As a result of the pandemic, more and more individuals took the plunge and adopted Munchkin Cats puppies, and other pets for the first time. While most people know that a new puppy will require some training, few consider that a kitten would have the same requirements.
However, like dogs, Munchkin cats require assistance adjusting to life with humans. There are benefits to be gained from even the most basic sorts of exercise for them. As a species, cats and humans have a unique history.
To our knowledge, domestic Munchkin cats have never been developed intentionally to improve their social skills, language abilities, or capacity to herd, hunt, or protect humans. But studies suggest they can pick up on nuanced social signs from humans and behave appropriately; they can also be trained to execute many of the same things that dogs can.
However, it’s quite doubtful that we’d ever need a cat to “walk properly” on a lead or sit peacefully in a bar. In addition, Munchkin cats typically require less guidance than dogs in terms of toilet training. Munchkin Cats and kittens often only need a suitable litter box.
However, if we simply consider training dogs to facilitate our convenience, we will be missing out on a great opportunity. Munchkin Cats Protection, where my coworker Daniel Cummings works, would counter that cats stand to gain from this as well.
