18.06.2023 06:20
Cat owners love their pets so much that they indulge their every whim.
At kitten age they are so cute that it is simply impossible to refuse them, and at adult age it is already impossible to wean them off.
The article will tell you what bad habits people themselves cultivate in their cats and how you can wean an already trained pet.
Begging for food
Many people are familiar with the situation when the owner is having dinner and his cat is sitting with him and looking at his plate.
It is difficult to refuse a pleading face because of its cute look and because the animal can behave aggressively.
The problem needs to be addressed from the pet's early age. The animal should eat only from its own plate. When it starts begging, you need to take the pet to its food.
If he refuses, then remove the bowl for several hours. You need to do this until the whims end.
Co-sleeping in bed
Cats tend to sleep where it is warm, so the owner's bed becomes a place to sleep.
Moreover, the little kitten who is squeaking in the new house usually lies down in the bed so that he feels calmer. Meanwhile, this shows that the bed, pillow and blanket belong to him.
It will be difficult to get rid of the pet afterwards, or you can even get a claw on your hand. From the first day in the house, the baby should see that he has his own bed, or better yet, several, laid out in different rooms.
Walking on kitchen surfaces
Cats explore the space by jumping on high surfaces. But in the kitchen, they are usually attracted by all sorts of waste, fish, meat as food sources. Once they smell food, they will often visit the kitchen set.
In this case, the animal and its instincts cannot be blamed. A person must maintain exceptional cleanliness in the kitchen, throw away leftovers in a timely manner and store products that attract the pet in the right places, wash the dishes after cutting.
Games at night
The habit is formed when the kitten wakes up the person and the person starts to pet, feed, play with it. It is enough to do this a couple of times and the pet will acquire a night habit.
To prevent this from happening, you need to play well with your pet in the evening so that it sleeps soundly all night, and also feed it. A well-fed and tired pet is the key to a good night's sleep for its owner.
Whims, aggression
This behavior is typical for a spoiled pet, when the owner cannot say "no" to him since childhood. Indulging all the whims, he will not learn to refuse his desire, showing uncontrollability.
That is why it is so important to work with the cat from the moment it arrives at home. It is necessary to make it clear what is allowed and what is not. Any physical punishment is strictly prohibited, as the pet will become even angrier.
Indulgences to an animal can turn into unpleasant surprises for its owner in the future. A person will encounter a capricious, aggressive, demanding character, which he himself brought up in the animal.
It is necessary to work with the baby from the moment it appears in the house, and only then will a well-mannered cat grow up.
