A cat named Doobie has been trained to perform five common dog tricks using a simple reward system. The owner, who posted the training session online, guided Doobie through a sit, paw shake, high five, stand, and spin, each prompted by a squeeze-up treat. The cat responded quickly to each cue, showing that the treat was an effective motivator. Viewers of the video praised the cat’s performance, and one commenter asked where they could adopt a cat like Doobie.

Key takeaways

  • Doobie can sit, offer a paw, give a high five, stand, and spin on command.
  • A single squeeze-up treat was used as the reward for each trick.
  • The owner used simple hand signals and treat cues to teach the cat.
  • The video drew positive comments, with one viewer asking how to adopt a similar cat.
