Many pet friends think that cats are noble and cold-blooded, and it is difficult to train them like dogs, but there are no absolutes in this world. In fact, cats can also be trained in some basic movements. It just depends on whether you have the determination and patience to teach them. Below, the editor has prepared four major precautions for cat training for novices. Once you understand it, you will have a lot to learn when training cats. Great effect! (For reference only)

1. Master the age and timing of training your cat

Cat training should begin when the cat is 2 to 3 months old, when it is easier to accept training and lay the foundation for future improvement. If it is an adult cat, it will be more difficult to train. The best time to train a cat is before feeding, because hungry cats are willing to get close to people and are more obedient. The temptation of food to cats makes training easier to succeed.

2. Train the cat with a kind attitude and a combination of various stimulations

Cats have a stubborn personality, strong self-esteem, and do not want to be manipulated by others. Therefore, during training, various stimuli and methods should be organically combined and used, and the attitude should be friendly, just like playing with the cat. Even if you make a mistake, do not reprimand or punish him too much, lest the cat will react to it. Training creates aversion, which affects the completion of the entire training plan.

3. Training cats should be done step by step and not too hastily

Only one movement can be taught at a time, and several trainings must not be performed at the same time. It is difficult for a cat to learn many movements at once. If it is always done poorly, it will also cause the cat to lose confidence, cause the cat to feel bored, and make future training difficult. Each training time should not be too long, no more than 10 minutes, but you can train several times a day.

4. The environment for training cats should be quiet

Several people cannot train at the same time to avoid distracting the cat’s attention. The training action should not be too sudden or make loud noises, because cats are very sensitive to loud noises or sudden movements, so as not to scare the cat away, hide, and be unwilling to accept training.
