The Best Ways To Train Your Cat

The best way to train your cat is by letting it imitate you as though you were its mother.

This is more easily done when they are a kitten as older cats become a lot more difficult to teach.

We all know how cats have a mind of their own and are very independent animals.

This only becomes more so as they age.

You need to get your cat to trust you, so shouting and growling at them is not the right approach to use.

Speak softly and encourage and reward them when they do the right thing, as this is the fastest way to get your cat to do what you want.

Cats love praise, and teaching them that they will get more from doing something that you want them to do, will ensure that they will be more inclined to obey you for the reward.

If you do have to reprimand your cat, don't use their name when doing so as you don't want them to associate their name with something that might upset them.

When you are training your cat you have to remain consistent at all times and be very diligent until you get the desired results.

Expect it to take considerably longer than if you were teaching a dog but don't believe that you can't teach a cat to do many things very well.

If there are other members in your family, they can help by always ensuring that they also give the same commands that you give to your cat.

With the help of other people doing this you will have a better chance of training your cat a lot faster, and it should work out to be a lot easier as well.

Cats can be a lot of trouble, and that's part of the reason why we all love them so much, but there will be times when you will need to reprimand your cat to stop bad habits.

This can be done by flicking a bit of water at them or by giving them a small fright by making a bit of noise when they do something wrong, like clapping your hands together for example.

A trained cat is a fun cat, and as we have them for so many years it is well worth the time and effort to get them trained properly so they can repay the love we show to them.

Training your cat to an acceptable level must surely be in your, and your cats, best interest.
