Tips For Training Your Cat

Lots of cat owners harbor the misconception that it is impossible to train cats, instead thinking they must put up with whatever their cat chooses to do. And while it is not nearly as easy to train cats as it is to train dogs, there are several similarities between the two. Once you understand the little things it takes to train your cat, you will be able to share your house with a truly well-behaved feline!

The first thing to realize about cats is that - just like dogs - they respond to the tone of your voice. When your cat has been bad, use a stern tone with them; when your cat has been good, use a happy tone with them; always keep your voice at the same volume level, and never yell! This goes for anything you might be training your cat in, from clawing the furniture to litter box usage to (when they are a kitten) biting.

You can also notify your cat when they are doing something bad - and can even call your cat - by conditioning them to certain auditory signals. For instance, find something that makes a noise your cat does not like - such as a bell - and use it when they are misbehaving. On the other hand, if your cat has a favorite treat, you should clank the fork against the plate any time you are feeding it to them. You will soon be able to "call" your cat, just like you would a dog, as they will begin to associate the clanking of a fork against a plate with an understanding that they should come to you.

And one of the best ways to keep your cat in line - acting the way you want them to act - is by using a spray bottle. You can quickly train your cat against clawing your furniture or going somewhere in your house where you do not want them to go if you simply spray them in the eyes or on the nose with water from this spray bottle whenever they do these things; they will quickly learn not to do these things, and will also learn what the spray bottle means when they see it.

Once you follow these tips, you will realize that cats can be trained just as well as dogs, and it is not really so difficult to have an obedient cat!
