The Trainable Cat: Book

Is anyone else reading this?
It's an interesting book (i'm about halfway through) with the central thesis that you can train your cat in ways that make their life better: so that thy aren't afraid of the vet/visitors etc. Theres a good write up of the book here: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/jul/31/listen-to-her-purr-how-to-train-your-cat-sarah-ellis

Also anyone else have experience cat training? 

No, I have not heard of it. Personally, I would think that it would be easier with a younger cat or a kitten. My guy is 12 years old, so I think he is too old. 

I did get him accustomed to his carrier. I leave it out 24/7 with a clean towel in it. Sometimes he uses it as a hiding spot, to get away from me!!
