Many cats have the habit of holding grudges. If the owner makes the cat unhappy, the cat may scratch the owner and not listen to the owner next time. Cats with such a naughty character give their owners a lot of headaches, so what should we do when cats hold grudges?

In fact, cats holding grudges are largely due to the punishment of their owners. Wrong way, using force to punish the cat. This method not only fails to punish the cat, but also has the opposite effect. Cat education methods should focus on a combination of rewards and punishments. For example, a cat doesn't like bathing, but every time you give it a bath, give it a food reward and give it a gentle touch. After a long time, it will understand that bathing = delicious food + massage, so it will gradually stop. I still resist taking a bath.

If the cat does something wrong, remember not to use force to punish it rudely. Instead, you can use other methods, such as the water spraying method recommended by some netizens. Cats hate getting wet. Buy a small watering can and fill it with water. When it does something wrong, spray its face twice and it will avoid it. The more times it is educated, the more it understands that doing something wrong means getting sprayed, so it makes fewer mistakes. At the same time, we can also scold the cat loudly, because cats also hate loud noises.

Of course, we should also pay attention to improving the relationship between ourselves and our cats. You can usually play with the cat more often using cat teasing sticks, etc., and do not force the cat to do anything. For example, if a cat doesn't like to be picked up, but you insist on hugging it, the cat will of course be unhappy. Try petting it from head to back, without touching the tail or belly. If your pet is willing to be touched, start bonding with it. Occasionally, you can also give it some favorite food as a reward. There is also a need to neuter the cat. It is normal for cats in estrus to become very irritable. After neutering, cats will become much gentler and easier to live with.

In any case, the development of a cat’s personality is more or less related to its owner. Therefore, when educating cats, you should pay attention to the methods. Although there is currently no scientific conclusion on whether cats will hold grudges, as owners, we can improve the relationship between ourselves and our cats step by step by doing good things in our daily lives, and the cats will no longer hold grudges against you.
