I'll tell you a about a story that was told but an pathologist at the American Academy of Forensic Sciences conference in New Orleans. He explained that when people who live alone die in their homes and their pets are locked up with them, something very interesting happens. Whereas a dog will wait several days before they resort to eating you, basically when they're starving, a cat will pretty much just go right at it. Cat’s actually don’t give a damn about their owners.

But all in all, I think the trick to training your pet is consistency.
