Training Different Breeds Of Cats
There are many cat breeds available and one
should do some research on the behavior of each kind before getting any
as a pet. Cats in general are not like dogs who want to please the
owner. W hen this creature wants to perform a trick or something, it is
because the animal finds it amusing and will continue to do so as long
as it is having fun.
The best way to start training a cat is getting it associated with a
certain sound. When the animal responds immediately to it, the signal
could mean it is time to eat or to go to the owner when the pet is
being called.
The owner should call out the name of the cat first then make the
distinctive sound. Since this may take some time to practice, this
should be done quite often and reinforced with some kind of reward to
make the animal know what will happen when hearing it.
One good way of training the cat is with constant observation. This
works well when training the cat to sharpen its claws on the scratching
pad and not on the furniture. The owner should gently pick up the
animal, bring it to the scratching post then hold the pet by the paws
and start the action.
Since not all cats are toilet trained, one will have to watch over
the cat. When it is time for the cat to go, the person should carry the
cat to the litter box for the "deed" to be done there.
Should the cat dump its waste before reaching the litter box or when
the owner suddenly finds some in the house, this should be picked up
and placed in the box. Afterwards, the cat should be placed in that box
to make it get used with the smell, which will help the cat learn where
to go should it happen again. When this happens, the cat should be
rewarded with a little treat.
Cats, regardless of breed, can be trained to do tricks. Though some
do not perform the tricks in the presence of strangers or other people,
it does not mean the creature has forgotten the trick. It just means it
is not comfortable in the presence of other people.
Cats can also be trained to be responsible enough to go to the proper place whenever nature calls.
For all of this to happen, it just takes some time and patience for the owner to train and reward the pet for its efforts.
