People who have seen Trisha
Seifried Woodall with her cats say that she has a magic touch. Most people don't
know anyone who can order a cat to jump on a table, sit for two minutes, and
then jump to the floor and walk backward.
Ms. Seifried Woodall has taught her cats to
do all these tricks -- and many more. At her training center. Got Pet-ential,
cats learn tricks for TV and magazine ads. Some of her cats have appeared on bags
of cat food.
When Ms. Seifried Woodall gets a cat, she
first learns what that cat likes and doesn't like. "Some cats like to stay
close to the ground, so I'll teach them how to stand behind me, and walk with
me," she says. "Other cats, like high places, so they'll learn how to
jump on my bent knee and then safely leap to my shoulder."
Ms. Seifried Woodall grew up in a family
with many pets, and she was first paid to work with animals when she was 18. At
a summer job at an amusement park, she learned how to train a few of the
animals for performances. She continued to train and learn about animals for 20
years before starting her own animal-training center.
Ms. Seifried Woodall is proud of the skills
her cats have learned, but she is also proud that her center's cats are healthy
and social. She believes her cats enjoy learning new tricks.
In Ms. Seifried Woodall's experience, no
breed (品种) of cat is easier to train than others. All of her cats came from
shelters. They have become pets in her home.
Like most animal trainers, Ms. Seifried
Woodall uses a reward system. Cats that are successful during training get food
or a new toy. A cat that doesn't enjoy eating or playing will probably not be
interested in being trained. She never scolds (责骂) them. "Cats need a
lot of encouragement when they are performing, she says." I say good job
or that s right several times during a single minute."
