Every cat I have ever been around that was allowed to go outside preferred to go outside. It is believed that cats need to be outside to live a full and truly healthy life. While I tend to agree that most cats don't get enough stimulation I won't let my cats outside for safety reasons. So I felt I needed to find ways to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. They have been trained to do preform some behaviors, like getting up high when I walk in the door so I don't step on them and (occasionally) sitting for food.
What I really want to so is use the clicker to start shaping behaviors, a great way to make the cats think. And also maybe train some brain heavy behaviors like object or scent discrimination.
We will see how it goes.
