Tired of coming home and having puddles all
over the house, the cat meowing as if you have left for a weeks on end.
All of this is natural to a cat, even as it
is annoying to us most the time. Just remember your cat has never learned any
different.
Let us look at natural cat training. One of
the first things we have to learn is the natural instincts and behavior of a
cat.
Kittens are born with a great sense of
smell, before they can even see. This is a sense that you will want to help
build in a kittens life, in order for growth to a cat, the sense will continue
to be strong. A cat will live with in its or territory if they have their scent
around the area. As a kitten, you will want to have the kitten explore as many possibilities
as it can. Like taking, the cat to the groomers when you have not taking the kitten
when they are young, the outcome will be disasters if you wait until they are a
full-grown cat. Kittens and cats need the socialization in order to prevent bad
experiences.
When taking the kitten out you will want to
use a pet carrier for this. Put kitten’s favorite blanket, pillow maybe a
favorite toy. With putting these items in the pet carrier will help kitty smell
its own scent and will want to go in the carrier easier.
Cats do become accustom to our routine
around the house. If we have a routine of everyday say getting up for work and
comes, a day that we can sleep in, kitty is not going to let you do that. This
is like breaking kitty’s routine, and cats do not like breaking routine. Cats also do not like it when things are not
in place around the house or if something new enters the house, like a pair of
new shoes. Cats with a keen smell will be able to tell something is not right
and will go and check it out.
Here are some thoughts that you can use if
you are going to natural cat train your cat.
Going on the internet and check out
recourses to help you more with the changes are a good idea, talk to your local
vet, or look for books that will help.
Setting a goal. Set a goal for the behavior
that 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 lots of patience to do this. Remember kitty has done this since it was
born. Rushing your kitten will do nothing for the both of you. .
Patience, Patience and more patience for
you and for the kitten will be necessary for the kitten to view the change as
good one.
Last, if the kitten encounters loss of
appetitive stress over the behavior change, this is a good time to stop and
reevaluate the process.
Cats will learn by 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 mad, reprimand the cat for the behavior with out a reward. Do not
give in and feed a kitten or cat when they do something that you think that
they want to eat. Your kitten or cat needs to have a set time to eat and stick
to it. Not before or after this will not work for training.
Remember to give your kitten or cat a hug
today.
