Did your cat do something wrong? For example, did it ignore the litter box, scratch the furniture, or knock over your favorite vase?
It is understandable that in such situations you want to scold your pet.
But still try to restrain yourself. Shouting will not help you re-educate your furry four-legged friend.
The opposite effect will be achieved. It is possible that the animal will dislike you and will start to behave even worse.
But let's figure out why exactly a cat shouldn't be raised by shouting and scolding.
The cat does not understand human speech
Don't even try to explain to the fluffy one his mistake.
The thing is that the animal won't understand anything anyway.
A cat may misunderstand the reason for its owner's screaming
If you think that your raised voice will definitely make the cat realize his guilt, then you are mistaken.
The cat may not see any connection between its actions and your screams. But the animal may be very offended, because you raise your voice at it “for no reason”.
Loud sounds can scare a cat
And the main reason: fluffy creatures experience stress when they hear loud sounds.
By yelling at a guilty cat, you will only frighten it. And at the same time you will not be able to explain to your pet what exactly it did wrong.
A cat will not treat well an owner who yells at it often.
How then to make your pet behave well? The answer is simple: speak calmly and reinforce the animal's positive actions with some tasty treat.
