For better results do it subtle, do it everyday.

The Dishcloth around the Cat
Take one cat. Take one dishcloth. Gently tie the dishcloth around the middle of the cat – in between the front legs and the back legs. We don’t know why but when you let the cat go within two or three steps the cat lays down on its side and looks at you like it is completely content and happy. Pick up the cat put it down on its feet and within a couple of steps the cat will lay down again. Repeat till bored.
Tape on the Paws
If you take four pieces of scotch tape and put them on each of a cats paws. Do not wrap the tape around the paw – just put a little piece on the pad of the paw. Do not use strong tape like duct tape or any kind of packing tape – just use plain old low grade tape. You will see your cat dance like they have never danced before.
