Unlike dogs, cats are more independent and selfish. They would do whatever they like to do. But you can teach cats, and they will learn, even a kitten could learn.
The methods to teach a kitten is totally different from the ways you do to your dog. Dogs are naturally willing to please the owners, so they would like listen to you. Cats, on the other hand, are not like that. Since they don’t care so much of the owners, they are not willing to do anything for you. But if you are teaching a kitten, you can be more successful to make your cat good one.
Play fight
Kittens like play fights. That’s how they learn how to hunt. They love to play fight with you. But as they do so, they can become serious and even hurt you if you let them. Teaching them not to scratch your hand, for example, is not by disciplining them. Remember, it’s not that you should use a good technique to discipline them. That’s not effective method for kittens. Whenever your kitten becomes a little aggressive while they he is playing fight, pull your hand quickly and don’t keep playing with him. Eventually, your kitten will learn that you are not playing with him when he is playing roughly.
No hitting
Punishments are inevitable. After all, they work prety well for many animals. But make sure you punish your pet right. Otherwise they can become more aggressive rather than learn something from it. Kittens don’t really learn much if you punish them physically. They can be angry and will keep doing the things you don’t want them to do. Here are more effective methods to punish them without hitting.
- Noise - cats don’t like a loud noise.
- Water - many cats hate water
Whenever your kitten misbehaves, make a noise . He will stop doing whatever he is doing and run. Repeat it until he learns. Using a water spray would do a better job. Almost all cats hate to get wet. Little splash on his face will do it.
