Instructions
Talk to your cat - a lot. Encourage her to come to you, and regularly pet her and brush her.
Choose a special dry snack that she has shown she likes. It cannot be her regular dry food.
Pick a special word, such as "snack" or "dessert." It must be a word she will associate only with the special snack.
Use your special word during her next snack time. In her presence, place one piece of the food in her empty dish and say the special word.
Say the word again after she eats the first piece. Place another piece of the food in her dish and say the special word again.
Walk away. If she is giving you "I am really starving" cries, say your word again and give her one more piece. Then walk out of the room.
Repeat the procedure in 5 minutes. Cats learn very quickly when they are motivated.
Follow this procedure for the next several days.
