Show transcript0:10Since the release of our instructional video, An Engineer's Guide to Cats, and a rise in popularity of cat yodeling, many people have expressed difficulty in achieving yodeling with their own cat.0:20The first ingredient needed for cat yodeling is a cat. Selection of a cat with the correct temperament is critical. You will want to find a cat that is mellow enough, yet still capable of being annoyed. You should not apply any physical discomfort, but it is advisable to use protection for the first yodeling attempts in case of excessively jubilant yodeling.0:38The first phase of cat yodeling is the annoying phase.0:41This involves simply cradling the cat in a loving manner for a short amount of time. Other methods for increasing the annoyance of the cat include something called the semi-automatic kissing machine, and also a technique for cross-species sensitivity training called the overly friendly sniffing dog simulator. Finally, a momentary vertical displacement of 4 to 6 inches will trigger the vocalizations of the cat, whereupon a gently applied shiver will complete the yodel. Advanced yodeling has many advantages. It develops an affectionate bond between the cat and the human, it exercises the vocal systems of the cat, and it brings beauty into the world as a new form of artistic expression.
