Cats

Things to note when training kittens, cat lovers, come and take a look! Cats should develop good habits from an early age, so that the grown cats will be easier to feed. When training kittens, the owner Pay attention to the following points.

1. Kittens are easier to train than adult cats. Don’t miss the kitten’s growth process, otherwise it will become like “if you don’t train it when you are young, it will turn out to be an idiot”.

2. Do the right training at the right time. Don't dwell on old scores. Cats are very forgetful. If you do well, reward the cat immediately. If you do something wrong, stop and punish the cat immediately. Only then will the training be effective.

3. The three-hearted policy of patience, love and determination. Every cat has a different personality. For example, cats with high self-esteem should not be scolded easily. For cats with strong inertia, owners should always remind them that "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude" is also useful for cats.

Call its name: When you call it for a long time, but the cat doesn’t notice it, the owner must feel very leaky, right? Regarding the training of "understanding one's own name", many people think that cats are more difficult to teach than dogs. In fact, this is not the case. Basically, the IQ of cats is not inferior to that of dogs. "Understanding one's own name" also comes from the owner's skills. The training of patience.

Bait method: Before eating and when taking out the rice bowl, keep calling its name; when showing its favorite snacks (dried fish, cheese, etc.), call it immediately its name. If you associate the name with the food, the cat will remember it quickly.

Timing method: When the cat is excited and happy, call its name as often as possible. For example, games, petting, chin scratching, gentle combing, etc. Calling the cat's name frequently when it feels comfortable and happy can also enhance the effect of remembering the name.

One whip method: When a cat is familiar with the name, it can detect the owner's emotions from the tone of the owner's name. Therefore, don’t “trap” the cat in the stage of learning its name. For example, if the cat is causing trouble, the owner pretends to call it over in order to punish it. The unsuspecting cat comes obediently, but is spanked by the owner. After a few times, the cat will be confused about the owner’s intention of calling it? Even when I heard the name, I thought I would be punished and ran away immediately!

Remedy: If the mistake has been made, you can only consider changing its name and starting from scratch. There are also cases where adult cats can get used to new names, but the chances are relatively low. Some cats don't understand their own names, but they just want to respond or not, so there's no way around it.
