How To Discipline A Cat - Let me make it clear what my own opinion is. It is not so much a question of how to discipline the cat, but more a case of how do you get a cat to do what you want it to complete and stop doing everything you do not want it to accomplish this is important.
I think that when you want to achieve those aims then you've to understand that generally in most, if not all, circumstances discipline can in fact be counterproductive.
In this post I will go into the wrong and correct way to achieve what you want and your whole household happy.
Not Discipline A Cat
Cats are not small humans, reasoning together is not possible so unlike a person who can have privileges removed, or whatever other punishment is reasonable, they do not understand consequences as we do, particularly if the punishment comes after the event.
Follow that strategy and the cat will begin to associate the punishment along with you. Far from the happy contented feline friend you want you will end up with somebody that will start to avoid you in the future.
I particularly don't advocate any form of action which will cause a cat pain. Negative stimuli to change an activity is one thing in can be subtle and never frightening.
How To Discipline a Cat
How To Train A Cat - The whole disciple thing regarding cats is not actually discipline at all while i intimated above. It is more a guidance away from the negatives and on the positive.
For example have you got trouble training your cats to keep off counters? This is one where the gentle approach works. I've always advocated never giving them a reason not to climb on counters but since the clean surfaces with a material such as kitchen foil, which cats dislike walking on is an excellent deterrent. After a short while you will see that you can stop achieving this. This is just one tactic accessible to you.
Your cat can be very easily conditioned, it isn't hard to do and only requires perseverance. For example although cats will not come running the same way a dog will there exists a good chance that if you are aware that your cat wants feeding you will want to call it by name while you put the dish down. By association you stand an improved chance of the cat coming when called (or otherwise not if the cat doesn't want to on this occasion, cats have a habit of proving you wrong just whenever you think you are winning).
If the cat has a behaviour that you do not like such as pulling all of the paper off the roll inside the bathroom then turn the roll so that it cannot do it. The habit of smoking will fade and you will turn it back later if you want.
How To Discipline A Kitten - Always subtle. Your cat will probably the toilet where you don't want it to go? Get it and put it in the litter tray, make where it went slightly unpleasant by cleaning with strong smelling solutions deposit deterrents.
Remember it is behaviour change that people are trying to encourage. Any severe punishment could just lead to your cat just packing its bags and leaving.
We have given just a few suggestions here, you will find of course far more items that you can do that are at night scope of this article. Like i said previously above there are several other techniques you can use for training if you wish to know how to discipline a cat
I cannot stress a lot of to you that it is not so much about learning punishment but persuasion in the kind and humane way.
