How to train a docile cat

Cats are soft and cute, but they are actually very stubborn animals. It is much easier to train a dog to sit or shake hands than it is to train a cat not to scratch the sofa, but are cats untrainable? Of course not.

Attitude is important!

1. Stop it with your voice

The quickest way to stop a cat from jumping on your hands or feet is to drink it with a serious expression, using a simple word that is easier for the cat to remember.

2. Stop it with actions

Like a mother cat to a kitten, pinch the fur on the back of its neck and gently press it to the ground, and maintain this state for a few seconds to ten seconds, implying that the kitten is its "mother" and has something to do with it.

3. Attract it with toys

When the cat pounces on you, you can take out the ready toy to attract its attention, such as teasing cat sticks, skin mice and other gadgets, and teach it to play with toys instead of your hands.

4. Don't be stingy with praise

The power of praise is always greater than criticism. Cats are very sensitive to human emotional changes. When they are praised, they can be encouraged by a good atmosphere and pleasant emotions. When cats do well, they must smile and pet them and praise them kindly and tenderly.

5. Embrace ten minutes a day

Take at least ten minutes a day to hug and pet your cat, let it know how much you love it, let it learn to enjoy the warmth of hugs and the correct way to express love.

[Editor's Tip] Training can't be immediate, it needs a continuous process, don't be impatient and don't blame the cat for slow learning~ Give it a little more time, it will understand.

While training the cat, the owner should also know what the cat hates, and don't unknowingly be included in the list of unwelcome objects by the cat~

1. Cats hate being frightened the most

Suddenly calling the cat with a loud voice, or trying to open or close the door with too much force, the ringing of the doorbell and the noise of a friend who suddenly visits will frighten the cat.

Two, cats hate being stared at for a long time

When a cat is stared at, it will feel threatened by attack and will be nervous or angry.

Three, cats hate being disturbed when they sleep

The cat sleeps two-thirds of the day. If you want to make out with or play with the cat while it sleeps, it is a big mistake. In fact, it is extremely impatient with your intimacy at the moment.

[Editor's Tip] It is best for the owner to know what cats hate, especially if the family has children, strengthen the education of the children, and do not provoke cats and cats because of some unintentional behaviors of children,
