Michelle Fern is joined by Certified Feline Training and Behavior Specialist Molly DeVoss about turning shelter cats from scared and shut down to adoptable as well as how to train your own kitties using Vitakraft Lick ‘n Lap cat treats. Cat treats are not only a great healthy addition to cats’ diets, adding in nutrients, but are also a wonderful training and bonding tool. A happy, well behaved, and healthy cat means a happy and healthy family. Also, when cats are loved and well trained, the chances of them ending up in the street or shelter are much lower. Too many cats are left uncared for and thus cats have the highest euthanasia rate.EPISODE NOTES: Teaching Tips With Treat TrainingBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cattitude-the-1-cat-podcast--6666768/support.

What would happen to your pet if you went to the hospital unexpectedly? If you lost your housing? If you left a domestic violence situation?
