Hi, I have a 3-year old female Persian named Haiku. She has golden eyes and her color is called "blue smoke", but it looks grey as dust to me. :) When she was a kitten, she reminded me of a puff of smoke. She's a good cat. She's affectionate, and at turns quiet and chatty. She gets into my things when I'm not at home but doesn't do any damage. Now and then she'll knock a pencil off my desk. 

I'm interested in clicker training her so that we can have some productive fun. I think the only thing she does that's "bad" is she will occasionally scratch the wrong thing. I don't have precious furniture to worry about but now and then, I catch her scratching even the bed sheets. So I'd like to get her a better scratching post and clicker train her to concentrate on the post, rather than say, the step ladder. hahaha I'd also like to get her not to be so finicky, if that's possible.

Anyway, I hope to learn a lot from the other cat owners here.

Welcome to the site!:wavey:

You should pop over to the behavior forum and ask for some help there with the clicker training. as far as the scratching I would provide her with as many different types of scratching things to allow her to find what she likes best.

I have the clicker, along with a book on the subject, but gave up after one or two tries.  I hope you have better luck. 
  My second cousin who is about twelve has had great success in training her cat (if training is the right word).  She (Tigerlily) walks on a lease and all kinds of other things.  I think I gave up too soon.  Anyway, what I came here to say is welcome to TCS!  It is lovely to meet you.
