Training dogs is easy, but cats are difficult because their origins are different from their natural nature.

The ancestors of dogs are wolves and live in groups. The domestication of dogs occurred about 32,000 to 19,000 years ago. They were accompanied by ancient hunting and gathering groups and still lived in groups. Therefore, dogs’ group cooperative living habits were formed. This habit makes them easy to cooperate with others and easy to be trained.

But cats are different. Domestic cats originated from wild cats. They belong to the cat family along with lions, tigers and leopards. They are natural predators and are solitary in nature. They have almost no habit of group cooperation, so they are not so willing to "suffer". It is even more difficult to train oneself to cater to the owner's wishes and patterns in life. In this case, the owner should not do anything difficult, but should try to find ways to make it more adaptable to family life!

So how can owners use cats’ habits to integrate them into their homes?

01

Create a good atmosphere

Cats are very sensitive to their surrounding environment by nature. To allow them to live comfortably indoors, a soft bed is a must-have, and the food and water basins must be kept as clean as possible. The owner may wish to prepare a "fountain" water basin with flowing water. I believe the cat will love drinking water more and enjoy family life more. Of course, to keep your cat happy, a quiet environment and healthy and delicious food are also crucial.

02

Reject late night interruptions

Cats are out-and-out "night owls", and owners can increase their activity during the day and play more games with them. Even if you spend more time with the cat during the day and consume some of its energy, the cat may still meow to wake up the owner at night. At this time, the master's determination is very important, and he must resist it and ignore it. Otherwise the clever cat will remain willful later.

03

Leave the furniture alone

Cats naturally need to sharpen their claws. If there are no appropriate tools at home, the sofa or wooden furniture at home may suffer from this. There are glands on the cat's claws that can secrete the cat's unique scent, so once the cat has a history of scratching furniture, it will instinctively find the same place to sharpen its claws, so a claw sharpening stick is an essential choice. This not only It can solve the cat's need to sharpen his claws and protect the furniture from damage.

In short, letting cats "stay at home" really requires the owner to put more thought into it. Kakato is happy to help you understand cats. Starting from their nature and proceeding step by step, I believe cats will gradually understand your thoughts!
