The cat’s personality is relatively arrogant and not as obedient as the dog. We need to know more about the cat’s body language to judge the cat’s state.

How to train a cat to stop commands

Instant contact method

When the cat is doing something bad:

Scratch, bite, urinate , scratching furniture, chewing on lipstick, etc., we need to interrupt it immediately and say “No” to it in a stern tone.

In fact, what a word uses is just a code, it’s just a word that you communicate with the cat, and other words can also be used. The key is tone. The cat has never studied foreign languages and cannot understand English words, but it can understand the tone. Through repeated training for a long time, the cat can know the meaning of this word is not allowed.

It needs to stop the cat immediately. It is best to interrupt it within 2 seconds of doing this. The cat’s memory focus is different from that of people. If you leave the current scene, even if you reprimand the cat again, the cat will I don’t know why you should reprimand it.

Enhanced Feedback

The cat just did something bad and you stopped it, the cat may later Do the same bad things in other places, or do bad things when you leave because they are afraid of you.

After we issue a stop order to the cat, punishment is needed to reinforce the cat’s perception of what was wrong.

Cancel the ongoing game

If you are petting the cat and the cat is ready to scratch and bite, after you issue a stop command, the cat stops moving,

At this time, you need to stop the ongoing petting, isolate the cat and think about it. Play is very important for the cat, because of its inappropriate actions, and the lack of a playmate, it will strengthen its memory.

When you are teasing the cat with a cat stick, when the cat is playing, it suddenly shifts the target, crawling and hugging your legs, you need to stop it immediately, and end the game, let the cat know to climb the legs or attack You have no game.

Cancellation of rewarded food and snacks

If a cat wets the bed or scratches furniture, it is best to stop it on the spot, but we often find out after the fact. At this time, we bring the cat to the crime scene to identify, so that the cat can think of the bad thing as much as possible, not only will it be reprimanded, but it may also lead to starvation.

The three main needs of cats are:

Avoidance, food, and sex.

If your reprimand does not reach the level of danger to the cat, the reprimand effect is not as good as starvation.

At the same time, we not only need to tell the cat what to do, what not to do, and what to be punished, but also to improve the cat’s living environment and conditions to encourage the cat to change these bad habits.

What if the cat ignores your reprimand?

The cat’s eyes are erratic

When you reprimand the cat, the cat is like a wind in the ear and doesn’t respond.

The cat doesn’t look at you because it doesn’t dare to look at you and doesn’t want to conflict with you. If the cat stares at you, purrs at you, and dares to fight back with its paws, this is real resistance.

The cat resists

Don’t hit the cat with your hands, try not to hit the cat, let alone hit the cat with your hand, hit the cat with your hand, the cat will easily resist and scratch you.

If you can’t verbally stop the cat from doing bad things, you can use tools to stop it. If you use tools, the cat will stop doing the bad things and run away, even if you just pick it up, the cat will run away quickly.

Try not to hit the cat, it will affect your relationship and run away when you see you.

Cat Makeup       

If you reprimand your cat, the cat starts to bury her head in grooming. It means that the cat is injured and is sorting out soothing emotions or eliminating embarrassment.

Cats often make mistakes in bouncing, or get beaten, or be beaten by other cats, and then groom their hair to calm down.
