In our daily interactions with cats, we gradually learn about the habits of our domesticated cats, discover their interests, cultivate and train them, and make them more likable and unique. The various funny expressions and postures of cats also fascinate us.

In our daily interactions with cats, we gradually learn about the habits of our domesticated cats, discover their interests, cultivate and train them, and make them more likable and unique. The various funny expressions and postures of cats also fascinate us. Recently, Japanese rolling cats have become popular on the internet, and their natural and relaxed posture and cute appearance in photo albums are fascinating. This also gives us inspiration that by training cats' nature, they will show a unique appearance.

The so-called 'rolling cat' refers to a cat that lies or sleeps easily and comfortably. The cats that appear in the photo album are mostly wildcats. Some roll to relax, some squint their eyes into a line, and stretch lazily. The action of sometimes holding onto something and sometimes wanting to grab onto something, showing a cute demeanor. The photographer said, "Although you won't feed the cat during filming, as long as you stay still, the cat will slowly approach you

Rolling is also a common movement of cats that we often see at home. They often lazily lie down or lie on their back, and then roll irregularly. This is mostly an unconscious rolling of cats, and we need to make them listen to us. If you want to see them roll when you give them instructions, then we need to train them in a timely manner. Training is actually very simple. During training, the owner first shouts "roll", and at the beginning, the cat will definitely not respond. At this time, you can lightly press the cat's back with your hand and press it down to make it roll. Cats may resist, so don't be in a hurry. Be patient and try a few more times. When the cat obeys, give food rewards and gently stroke its back to praise. After multiple training sessions, the cat will roll on the ground as soon as it hears the command to "roll".

In the early stages of training, cats can receive a reward of some favorite food for each roll they make. Then gradually reduce the reward, requiring the cat to roll a few more rolls before receiving the reward, until the food reward is completely stopped.

Rolling also has different meanings. When a cat rolls on the ground, it sometimes turns its belly towards a person or animal and says, "Come and play a hunting game with me!" Dogs may think it's a fighting game based on their language, accept it gladly, and then start a new round of dogs chasing the cat. If the female cat rolls in front of the male cat, opens her toes, and stretches her paws, it indicates that the female cat is not pregnant yet and continues to pursue her.

Secondly, when training cats to roll, the location is also a place that we need to pay attention to. For example, the Japanese rolling cats mentioned earlier were filmed on outdoor grasslands or some sandy areas. In these places, they are closer to nature and the air is fresher, which is beneficial for the physical and mental health of cats. They are also more likely to adopt cute postures. And cats will pose like humans, making people who look at photos feel like they would do the same. Although the subject of the photo is a cat, people will also feel it. This is what makes cats unique to us.
