How to correct a cat from scratching

Cats’ claws are naturally sharp, and some cats like to scratch people in life.

Maybe it is just playing with you and does not mean to do so, but if the owner is accidentally scratched by the cat, it will be easily injured. So, how to deal with the cat scratching? And how to correct its behavior?

Cats scratch people to protect themselves

Research has found that cats are animals with strong self-esteem, and the way kittens protect themselves is to scratch others and then escape smoothly to avoid danger.

Generally speaking, cats are very docile and pleasant pets. As long as you don't create danger for them or threaten them, they will not behave aggressively. Of course, cats may also scratch people for some reasons.

These are some of their habits

All of these can be corrected if we can stop them in time and educate them from an early age.

1. We should reprimand it loudly

The fastest and most direct way to get a cat to stop attacking and scratching is to scold and roar. The owner's scolding can make the cat stop immediately. As a kitten raised by its owner, it has a mentality of obedience and respect for its owner.

Therefore, when a cat makes a mistake, the owner’s reprimands and warnings are also particularly useful. Say "stop" loudly, and the kitten will stop its outstretched paw.

2. Train your cat into good habits from an early age

Of course, you want to correct your cat’s scratching habit. This requires training from an early age. Cats should develop good habits of contact with humans from an early age, and it is best for parents to educate and criticize their pet cats after they stop scratching people.

You can shout loudly or make an angry sound, and at the same time pat him on the head. Of course, it is a gentle pat rather than a malicious slap. Training and guidance from an early age can help a cat develop a good character and make it more stable and kind, instead of scratching and hurting people casually.
