Cat Training Made Simple


by Nadine Davis

Cats and dogs become treasured members of the family and are given love and care by their owners. Like children they also need to learn limits as to what is acceptable and non acceptable behavior. This then involves spending time with them in daily sessions of training to bring out good habits and get rid of any disagreeable ones. Obedience training for dogs is also essential as you need them to come when called if they are intent on chasing other dogs. Cats also need to be trained in order to protect expensive furnishings.

Dog breeders give their pets the best of care, and start training early. Basic training starts while the pups are young, and are short sessions to begin with. It is an important part of the training to reward your pets once they have responded well to an action or a command. This encourages them to follow commands like, sit, flop, stay, and wait for the command to eat before feeding. It is also very important to train your pets not to accept food from others to prevent them from being harmed by possible baits.

It is nice to sit watching telly with our furry felines comfortably curled up on our lap showing their contentment with their purring. They should be kept indoors for their own protection and for the welfare of our native wildlife. Cats are natural hunters so it is their instinctive reaction to pounce on anything that moves. Much of our wildlife has been lost because of this and this makes training of cats imperative in case they slip out of the home. Buying from a cattery will ensure pure bloodlines and cats with a good temperament. Like dogs, any genetic defects are bred out of them.

Early training for your cat in using the litter tray is essential if you want a clean unsoiled home. Spray bottles filled with water come in handy for training cats as it is not harmful to them but they certainly do not like to be sprayed. Lounge suites and carpets are very expensive items and they don't respond well to cats using them to sharpen claws. Buy them a scratching post and teach them to use it, rewarding them when they do, and using the spray bottle to deter them wrecking carpets. This is also the way to teach them not to jump up on tables and kitchen benches. Training cats should be a family project.
