Yes, though cats respond differently to training than dogs. Short sessions of 2-5 minutes, highly desirable rewards (freeze-dried meat or Churu), and clicker training work well for teaching specific behaviours like recall, carrier acceptance, and paw targeting. Cats are less food-motivated than dogs but many will work for a favourite treat.

Cats need around 200-300 kcal per day depending on size and activity. The 10% rule applies as it does for dogs — treats should stay under 10% of daily calories, so roughly 20-30 kcal from treats per day. For most cats that's a small handful of crunchy bites or one full lickable tube.

Yes, in measured amounts. Lickable wet treats are complementary — not a complete diet — so they shouldn't replace meals, but daily feeding as a treat or medication-hiding tool is fine. Watch the salt and additive content on non-premium brands, and rotate proteins to avoid over-reliance on any single ingredient.

Lickable wet treats (Churu, Inaba Ciao, Kit Cat) are the gold standard — soft, aromatic, and slow-lick format disguises tablets better than anything crunchy. For large or awkward pills, pill-pocket style products that mould around the tablet also work. Avoid dry crunchy treats for pill hiding — cats taste and separate them easily.

They help, though they're not a substitute for dental care. Cats are more prone to gum disease and tooth resorption than dogs, and mechanical chewing reduces plaque on the tooth surfaces it contacts. VOHC-accepted products have the strongest evidence, but daily dental treats are most effective alongside periodic vet dental checks.
