Dogs are pack animals and looking for a leader.  Cats are not, so there is
going to be a completely different mind-set, as far as the cat is concerned.

I understand that, outside of litter box training, it is very rare to have a
trained cat.  I experienced vicarious cat ownership through our eldest
daughter who stayed with us awhile before her marriage, and although her cat
was great to have around, she chose where and when she wanted to interact.

A humorous anecdote I saw once says, "Dogs have masters, but cats have
staff."

Best wishes.

Hi list,

My husband and I, both blind, just got a cat and would like to try
clicker-training her for fun, but we haven't been successful so far after
various attempts. I've seen a couple articles on training guide dogs, and of
course Google has plenty on blind pets, but barely anything on blind
trainers in general, and nothing at all about them working with cats. I'd
appreciate connecting with  anyone who has experience with this. I can
provide more details about our trials off-list.

Thanks,
Jessie
