2) Teach your cat to hop on your shoulder on their own

With clicker training and positive reinforcement, training a cat is easy. For Mia, my bengal cat, and I the process of training her to jump on my shoulder took 2 weeks. It's not a lot considering how life chaning this cat trick is.

I teach my cat Lumi for the same amount of time, but I am in a wheelchair on a daily basis, and when I go out in my wheelchair Lumi stays on my shoulder.

I started this training last night. My poor girl would either crane her neck way over my shoulder to eat or if I moved the bowl too far she would jump down. I finally got her to put her paws on my shoulder by laying face down on the floor and draping a mat she's already trained to sit on, on my back. Sometimes I'm glad no one's watching me train. Today she would eat with her paws on my shoulder from a chair as long as I put the mat on my shoulder. Should go more smoothly from here, she's a quick learner once she understands what you want. Thanks for the tutorial!

Oh you’re the reason I searched for this in the first place! I saw your road trip short and I wanted to get my cat to go out adventuring with me

I have a cat that started doing this on her own. I can’t sit down or pick her up without her going for my shoulders. Training her NOT to do this is the trick! 😹

Once, I even laid down on my couch to see if she would prefer the soft cushions over my narrow shoulders. Not only did she not get off, she made herself more comfortable and fell asleep! 😂

I love your Bengal, he is such a PRETTY cat!

Dear Albert and Mia, thank you for these very helpful videos. We have a 5 y/o indoor Cat and started just recently with the clicker training and fingers pointing. In just a few weeks, she understands what we want completely. I for one had no expectations going in to this but we are so happy with the progress. Thanks a lot 💕

Our bengal cat loved sitting on my shoulders since he was a puppy and I didn't have to train him. Now this has became a problem though! 😂 He's used to walking on a leash, so we often meet strangers that stop us to have a chat. It happened twice that he jumped on the shoulders of strangers when in a stressful situation, like for instance when too many people approached him or a loud car was passing by. This actually scared me because I don't know what trouble he could cause next.

When I lived in LA there was a stray near me that loved to sit on my shoulders whenever she saw me and would sit and read books with me, now I’ve had a cat of my own and would love to teach him how to sit on my shoulders too, thanks for the excellent videos I can’t wait to teach him these tricks

My sweet kitty in my pic is a shoulder kitty. She will jump up from far away and lay around our necks.

[DC-mvuo]

You are amazing. And what you teach is also amazing. It is great parenting that's what it is.

[toddbieschke]

Thanks Albert I'm getting ready to get a cat and I've been watching all your videos and im feeling so prepared

[ornatehammer]

Took my bengal cat two days to convince her to jump on my shoulder without Food 😂 but still need to practice from the floor with my knee as a stair.

You are so cool with your cat it’s like he or she is your spirit animal. I love your content it’s so inspiring to me. My family don’t believe I can train my cat but I will prove them wrong! Thanks and keep up the amazing content😃👍

I taught my fur baby through repetition by putting her on my shoulders every time i carried her, the problem is now she prefers to climb up onto my shoulders every time I only want to normal carry her lol. But she also knows when I want her off, every time I lean towards the table or a counter, or I crouch down she gets off no problem
