Clicker

Thor the gray tabby is still afraid of the cat flap. I think it is the click of the magnets, so I had the idea to use a clicker with treats to desensitize him to the click noise. Could I find my dog clicker? Nope. So I used a canning jar lid.

The lid insert is designed to pop. The intention is to show when a glass jar is properly sealed, but the action in the steel can be manually manipulated. I push the can lid in, it gives a small click, then I give Thor a small piece of chicken, and push the center of the lid the other way and it makes a louder click. It isn’t as loud as a store bought clicker, but with my scaredy cat, that is better.
