Natural cat training
Tired of coming home and having puddles all over the house, the cat meows like you've been gone for a week.
All of this is natural for a cat, even if it bothers us most of the time. Remember that your cat has never learned anything different.
Let's take a look at natural cat training. One of the first things we have to learn is a cat's natural instincts and behavior.
Kittens are born with a great sense of smell, even before they can see. This is a sense that you will want to help build the life of a kitten, so that the growth is a cat, the sense will remain strong. A cat will live with its territory or if it has its scent in the area. As a kitten, you want the kitten to explore as many possibilities as possible. Just like taking the cat to the groomers when you haven't taken it when it is young, the result will be a disaster if you wait until it is an adult cat. Kittens and cats need socialization to avoid bad experiences.
When you take the kitten out, you'll want to use a pet carrier for this. Put on the kitten's favorite blanket, the pillow maybe her favorite toy. Putting these items in the carrier will help the kitty smell its own scent and will want to go on the carrier more easily.
Cats get used to our routine around the house. If we have a routine every day, say we get up for work and there comes a day when we can sleep, Kitty won't let you do that. This is like breaking Kitty's routine, and cats don't like breaking routine. Cats also do not like when things are not in their place in the house or if something new enters the house, such as a new pair of shoes. Cats with a pungent odor may notice that something is wrong and will go check it out.
Here are some thoughts you can use if you are going to train your cat naturally.
Going online and looking at the resources that will help you the most with the changes is a good idea, talk to your local vet or look for books to help you.
Set a goal. Set a goal for the behavior you need to change. Think of options for training your cat to reach the goal.
Step by Step. You will want to take time and patience to do this. Remember that Kitty has done this since she was born. Rushing your kitten will do nothing for both of you. .
Patience, patience, and more patience for you and the kitten will be necessary for the kitten to see the change as good.
Lastly, if the kitten experiences a loss of appetitive stress due to the behavior change, this is a good time to stop and reevaluate the process.
Cats will learn from experience. When the experience is good, your cat will try to repeat it. If the experience is unpleasant, your cat will not be willing to try it in the future.
Always remember to reward your kitten or cat when the behavior is good. However, if the behavior is not good, remember not to get angry, berate the cat for the unrewarded behavior. Don't give in and feed a kitten or cat when it does something you think it wants to eat. Your kitten or cat needs to have a set time to eat and stick with it. Neither before nor after this will not work for training.
Remember to give your kitten or cat a hug today.
