All about raising and re-education of cats

Education cats is an obligatory stage of their growth and development. Otherwise, the pet may grow aggressive, causing inconvenience to all members of the household. Like a child, he requires attention, and in his absence he feels unnecessary, which is manifested in anger and self-will. The material in this article will help the reader to understand when and how to engage in the educational process with your pet.

A cat is considered a regime animal, and under certain conditions it quite quickly becomes accustomed to the rules established in a particular house. Her upbringing begins in early childhood, and the mother cat begins to do this. From birth and up to two months of age, kittens under cat care learn to build relationships and communicate with each other. This is the basic socialization.

Kittens are taken from cats at about 2 months. By this time they are already going through the first basics of communication, solving conflict situations, gaining tactics of behavior. Around this time, you can start raising pets.

Breeders give other kittens only in three months, accompanied by documentation, which includes a veterinary certificate and pedigree. As a rule, these babies are already accustomed to the tray and vaccinated. Once the pet has moved away from parting with his mother, you can start his upbringing. Particular importance should be given to its security and the creation of borders.

Already by four months the baby will understand the diet, will understand the time of wakefulness. If you miss this moment, it will be more difficult to raise a tender and calm pet. If you shift the procedure of education from day to day, you can wait for the pet to start marking the territory in half a year.

Do not indulge all the whims of a pet, so as not to raise a naughty cat or uncontrollable cat. In any home there should be rules ranging from feeding to personal space. You can not allow your pet aggressive games, scratching, biting owners. You can not ignore the animal, because by itself it will not be smart and educated.

Within six months after the kitten is brought home, it is important to create a calm atmosphere for him so that he can relax and feel safe. Excluded stressful situations in the form of:

• noisy gatherings with friends;
• loud music, especially metal or rock;
• walks around the house on a leash;
• screaming, sudden movements, aggression in tone of voice;
• gazes, touching the base of the tail and belly;
• penalties offending the animal.

Note the 10 basic rules.

• The feeding time is sacred: it is necessary to withstand certain hours and feeding frequency.
• You can never frighten a kitten, and even an adult cat during sleep.
• It is impossible to start aggressive games with a kitten, to annoy him purposely or to hold him by the tail or paws by force.
• You can not shout at a pet, because he understands the intonation of the host very well.
• From the first day it is important to equip the kitten its own space. He should have his own bed and toys. He should not sleep in the beds of the owners.
• Every day you need to talk with your pet, stroke it, caress it. However, you can not climb to the baby with his love, if he is busy with something.
• You can not shout at the baby when bathing, even if he is very scared and scratched. It is impossible to scare him on purpose with the loud noise of the included vacuum cleaner.
• You can not beat the animal, forcing it to stand or sit according to your desire.
• It is important to provide the cat with access to its tray, stove, and bowl.
• In addition to food, a pet should always have a bowl of water, he should not look for water in the sink, toilet or sink.

It is important in the first month after the kitten adapts to the new conditions, to begin the hygiene of the ears, hair and eyes. This should become a habit, like visiting a veterinarian for preventive check-ups.

It is not uncommon for kittens to be held in their arms at the time when they need to go to the toilet. Situations end in petty trouble. At the same time, kids feel discomfort and in the future try to hide from annoying households. To teach a kitten to the tray at home is easy. As soon as the baby begins to fuss and hiccup the toilet, it is necessary to transfer it to the tray.

To make the kitten more understandable, you can pick up a tray, similar to the one that was in the nursery, by purchasing a similar filler. As a rule, small kittens go to the toilet about 15-20 minutes after eating. This is the best time to follow them.

Such a host behavior will frighten the animal. The kid will think that it is impossible to do this in the house. And since he will not be able to endure forever, he will hide. Puddle or excrement should be collected with a napkin and placed in a tray. After that, the kitten itself should be placed in the tray with its paws so that it smells and understands where the latrine is located.

The place where the "surprise" occurred Rinse and treat with Antigadin. If you do not do this, you can expect more trouble there. First, put the tray near the baby. As he grows up and better master the house, the tray is moved to a permanent place.

Surely, many are familiar with the situation when cats destroy not only the upholstery of upholstered furniture, but also wallpaper and even clothes with claws. In order to prevent this, it is necessary to purchase a special device, also called a kogtetochka, for a small kitten. You do not have to grab the kitten and scratch its paws on the device: often enough to play alongside, and for this, the claw can be part of the game complex. Kogtetochka should be in a kitten by 5-6 months.

In order to prevent bad habits from rooting, you can buy several devices by installing them at the front door and in places where the kitten spends most of his waking hours.

