Cats are naturally active and wish lots of stimulation to make sure mental and physical well-being. Teaching smart behavior and enjoying games are positive ways in which of interacting along with your cat and nice fun, too.

How to train your cat

Kind, effective training involves rewarding “good” behavior and ignoring “bad” behavior. Never use aggressive methods as a deterrent—for example, shouting at your cat or spraying him with water. This may scare him, lead

to a deterioration in his behavior, and damage the bond between you. Build up your cat’s training gradually, session by session. If you are teaching him to behave well in potentially scary situations, such as having his claws clipped or going in a cat carrier, take things very slowly and reward your cat for remaining relaxed.

Realistic expectations

Cats are motivated to perform behaviors such as hunting, climbing, jumping, and scratching so be prepared. However, if you find any of these problematic, try to provide safe and acceptable alternatives. Never punish your cat or forceably restrain him from behaving naturally, but use physical barriers if there is a risk he might do something dangerous.You can also use indirect distraction by making an exciting noise in another room so he will

stop what he is doing to investigate.

Be consistent

It is easy to be indulgent with a kitten, but bear in mind that his cute

behavior might not be acceptable in an adult cat. For example, rough

and tumble or pouncing games on your hands and feet could later

develop into aggressive play. Set house rules early on make up your mind whether you will allow your cat to sleep in your bedroom at night, sit on the tables, or climb onto shelves and stick to your decision. If you permit the

occasional lapse, your cat canne’er learn what’s wished of him.

Keep your cat stimulated

Domestic life can frustrate a cat’s natural predatory instincts, leading

to a bored pet UN agency could harm your home attempting to entertain himself. . Fulfill your cat’s need to hunt by providing him with a satisfying substitute. Interactive toys, such as play wands with a dangling feather or a catnip mouse, give your cat something to chase and allow you to join in the fun while keeping your hands at a safe distance when he leaps onto his “prey.” If he does bite during play, simply stop the game so he learns that you become boring if he bites.

Make sure you are not the sole source of fun by offering your cat toys that he can play with on his own. Toys that move or have an interesting texture are most likely to catch his attention. Rotate them regularly to prevent boredom.

Cats also are motivated to figure for his or her food. You can buy puzzle

feeders or make one yourself by cutting holes in a plastic bottle (ensuring that there are no sharp edges) and filling it with dry food.

Your cat has got to paw and nose the feeder to create the food fall out. You can also scatter food around, so that he has to hunt for it instead of just eating from a bowl. Cats like to explore their environment from every angle, so provide places for your cat to investigate, perch on, or hide in: cardboard boxes and paper bags (with handles cut off) are ideal and cost nothing.

Clicker training

If you want to teach your cat behaviors, for example, going into his carrier clicker training is very effective. A clicker could be a tiny device with a metal tab that clicks once ironed. By clicking once your cat is doing the “right” issue, and like a shot giving him a treat, you’ll train him to associate a click with one thing sensible and to perform the desired behavior.
