Training Your Cat

Cats are such rewarding companions for humans. Most cats will need a little training and it doesn't have to be a chore.Cats and dogs learn the same way. Punishment is not an effective way to teach your cat the behaviors you want them to learn. Positive reinforcement is always the best method for training your pet. Your cat will continue to repeat the behavior that got the most pleasant response from you.Using a toy to train your kitty will keep their interest and keep them occupied. Try rotating different toys during your training sessions to keep up their curiosity.Give your cat a quick squirt with a water bottle to interrupt the bad behavior that you want to stop. This method does not harm the cat, it just startles them.A very effective training technique for both cats and dogs is to blow in their face when they are doing something that you don't want them to. In the animal world, this is want their birth mothers would do to stop the bad behavior.Give your cat quality time. This will create a bond between you and your cat and help with the training sessions.
