Training your hyperactive cat
You walk in your home after being gone for a short time, or all
day from work and your cat has taken over the house. The drapes
are hanging not where they should be, a cup was tipped over with
the last few drops of coffee that has left a stain in the
carpet. The morning paper, which you were unable to finish
reading, is torn in shreds. Now is the time to put a stop to all
of that and train your cat. When you get home at night after
work or gone for a short time, you can come home to a nice
quiet, clean home and a healthily content cat.
Do not start by scolding your cat for all the mischief they
gotten into while you where gone. A cat cannot remember that far
back. Do not reward your cat for the wrong behaviors. Also, do
not go running after the cat, this leads them to think you are
playing with them and that is what they are looking for.
Catching them in the act of doing these things is a good time to
let your cat know that is not acceptable to do that. Rewarding
your cat when they have the good behavior is the best time.
Sometimes if you have a real big problem with your cats'
attitude, there are other options. You can purchase a kennel to
put your cat in there for short periods. On the other hand, even
get them a kitty psychiatrist to start addressing their bad
behaviors.
Starts when getting home spend some time with your cat relaxing.
Cats can also help us to relax; it is known that a cat could
help lower our blood pressure. Massaging your cat is another way
of showing them you do care about them and helps them to relax,
by knowing you will take good care of them.
A cat that is bored or lonely will have a tendency to do things
when you are gone. Make a safe and happy environment when you
are gone for your cat. Their special toys, strings items they
play with. A ball, a scratching tree to climb on, an empty box
of some type so they have a place to hide and play with. Your
cat can do many things while you are gone and not destroy your
home. Make them a perch somewhere near a window to have a place
to look out, watch for you and to sunbathe.
When teaching the cat the right behaviors you will need to help
them with this. Cats will not exercise themselves. Take time out
each day and play with you cat. Teaching your cat how to play
with the toys and item that you give them. Rewarding your cat
for good behaviors, with a healthy treat or special toy or just
a simple massage will also be rewarding for a cat.
A healthy cat can learn good behaviors; this is why it is
important for regular visits to the veterinarian. Cats require
shots, and healthy food for them. A cat that is lazy and fat is
not a healthy cat. Cats will not behave well for you and will be
almost impossible to train. It is important to feed healthy
foods and snacks to your cat. This will help continue to build
healthy bone and muscles for playtime and continue to let the
brain develop so that training comes easier as you go.
There are natural supplements that are not a drug that which can
be given to the cat to help with its fears and aggressions
control. Older cats are harder to train for new behaviors then
kittens are. When they are young, they are not sure what is
right and wrong. Kittens are born with some instincts that are
not good behaviors. Kittens have a tendency to be more playful
and will get into more things. This is why it is very important
to start your cat at very young age to teach them good
behaviors, and keep them from having bad ones. Remember when
your cat is running in circles, or having a bad day. Don't do as
the cat does. Relax you and your cat.
