use bright coloured woollen strings to play games.

3. Cats are very sensitive to light, colour, sound and rhythm. Play soothing music everyday an hour before you begin your training session every day. The music will help to calm you and your cat and will help to radiate positive energy.

4. Paint the walls of your house in bright, attractive colours and make sure that the decor of your room has a lot of interesting patterns and designs in attractive colours. This will subconsciously sensitise your cat to colours, textures, and patterns.

5. You can also make a lot of attractive cards ( 5'' x 7" ) using card paper and coloured photographs of dogs, other cats, birds trees, mice, butterflies, earthworms, caterpillars, frogs, lizards and other commonly used objects in everyday life. In the beginning, it may be better to use coloured photographs as these are the ones that most closely correspond to reality. The most basic concept that your cat needs to be able to understand is that the images on the cards represent abstractions of images that occur in the real world. To understand that the creatures on the paper are not real would take your cat some time to grasp. Keep flashing them in front of your cat and observe your cat's response to them. In a few weeks time, (some cats may take a few days while others may take a few months), your cat will learn to understand and identify the objects and images that you flash in front of your pet. You need to be patient with your pet. It takes time to learn and understand.

6. Encourage your cat to watch television, especially the nature programmes where there are a lot of animals and birds and also the special shows for cats.

7. The best time to develop your cat's creative inclinations, is during the kitten days. Kittens are very curious, playful and learn very fast. Adult cats too can be taught and do learn quite fast.

8. Always use bright coloured contrasting clothes when you are training your cat. That subconsciously sensitises your cat to colours.

9. Show your cat lots of interesting patterns - repeating geometrical patterns, black and white lines, designs in single blocks of colours, interesting motifs of animals and birds. Remember cats see in colour.

10. Keep a small palette of colours and throw little blobs of paint on a white sheet of paper

11. Allow your cat to play on the paper and observe the patterns that begin to emerge.

12. Use a soft and affectionate tone of voice when you teach your cat. Do not be judgmental about your cat's creative talents.

13. Remember to praise your cat every time he or she responds in a positive way.

14. Always arrange for a feed immediately after a training session.

15. Make sure that your training sessions do not last for more than 15 minutes.
