Unfortunately, all the fuss and excitement about your new purchase can quickly die down and become a problem when the little one starts doing mischief, you name it: climbing and scratching on furniture, beds, curtains and everything else.

Playing aggressively and this intense playfulness that causes bites and scratches on you and other family members, and what's worse, and I personally find this more uncomfortable, household hygiene is significantly compromised, the new friend found a huge toilet.. . Your House.

But don't worry, this unwanted behavior from your new pet has a solution. The best and smartest way to deal with this ¨subject¨ is to take some time and train your pet. This also applies if your newly acquired pet is no longer a baby, I mean a semi-adult or adult cat.

Although it is well known that as a cat ages, it becomes established in its habits and this is very difficult to train. This is why you should start training early as it is the easiest. Don't wait until the worst is over and it might be too late. In this e-book you will learn how to train your cat in a simple, practical way, taking into account the main points you need to pay attention to in order to successfully achieve your goal... That the cat behaves as you want it... I wish you a good reading!!!!

Preparing the environment to bring a cat home

––––––––

Most kittens seem irresistibly cute and funny, but they all have one major flaw: ¨will grow¨. So there are a few more things you should know before bringing your kitty home. You'll need to research healthy foods, consult a veterinarian, research cat litter types and prices, find out where the nearest pet store is, and so on.

––––––––

There are a number of issues that can arise when adopting a kitten. Behavioral problems are normal for most of them.

These are usually basic problems such as chewing, scratching, climbing on beds, furniture, chairs, climbing curtains or defecating, and urinating in places where it shouldn't be done.

You should also pick your plants, hide your wires. It's a good idea to go outside and find something for your kitty to hide in. When they get home, they might get a little anxious and want to find a safe place to go. This could be a kitten condominium or a cat cage or kennel.

Scratching different objects can be a big problem, like scratching your favorite chair or scratching and breaking that expensive leather sofa.

It's normal for a cat to scratch, but to avoid catastrophe in your home, get yourself scratching items such as scratching sticks made specifically for the purpose, SCRATCH.

Place multiple posts in different rooms to give your cat more opportunities to scratch. Make sure you clip your cat's nails at least once a week. If there are still recurring problems with scratching, consider amputation of the claws.

BUT... The question of removing the cat's claws should be thought through; although it is permitted by law in some places, in my opinion it is not only an act of cruelty but also a handicap on our dear friend.

––––––––

Claws are a fundamental part of cat biology, not only do they help them hunt, or at least try to hunt, but they are also essential for the tasks of climbing or holding on to danger of falling. Such basic tasks would be impossible without their precious claws. Not only is it a very important defense tool. On the other hand, it not only hurts a cat physically, but also mentally, because she has feelings and tends to get depressed because she is unable to perform tasks that are inherent in her genes, such as feeding. B. simple climbing.

For all the reasons explained above, it is advisable to look for alternatives to such torture and one alternative is the boots (shoes), such shoes are available in pet shops and online. This will help them not to scratch the furniture or other things.

Sometimes kittens will nibble on various things such as shutter cords, drapes, almost anything that sways and can catch your attention. In this case, the solution is simple: grab your ropes and put them out of reach, or just unplug them. You can also get a special sleeve for the cords.

Physical punishment of a cat will only make the cat afraid of you. So never, ever hit your cat or any other form of physical punishment that could hurt it and cause it pain.

Cats don't like surprises; one advantage you will have over them is that you can train them with unexpected noises.

Use applause, a firm NO voice, whistles, or a water bottle to discourage your cat from unwanted behavior.

For these to be effective, you must immediately make a surprising noise when the unwanted behaviors take place. Seconds later, or even when you come home and find that the cat has trashed the house, it won't be as effective as doing it once the cat starts the unwanted behavior.

In case our little friend is a fan of bites, never rub the cat's nose. Use the face-press method by pressing the palm of your hand into the animal's face. This is a great way to let your cat know that biting is not acceptable. If your cat is addicted to biting, just gently push the cat's face back without hitting or hurting them.

––––––––

Some cat behaviors cannot be trained, remember that they are an animal and not a human and therefore all of their natural instincts cannot be suppressed.

Items used for child protection can provide solutions to some problems. In small plastic containers to keep valuables out of reach, find places to put dangerous items so your cat cannot access them.

Make sure any objects for the cat to climb on if it has a climbing or jumping problem are secure.

––––––––

Pet stores offer a variety of sprays, creams, powders, scents, and other items to help with training.

They also have some electric mats/mats, these mats give off small discharges as they are battery operated. They are ideal for the counter, sofa or anywhere the cat has climbed up when it decided to play or lie down on it.
