In case you’re wondering why Fred tagged me here, Fred has this perverse cat training theory where he claims if he got my Siamese cats soon enough, he could train them not to get in to shit, be curious, explore essentially, their genetic make up, their true nature that is not only instinctual but highly entertaining.

So since he has re-interjected me into this argument, I ask you Fred, what would you do to train such animals to behave contrary to their natural instinct, something they enjoy, and second why would you want to even do that?

All of my cats have had free reign of the house pretty much all the time. When they chose to sleep in the bed it was usually at the foot but our last kitteh liked to sleep curled up between the two stacks of pillows. Except for occasionally waking up to the sound of a hairball ejection in progress they never disturbed me at night. I never had to do anything consciously to achieve that, it's just how they all turned out. Guess I'm just a natural.

So you don’t have any method behind your now non theory, just let them roam?

All cats require training. Like with any other behavior, you have to let them know what is acceptable and what isn't. You teach them not to scratch the furniture, not to scratch and bite you, etc. Cats are creatures of habit and once they develop a daily ritual they tend to stick to it. I have never had to consciously train any cat not to keep me awake at night, it just naturally falls out of all the general training that takes place.

In any case, locking your kittehs up at night is one more reason you are @UniqueDoug

You still haven’t revealed any of your methods to train Siamese kittens to go against their natural instinct.

Perhaps a refresher of the exchange would help
