Can You Train A Cat? It's
Easier Done With A Kitten!
| The best way to train a cat is by letting
it imitate you as though you were its mother. This is
easier done when it is 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 and shouting
and growling at it is not the right approach to do this.
Speak softly and encourage and reward it when it does
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 its
name when doing so as you don't want it to associate its
name with something that might upset it.
When you are training a 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 the
same commands that you give to the cat are also given by
them. With the help of other people doing this you will
have a better chance of training your cat a lot faster.
Cats can be a lot of trouble, and that's part of the reason
why we will love them so much, but there will be times when
you will need to reprimand your cat and stop bad habits.
This can be done by flicking a bit of water at it or by
giving it a small fright by making a bit of noise when it
does something wrong.
A trained cat is a lot more fun and as we have them for
many years it is well worth the time and effort.
