Methods to train Persian cats not to steal food:

1. We must ensure that Persian cats cannot reach food. If a Persian cat is found stealing food, educate it. For example, spray water on it, etc. This causes the Persian cat to form a conditioned reflex and know that stealing food is a bad behavior.

2. If a Persian cat eats secretly, it is most likely that it is really hungry. The owner should think about whether his feeding is correct. According to normal feeding, try to eat small meals more often, about three to four times a day. Combining canned pet food with dry pet food to reward cats or increase their appetite can get twice the result with half the effort.

Notes on training Persian cats:

1. Force means using mechanical stimulation and threatening commands to make Persian cats perform corresponding actions accurately. When using this method with Persian cats, you must control the intensity of stimulation, because Persian cats often feel self-righteous and eat soft food rather than hard food.

2. Induction refers to using food, objects or the actions of the trainer to induce Persian cats to perform certain actions. It is more suitable to use induction training method to train Persian cat kittens.

3. Rewards are to strengthen the correct movements of Persian cats, consolidate the formed conditioned reflexes or regulate the neural activity state of Persian cats. Reward methods include food, praise and caressing.

4. Including scolding, intimidation, beating, etc. Once it is discovered that a Persian cat has some bad habits, punishment methods should be used in time. In order to prevent the Persian cat from feeling fearful or tired of training.
