How to keep a cat so you can obey
Raising a cat is a fun and challenging thing. Cats’ independent and autonomous personality often makes them seem “doing their own ways” and are not as easy to be trained as dogs. However, after correct guidance and care, cats can also become obedient and sensible.
1. Scientific diet management
Diet management is the basis for making cats obedient. Cats are carnivorous animals and require a high-protein, low-carb diet. Choosing high-quality cat food to ensure balanced nutrition is the first step to ensure cat health. To make cats obedient, diet management can start from the following aspects
1. Regular and regular feeding
Develop the habit of cats eating regularly and regularly, which will help prevent cats' obesity and digestive problems. You can divide the cat food into several meals, and the amount of food is moderate each time to avoid excessive amounts.
2. Reward mechanism
can give appropriate snack rewards after the cat is obedient or completes the instructions. This reward mechanism can help cats establish good behavioral habits, but be careful not to too much snacks to avoid affecting the intake of staple food.
3. Choose healthy snacks
Choose healthy cat snacks and avoid high-sugar and high-salt snacks. You can choose natural and healthy snacks such as cat grass and dried fish fillets.
2. Basic training skills
Training cats requires patience and skills. Although cats are not as easy to accept instructions as dogs, through scientific methods, cats can also learn some basic behavioral norms. Here are some practical training techniques
1. Use positive reinforcement
to strengthen the good behavior of the cat through rewards. For example, when a cat uses a litter box, a snack reward is given; when a cat responds when you call it, a reward can also be given.
2. Short-term training
Cats have a short attention span, so each training should not be too long, and it is appropriate to have 5-10 minutes. Excessive training time may make the cat feel bored, and the effect will be poor.
3. Fixed commands
use simple and clear passwords and gestures to avoid frequent replacement of commands. For example, when calling a cat over, you can use the fixed word "come over" and cooperate with gestures.
4. Do not use violence
Do not use violence to punish cats. Violence will only make cats feel scared and affect your trust relationship.
3. Increase interaction time
Cats are animals that need care. Increase interaction time with cats will help establish a good relationship and make them more willing to obey their owner's instructions. Interaction time can be performed in the following ways
1. Toy game
Use cat sticks, laser pens and other toys to interact with cats, which can not only consume their energy, but also increase your feelings. Toy games can also inspire cats to hunt instincts and meet their natural needs.
2. Feeling and hug
Proper caressing and hugging can make the cat feel safe and comfortable. Especially when cats are performing well, giving gentle caress is an effective reward.
3. Language communication
often talk to cats and communicate in a gentle tone. Although cats may not necessarily understand what you say, they can feel your emotions and attitudes.
4. Creating a comfortable and quiet living environment is the basis for making cats obedient. Cats are very sensitive to changes in the environment, and a safe and comfortable home can make them feel at ease and easier to train and manage.
1. Set up a dedicated cat area
for cats to set up a dedicated activity area, including cat climbing racks, cat nests, cat litter box, etc. This will allow the cat to have its own territory and reduce anxiety.
2. Keep the environment clean
Cats are very clean animals. Regularly clean cat litter box, food bowl and water fountain to keep the environment clean and hygienic, which will help cats’ health and comfort.
3. Provide a variety of toys and activities
Cats like to explore and play, and provide a variety of toys and activity venues that can keep them alive and reduce destructive behavior.
5. Regular health management
Healthy cats will have good behavioral performance. Regular health checks and care are an important part of ensuring that cats are obedient.
1. Regular physical examinations
Take the cat for a comprehensive physical examination every year to promptly detect and deal with potential health problems. Physical examinations include blood tests, urine tests and routine physical examinations.
2. Vaccination
In accordance with the advice of the veterinarian, vaccinate cats on time to prevent common infectious diseases.
3. Deworming and deworming
Regularly deworming internally and externally to prevent parasite infection. Especially for cats with more outdoor activities, they should pay more attention to deworming measures.
4. Oral care
The oral health of cats is also very important. Regularly brush your cat's teeth or use oral care products to prevent dental diseases.
6. Understand and respect the nature of cats
Finally, understanding and respecting the nature of cats is the key to making them obedient. Cats have their own independent personality and living habits, and they cannot force them to do things they don’t like. Only by observing and understanding the behaviors and habits of cats and giving appropriate guidance and care can the cats be truly obedient.
1. Respect the independence of cats
Cats are naturally independent and do not interfere with their lives too much. Give cats some space and time to stay alone and let them move freely.
2. Understand cats' emotions
The emotional changes of cats are sometimes subtle. By observing their behavior, call and body language, you can understand their emotional state. Adjust the interaction style according to the cat's emotions and avoid forcing them to do things they don't like.
3. Give enough attention
Although cats are independent, they also need the attention and care of their owners.. Take some time every day to interact with the cat to increase emotional connection.
Raising a cat is a process that requires patience and love. Through scientific diet management, effective training skills, increasing interaction time, creating a comfortable living environment, regular health management, and understanding and respecting the nature of cats, your cat can become more obedient and sensible. I hope every cat owner can experience more happiness and satisfaction while getting along with the cat.
