Why is it difficult to train a cat? In fact, the way you train it is incorrect! We all know that cats are not as obedient as dogs. Cats have their own sense of independence and may not be that obedient, but this is also a cat The cuteness, isn't it? Let’s take a look at why cats are difficult to train.

Siamese cat (detailed introduction)

As we all know, cats cannot accept strict obedience training like dogs. Cats are aloof by nature, relatively smart and practical. Historically, cat ancestors have lived a lone ranger life for a long time and know how to protect themselves. Moreover, cats have strong self-esteem and it is difficult to ask them to obey people's will. Usually, cats are only willing to be controlled by people when they think it is beneficial to them. For example, when it is hungry or feels cold, it will make requests to people and obey certain commands. But you have to understand that most of the time, when a cat lies in its owner's arms, it is out of its own free will and it is not following your orders. When it rubs its owner with its head and body and makes delicate meows, it is just because it is hungry, wants to eat, or has some requests that people cannot understand.

Of course, it does not mean that cats cannot be trained at all. Cats are very smart and can learn many actions and behaviors. If you start training kittens from five to six months old, you can still achieve some results. For example, it can train cats to open doors, extend their claws, roll, hold objects, and fix themselves in a certain place to excrete. Kittens are more dependent and more plastic during this period, so they need to step up their training to form habits. Otherwise, after the cat reaches one year old and matures, its personality gradually strengthens, and it is no longer willing to obey human training.
