ThresholdCat vs Cat School
A clicker-training curriculum teaching tricks and skills, not a behavior-problem service.
Cat School
$25/month
Price checked 2026-08-21.
What it’s genuinely good at
- Genuinely good at what it is for: teaching a cat to target, sit, high-five, or walk on a leash through structured clicker-training lessons.
- Clicker training itself is a real, force-free skill worth having in the house — it builds a communication channel with your cat that a soiling or intercat protocol can then use.
- At $25/month it is the cheapest thing on this page by a wide margin, and it delivers exactly what it says: a trick and skills curriculum.
What it isn’t built for
- It is not a behavior-problem service. A trick-training curriculum does not diagnose why a cat is soiling outside the box or map a resource shortfall between two cats who cannot share a hallway.
- Nothing in a clicker-training course routes a medical-soiling case or a bite that reached a person to a veterinarian before it is too late — that is not what the product is for, so it does not try.
Buy theirs instead if
Buy Cat School if what you actually want is to teach your cat tricks or build a general training relationship, full stop — that is a genuinely good product for that job and $25 a month is a fair price for it.
The difference with ThresholdCat
We do not teach tricks and Cat School does not diagnose soiling or intercat tension — these are not really competitors, they answer different questions. If your cat is peeing outside the box after a vet-clear, or two cats in your house cannot share a hallway, that is a protocol problem, not a skills curriculum, and that is what we sell.
