Cat Training: Avoid Common Mistakes by Kathrynn Kelley

Cats are typically maintenance-free pets, that are cute and lovable, but still require care and love. While they are able to maintain their own hygiene, the loving owner must still understand that cats have needs, such as adequate nutrition and proper grooming outside of that which the cat can provide for himself.

Like a dog who hasn't had the proper training to behave indoors, cats can create many problems for the owner. Training a cat is not overly difficult. Cats will often use their claws and scratch and destroy the furniture. Kitten training normally includes teaching the animal not to scratch furniture, utilizing a scratching post. The house will smell badly if the cat is not properly potty trained.

Clawing is a problem in many kittens, and has several solutions. Some people feel that declawing is a viable solution. Many people feel that declawing is cruel, and prevents the cat from climbing or protecting itself from other animals. Teaching a kitten when it is young to use a scratching post is a much kinder solution to the problem

Because the kitten won't know what to do with the scratching post right away, you'll need to teach it. Try taking its paws in your hands and guiding them through the scratching motion. The cat will need lots of repetitions before it learns, so this type of cat training should be done as often as possible.

The litter box is yet another important part of cat training. It is the means by which you teach a cat what to do when it has to go so that you can eventually collect and discard the animal's waste products. You can buy one at any neighborhood pet shop. Your choice, of course, must be dependent upon how big your particular feline companion is.

Using the litter box will take some time and practice so one should try to keep a close watch on the cat. Should it start acting like it is about to do it, one should carry the cat immediately to the litter box. Cats like other animals require time to exercise. To prevent the cat from ruining the house, one should buy toys such as a stuffed animal or a ball for the cat to play with.

Many cat owners know how hard it is to clean cat urine. The smell of cat urine is very difficult to remove even after many attempts to clean it. Cat training products are available on the market and come in different varieties and can be found at your local pet store or online. The person must identify what is needed to make the indoors pet friendly.

Just like an untrained dog, an untrained cat can be a big nuisance. Luckily, training your cat is really easy. Take a simple example, like cat scratches on your bookshelves and tables. Kitten training will take care of this problem, by instructing the cat how to use a scratching post while it's still young.
