What to do if the cat is rebellious
1. Keep the cat in a cage
If the owner really has nothing to do with the rebellious cat, the easiest and most effective way is to put the cat in a cage. In this way, the owner does not have to worry about the trouble of feeding the cat, and the cat does not need to be more rebellious because of the owner’s responsibilities. However, the meaning of this approach is not to give up educating the cat in the rebellious period, but to distance itself from the cat in the rebellious period, so that it can have a relatively independent space to spend its rebellious period, and at the same time, it can also avoid the cat’s irritability and injury people. At least this way the cat won’t get mad at the owner.
2. Change your attitude
When the cat is in the rebellious period, it is easy to be provoked by some trivial things. At this time, the owner needs to adjust his attitude towards the cat. When the cat in the rebellious period makes a mistake, if the owner forcibly corrects the cat’s mistakes, it will easily make the cat’s temper more irritable; and if the owner ignores the cat in the rebellious period, it will cause the cat to become more reckless. Therefore, in the face of such a cat, the owner should pay attention to its movements while touching it in a gentle way. Do not use corporal punishment, roaring, or not feeding the cat. This will only have the opposite effect.
3. More physical contact than cats

The training and teaching during this period directly affects the future personality and temperament of cats. But it is also easy to cause the cat to have a rebellious attitude and be dissatisfied with the owner. Because cats at this time have no clear distinction between good and evil, they may show bad behaviors such as scratching the owner, biting paper towels, and fighting.
At this time, the owner needs to pay attention to removing the hostility from the cat, and have more friendly and intimate interactions with it, such as gently petting the cat, playing games with the cat, etc.
4. Don’t take the initiative to provoke cats
Sometimes, cats in the rebellious period may attack the owner, even if the owner doesn’t do anything to make them sunny. However, after being attacked by the cat, the owner should be careful not to reprimand him immediately, he should endure it temporarily, so as not to enhance the cat’s rebellious temperament. However, it is not necessary for the owner to endure it all the time. Generally, the cat’s rebellious period is relatively short. You only need to ignore it when the cat is rebellious. Time will slowly heal the cat’s bad attitude during the rebellious period.
5. Spay and sterilize cats
Sexing and neutering cats is also a good way to eliminate the cat’s rebellious period. The rebellious period of most cats occurs during the period from 6 months to 1 year old, and the cat’s estrus period is also at this time, so cats may perform some rebellious behaviors because of estrus, such as marking and fighting. , howling in the middle of the night, etc. These are the behaviors that cat rebellion often occurs, and these behaviors will appear more frequently during the cat’s estrus period. If the owner has no intention of letting the cat have children, he can reduce his rebellious behavior by neutering the cat.
