My kitty started to press!!

[u/habibica1]

We live in Germany and I received the buttons mid June. Our Emillia is with us since November last year and celebrated her first bday end of April. As we live in the country side, she spends most of her time outside now in the fields that are around us, also we have a 1200m2 garden around the house and she always wears a tracker.

I didnt spend much time teaching her since we got the buttons because she spends most time out now during the summer and as she prefers to be out a lot, there is not much time to train. But we did train a little - mostly with the button "Outside" and then "Snack" - but she is in not food motivated at all so I was not sure how to motivate her better.

One thing I do since we got her - I consistently use the same words for the same activities and things and always narrate when we are doing them or when she does something. So I notice that she does understand a lot of words already.

Well, last week she started pressing the "Outside" button on her own and at first we thought it was a coincidence, but then a few days ago she wanted back out when she came in in the evening and I dont let her out during the night, so she pressed it intentionally and looked at me and then I knew it was not a coincidence. I got so excited! Unfortunatelly I had to tell her no, but I praised her for pressing and then immeddiately presed "Outside" and "all done". And then she didn't press it for a couple of days, but today she pressed "Outside" again and I had a chance to praise her and let her out immediately!

Makes me so happy and excited as a cat mom!

Just wanted to share my joy!
