Cats And Upbringing. 1 Part.
Cat is a very smart creature. Sometimes even feel that she understands human speech. In fact, it's not entirely true - cats read the tone and mood of the hostess, although they can remember and value of few words, like his name or "eat".
And cats, like a small children do not perceive that it was said, but as mentioned, so with the cats need to be honest - if you want to be understood, of course.
How to tame a cat
To accustom the cats hear its name is easy. Simply call it by name every pleasant moment - to pat, to scratch, to feed. You can call kitten, alternating between the traditional "kitty, kitty, kitty" and first name.
There is only one moment which I recommend to avoid: do not call a kitten just like that or, worse, to punish. The animal must know that if called - will be something good.
Accustom to the toilet is easy, also. Sometimes it is enough simply to show where it is. More reliable method - just carry the kitten in the right place after he eats. Most likely the kid quickly understand where to make their case.
If the cat is not accustomed for own place, you need understand what disturb. Perhaps it makes sense to rearrange tray in a more secluded place or need to change the type of filler.
When an adult cat begin carefully mark their territory, your strategy should change somewhat - it does so deliberately, saying to world about their rights. Here are just in a city apartment this way is inappropriate.
Constant washing, usually do not provide results - he will do it more strongly. If you press the cat muzzle in this place, he may perceive this as "yes, here's your place and you must mark more" - and will continue fragrant affair.
But there is a solution - do not try to tame the cat for something, but seek to understand the cat and to act in his world, by his rules. The territory labeled not everything cats, but only the master, the chief cat. So should bring to the attention of the animal, that this role you assume.
So, finding cat on the "hot scene", grab it by the scruff (or ask someone to help you). Feel themselves as "the main cat", look into the eyes of a cat ( by cat-laws: who first avoid eyes - lost ) and hiss on it - like the cats to hiss before the fight.
Continue until the cat start to cheep and when once cat squeaked - release him. Immediately secure the victory - wash out the mark of cat and leave your mark - just wipe with a sweaty T-shirt or with your favorite deodorant.
Cats, like children who do not like and not really understand the word "impossible".
But accustom the cat is possible, if you follow these rules:
• If something is impossible, it is impossible from the beginning once and for all;
• cats have a short memory, so blame the cat for their deeds more than an hour ago, just useless - he will not understand you;
• better to stop by the process, than to curse after. And it would be better if the cat does not understand that she was stopped by you - then she will not do the forbidden, even staying home alone;
• Cats do not like sharp sounds, so, if we want to cats stopped doing that we do not like (biting a decorative flower, for example), enough quit on the floor a bunch of keys. Other suitable method - splash the water on your shaggy minx;
• The introduction of bans should understand why the cat tends to do what you do not want to - and give her the opportunity to meet their needs acceptable manner. For example - to make a stand, or at least put a timber for sharpening claws.
And cats, like a small children do not perceive that it was said, but as mentioned, so with the cats need to be honest - if you want to be understood, of course.
