In fact, training any kind of cat will not be too easy, because it can't be done overnight. Moreover, animals will have their own ideas. When they are tired, they want to rest, and when they are in a bad mood, they want to be comforted. Therefore, the owner must be psychologically prepared before raising a cat, otherwise it is easy to give it away or even abandon it directly.
First, choose the cat that suits you.
Figure 1 Some stray cats are used to a free life, but they are not suitable for adoption.
Figure 2 Different purebred cats have different personalities, so it is best to choose a cat that suits you.
Different cats have different personalities. Choosing a cat that suits you can not only improve the cat's quality of life to the greatest extent, but also make your living standard leap to a higher level. For example, Siamese cats are outgoing and lively, while Persian cats like to be quiet and don't like to talk, and often watch their masters do things silently. So if you like a quiet life, don't choose a cat like Siamese. If you want something at home to adjust the depressing atmosphere, then Persian cats can't be the first choice. Even stray cats, different cats have different personalities. You can get in touch with cats before adoption, understand their temper and personality, and then decide whether to adopt.
Second, some habits are formed from childhood.
There is a cat that calls others' cats. They will do the right thing at the right time. On the other hand, their own cats do nothing but sabotage all day. Why can't other people's cats have a good habit of reaching for their own cats? In fact, many good habits of cats can be cultivated when they are young.
Figure 3 Cats learn from birth.
Take the cat bath as an example. Many owners have a headache at the thought of bathing their cats. Every time they take a bath, it's like a war. They kindly cleaned their bodies and finally faced the situation that their arms were scratched. If cats want to learn to enjoy bathing, their owners must bathe them regularly from an early age. When bathing cats for the first time, you can put a little less water in the basin, as long as the water can drown their feet, so that cats will not run away immediately because they can't adapt for a while. When the cat is used to being washed by its owner in the water, it can gradually add water, but the water must not pass through the cat's body, otherwise it will make the cat feel oppressive and then choose to escape. The most important thing to train a cat to take a bath is not to make it afraid to take a bath. Take a few showers at first, and relax quickly. If the cat runs back to its nest wet, the owner should not reprimand it severely, otherwise the cat will resist taking a bath, and then it will become more and more difficult to take a bath in the future. In addition, in order to avoid the cat's aversion to bathing, the owner should try not to let the cat choke on the water or get the shower gel in his eyes when bathing the cat. However, if your cat enters the family as an adult, it may be difficult for them to take a bath. For cats that really can't take a bath, owners can buy dry cleaning powder special for pets to help them clean up.
? ? Third, let cats receive the education they deserve.
If cats grow up with their mother cats, brothers and sisters, they will learn how to get along with their companions, human beings and so on in the process of socialization. However, in some cases, kittens may leave their mothers and compatriots before learning these skills. At this time, they can only rely on the help of the new owner. For example, when a cat plays with you, it may bite you. When the cat is young, it won't cause you much trouble. Some owners even think that this is a cat's coquetry, but once a cat grows up, its teeth become sharp. Bite you again, and it may bite you directly. It is not easy to stop this behavior. To put an end to this kind of thing, the owner needs to stop it strictly when the cat starts to bite you. After several stops, most cats will stop this behavior.
? Fourth, training cats should also have skills.
Figure 4 When you start training cats, they may not even understand you at all.
Figure 5 As long as the owner is patient and has certain skills, the cat can sit in front of you and accept your command!
First of all, training cats must be patient, which is a long process of wits and courage. If you lose patience in training, it is tantamount to directly declaring that you have completely failed in this "battle". Secondly, you should use your wisdom. Cats are most likely to be trained when they are hungry, so you can use a period of time before meals to conduct technical training for cats, but the training time needs to be well grasped, because cats will not be patiently trained for a long time. If the cat is bored, it will protest directly. Finally, no matter how the cat makes mistakes or refuses to train, the owner should not severely punish the cat, otherwise the cat will only have rebellious psychology, and training will become more difficult from now on. Even if cats are willing to listen to you and reluctantly follow your instructions, it is only under your "arrogance" that they dare not expect anything. When you are away, they will show their true colors and "the whole world is mine". In the long run, such cats will be more violent and aggressive, and eventually fall into a vicious circle of "bad temper-difficult to discipline-punishment-worse temper".
5. Domestication of cats that enter the family as adults.
Fig. 6 Cats entering human families need to receive various trainings, such as peeing in the litter box and not grabbing the sofa.
Many cats did not enter the human family when they were very young. Some of them have been abandoned by their owners, adopted by good people, and some have been wandering since birth. For these cats, training may cost their owners a lot of time and energy, and in the end, some cats won't even accept your instructions. For cats like this, their owners don't have to force them to accept your instructions completely, as long as they can adapt to family life and master basic family survival skills.
