Question 1

work for cats?

Accepted Answer

Hi Stephanie, this clicker was designed for dogs, but can work with all different types of animals depending on their temperament and willingness to learn. It may work for a cat, but it depends on the cat.

Question 2

How does it make them obey

Accepted Answer

THIS is how one trains killer whales.  IT is far easier for an animal to understand the consistency of a "click" than to decipher "yes, good boyyyyyy" and "Yeah, that is it!" and "Good doggie" and so on, to US? those words of praise all seem about the same? but, to an animal? a plain ol "click" to indicate, "yes, THAT right, THAT Is exactly what i want you to do!"   Clicks are just easier for an animal to listen for and understand.  It is all positive.
DO GOOGLE "clicker training" before you begin.  It is pretty easy to do, but, it can be messed up.  THE MOST COMMON MISTAKE most humans make while training Any animal, is, the human tries to make the lesson last wayyyyyy too long.  Animals, especially beginners, have SHORT ATTENTION SPANS, so keep lessons short, like 5 minutes long, and end on positive note.  END THE LESSON BEFORE Your pet zones out or gets frustrated.  FIVE MINUTES is plenty.  YOu can repeat the lesson later on as often as you want, but, keep each session short and quick, because animals needs breaks, they do.
and absolutely NO SCOLDING,  none. POsitive only.  
Every click gets a treat, and keep treats TINY, ya don't want a full or fat animal.    MAIN THING TO REMEMBER: IF YOU AND THE PET ARE NOT BOTH HAVING FUN? you are doing it wrong.  IT is FUN above all else, for both of you.

Question 3

I need a loud clicker so my cat can hear it when he is outside do you think he can hear this one?

Accepted Answer

This makes a very soft click.  If you need a hard click (loud click), go with a box clicker like those made by The Clicker Company (Doggone Good).  The teardrop clickers are medium clicks which I like for inside my house.  For outdoors or in large indoor spaces I like the box clickers.  This product is quite soft, so I would use it with my little dog when training up close (if I have to click next to his head, for instance) indoors.
