Hold a treat the cat likes just above its nose to attract attention, then slowly raise it while giving a sit command; when the upper body lifts, reward with the treat plus gentle praise and petting. Feeding snacks this way helps the cat adapt to a sitting posture with better balance.

But avoid keeping the cat standing too long to protect its joints.
