Due to the cat’s own personality, training a cat has become a more difficult task. Although we can often see many well-trained dogs performing various unique tricks, it is difficult to see a well-trained cat. Although we don’t have to force our cats to do well, some basic training still needs to be completed.

1. Find the right time for training

1. Education should start from a young age

Infancy is a good time for cats to train and correct their bad habits. Relatively speaking, cats at this time have a faster acceptance rate. Moreover, cats that have been raised since childhood have a better relationship with their owners, so their acceptance may be better.

2. You can train before meals

Training when cats are hungry, and then using food as a reward may increase their motivation for training, and the effect will be relatively better.

　3. Clear attitude

It is a very important issue to use both soft and hard tactics, as well as kindness and power. For cats with a tough attitude, you need to be stricter, criticize them in a timely manner, and use a stern tone. For cats with better personalities such as Ragdolls (details), the attitude should be firm and the tone can be slightly gentler.

4. Don’t rush training, be patient

Training a cat is not an easy task in itself, so it is even more taboo to rush for quick success. Training a cat requires enough patience. Training a few more times will definitely improve things. Each training time should not be too long, as it will easily make the cat lose patience.

5. Maintain a good environment

A good environment is very important for cats. If the cat is in a noisy place, the cat will not like it very much and will not be able to concentrate. The training effect may be greatly reduced. Cats are also very sensitive and may become sensitive to the environment if they are not careful. It creates alertness, so the cat should feel completely safe. ​​​​​​

2. Precautions for training

1. Use food rewards appropriately

When cats complete an action or are obedient, give them a snack reward. After a few times, the cat will know how to make the owner happy and have snacks to eat, and use this as a link. .

　2. Pay attention to the password

When using food to induce, you can also use fixed passwords. Fixing is very important. Do not have different passwords for the same action. This may cause the cats to be confused. Let them connect the actions with the password. Next time When you hear this tone of voice, you know what to do.

Develop good eating habits

This should be standardized from the beginning, whether it is a habit issue or a health issue.It’s quite important, so don’t be careless. It is not advisable to feed too many snacks, and feed as little human food as possible. Once cats eat better food, their interest in the previously poor food will be much reduced.

Good bowel habits

Cat’s excrement has a strong odor, so if they are not allowed to develop good excretion habits, it is easy for the odor to fill the room, so while training, you must also prepare suitable cat litter and litter boxes. , and pay attention to cleaning the cat litter regularly.

For Ragdoll cats, bad behavioral habits need to be trained and corrected, but we don’t have to deliberately force cats to complete some more difficult actions, because there is really not much room for them to use them, and it takes a lot of effort. time.
