I've trained my cat to clean his backside off the bed. He'll wash himself until he gets to that bit and then jumps off the bed and continues.

I find a cat washing himself very relaxing somehow.

You train? Your cat?? In this house, it's more like my cat trains me😭 but yes, very relaxing. I'm sure my cat thinks I'm creepy as I love staring at him while he licks that one wet spot over and over again.

Consistency is key with all animals! I really don't think they understand the concept of "sometimes." so if it's something like "I don't want you on the countertop" then you always need to respond to that in the same exact way and in a way that isn't frightening so they're not afraid of you, but to just respond to what you're doing. So for example I snap my fingers when I don't like what she's doing and she'll stop, or I make a specific hand gesture if I want her to jump up on my lap.

Some cats are just stubborn assholes though so I guess your milage may vary lol

Mine's definitely in the extremely stubborn category, but I just love him so much- assholery and all lol