Pay attention to the kitten, and the adult cat needs every day. This may be a joint walk in the fresh air, games, conversations. As a rule, it is individuals devoid of human caress that snort and hiss more often than others. Confident animals are calm. You can take the baby in his arms when he allows it, but rarely it’s absolutely impossible to do it.

If the baby is sleeping, you can not touch it: it deprives the cat of a sense of security in his own bed. And so he will hide to rest easy. In order for a kitten to grow gentle, communication with it should be similar. This care, how about the child, feeding, restful sleep and active games, encouraging to explore the world and no stressful situations.

In addition, its condition is influenced by nutrition. To avoid anxiety, you need to properly feed the baby, picking up a nutritious diet according to his age. In addition to industrial feed, it should be natural food, and fresh.

Under no circumstances, for the purpose of education, it is impossible to beat an animal, no matter what its age. This leads to his bitterness, and sometimes revenge. Never forceful methods will not lead to the fact that the animal will become obedient and affectionate. The little kitten will grow up shy and nervous, he will be afraid of his master.

To achieve good behavior from a cat with bad behavior will not work. The tone of communication with the guilty and disobedient animals can be strict, but not irritated or aggressive.

We note several main problems and ways to solve them.

• So that the cat does not bite during the game, the bitten finger can be pushed a little deeper. The animal will remember the discomfort well and will quickly understand that it is not necessary to repeat this.
• If the cat constantly overturns something, put coins in these containers. When the container drops, there will be a loud sound that pets do not like, a couple of times the cat will be enough to not climb into this place anymore.
• Cats do not beat the dishes specifically for wild races. Like a mother cat, it is possible, but not for a short while to chill the cat by touching the tip of its nose (this is how a mother cat cat "scolds" kids).
• Do not scold the cat for a week for any offense. He quickly forgets what. You can not go to the cry.
• So that the cat does not jump where it is impossible, stick some sticky tape on these places for a while. She doesn’t like it very much, besides, she remembers the places where you shouldn’t conquer the “tops of the house”.
• If a cat steals food, it's your fault. Clean it immediately after the meal, wash the dishes, hide the rest in the refrigerator. You need to feed the cat before your meal.
• So that the cat doesn’t ride on your clothes, generously presenting it with its wool, use sprays based on vegetable components. Cats do not like many smells and do not climb to where they exude.
• If an animal is not indifferent to houseplants and overturns them together with the ground, it is necessary to dissolve black pepper in water and sprinkle it on the plant.
• For good behavior, you can encourage your pet with sweets or praise.
• So that the cat does not foul in the house in the wrong places, it should not be tame. In addition, it should not be allowed to be offended by children, you can not torture the animal.

Cats understand the degree of closeness of relationships. So that the animal does not feel lonely and useless it is necessary to play with him from childhood, finding for this 15 minutes in the morning and in the evening. At the same time, it is advisable to ensure that the time of the game is at the same time every day. This will teach the kitten to a certain mode, when he can ask for attention.

You can not play with the animal, using, instead of toys, hands or feet. You can not tease the animal, considering it to be harmless games: it is these "methods of education" that turn a good and intelligent kitten into evil and aggressive. It is impossible to pinch wool or pinch it: it causes pain, and therefore the animal can respond in the same way.

If the game becomes aggressive, it must be stopped by moving the pet to another room and allowing him to calm down. If it does not immediately reach him, then over time this measure will work. We can not allow the cat to assume that such behavior is worthy of reward and at least some attention. Blow your pet into another room and make a note in a stern voice.

When cats are not indifferent to curtains (for example, they spoil them, gnaw and tear claws), you can try to sprinkle pets with water from a small atomizer. It helps other individuals: henceforth they try not to repeat this.If the animal has taken the rule to mark the territory, the place of the tags should be treated with a solution of essential oil with citrus. In most cases, this discourages a similar hunt.

There are cases when a cat does not recognize the authority of the owner. This is explained by the fact that since childhood the baby slept with the man in the same bed. It is in the bed that a large concentration of odor accumulates, and therefore from childhood the kitten considers itself equal to the owner. With age, he may consider himself the dominant member of the family or its leader. Re-educate such cats is difficult, and sometimes completely impossible.

So that he does not shit in different places, the tray should be cleaned every time the animal visits it (it is especially important to immediately get rid of excrement). You can not move the cat foot, if he turns around, you can not blame him in what he is not guilty. Never cause a scream to be a bad mood of the host. Teach a cat to care, and over time he will learn to feel sorry for you, purring beside him and calming his face with friction on his cheek or hand.
