Of course, training a pet can take a lot of nerve, motivation, and persistence.  The right guide is crucial!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Some people think training cats is impossible.  I can definitely see why one could come to that conclusion!  Face it- felines are very independent and can convince anyone they are not trainable; but they are!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I want to introduce you to a young woman named Liz Barton.  Liz found several feral, flea-ridden kittens on a friend's farm in Texas.  Her heart went out to them, and even though she knew next to nothing about cats, she set out to rescue these 11 feral kittens.  She studied, researched, and learned all she could on kitties, then set out to training!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Through trial and error, she came up with a consistent and successful way of not only training them but she also gained their trust and became well-adjusted, well-behaved family members!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I know how it can seem unrealistic- but its not.  I encourage you to click on the following link to see who Liz is and what she has to say.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://mccrow59.elbvc.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top"&gt;Click Here!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Learn by Liz's trial &amp;amp; error; she's already done the research, the footwork and taken all the scratches!  Hopefully her training manual will spare you a few of those scratches.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cats are so wonderful to have as pets.  There is ONE secret of my own I'm going to share with you!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Here goes!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Are you aware that us humans are NOT the pet picker?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;The animal is the one that picks you as the pet- &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;not the way we've always perceived it!  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Think about it- if an animal doesn't appear to care for you but you insist on picking that one for your pet, how well does that animal respond to you &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;before&lt;/span&gt; you start working on winning them over?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;This has been my experience with animals.  I'm one of those people that animals are attracted to, for the most part.  Cats mainly; dogs like me too but I think they can feel my apprehensiveness (I do get nervous or uncomfortable around some dogs).  Raccoons seem to be comfortable around me too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I do not suggest trying to befriend raccoons though!  They are too wild, too smart, and too unpredictable!  In fact, if you live in the country as I do and have wooded areas around your home, you probably have raccoons.  It's considered (in the long run) cruel &amp;amp; unusual punishment to feed raccoons because once you do, they'll come to you for food before searching on their own. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I found this out by feeding my cats on the porch, only to discover about a whole year later that I'd been feeding the raccoons in the neighborhood- apparently long enough for a few mothers to teach their babies to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;go to Carol's house, her cats don't care if you eat their food at night!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Oh my goodness- I had no idea what I'd started! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Do you see now why it's considered cruel and unusual punishment to get a raccoon used to you feeding them?  Because they will count on you!  I have a few smaller ones on my porch every night now, and if there's no food like they're used to, they hang out, looking under things as they knock them over, and make a bunch of racket!  They crawl half way in the cat door and watch me as I work on my computer, waiting ever-so-impatiently to bring them food!  What a mess.  Don't get caught up with the raccoons!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Back To The Cats--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I hope you'll at least look at what Liz has to offer.  I think you'll find her "Cat Secrets Revealed" to be a very affective, thorough solution to teaching, training, and befriending your feline family members.

If you are a cat lover also, I have a blog I've been working on with pictures of my cats &amp;amp; raccoons (they picked me!) with little stories.  Feel free to check it out, I'm always adding, so the blog is never done.
