Cats are almost always depicted as loners, the lords of their realm, snobbish and downright stubborn. This is a type of animal that is quite proud, going their own way and rarely following orders. Think of Garfield. While this could be quite unfair to the cat, they are almost always compared to the loyalty and obedience of a dog, qualities which make them a popular pet all over the world.
Hence, cat owners are recommended to train them immediately. This establishes the role of each person in the household. Cat training allows for the cat owner to train his or her cat and eventually leads up to a long-lasting loving relationship between owner and pet. Just like having a child, a pet cat that knows how to follow orders and is a source of pride and joy will be given great attention and love and more rewards.
But, before you start training your cat, discover first its instincts and behaviors. As cat owners, we must respect what is but natural to every cat, so we don’t encroach into those instincts.
It is not uncommon for some cats to feel depression and stress, so do not mistake this for stubbornness or hard-headedness. This may cause a rift between you and your cat. The more you scream at it and hurt it, the more the wedge and rift grow, making it harder to do cat training.
Has your cat checked out by a vet first before any cat training? There are many factors to consider first. If the vet gives the thumbs-up sign then you are good to go. Cat training will provide for a happier and healthier cat-owner relationship.
