Kittens are certainly one of the most fun pets and offer a lot of entertainment when playing, playing, playing pranks, or getting into a totally ridiculous situation. It’s a prank that involves many owners, and they feel they have to control it in some way.
Animal professionals, including veterinarians, are often struck by questions from pet owners about “training” new kittens. Some of the most disturbing comments include references to spanking poor things!
Perhaps humans are raised with discipline that is generally transformed into a system of reward and punishment, so they believe it applies to animals as well as children.
Rewards and punishments quickly become unacceptable in a good training environment, but people are beginning to realize that they are less effective in animals. For it to be quite useful, the subject must have the ability to learn to make decisions about their behavior. This requires the ability to use logic and spend time thinking about things. Animals do not do this. They are living “now” at that moment. Yes, they may remember that certain actions have certain consequences, and they can learn from it. But if we should be smarter than animals, it’s up to us to think things with logic.
Never use physical forces, including spanking, on a kitten. It is not necessary and can be injured and sometimes even fatal. In fact, you don’t have to hit your pet. Instead, try using the reward system and the non-reward system.
The following common naughty kitten behaviors can be handled gently, lovingly and easily by caring patient owners.
1. Do not use the toilet. Under normal circumstances this should not be a problem. Kittens are taught how to use sand by their mother. If the kitten isn’t used to sand or the kitten’s litter box, it’s usually because the little guy was immediately taken away from his mother. Kittens should be with their mother for at least 3 months to 12 weeks, which is not the usual way. People want the joy of teaching their own kittens as early as possible. Some people are shocked by the bottle, but this is only logical if the kitten is isolated and no suitable agent can be found.
If you have an orphan kitten, you need to be a substitute mother and train to use the toilet. It’s not difficult. Immediately after eating or drinking, put the kitten in a box, gently stroke the back edge, and gently talk to encourage it. If you have other cats, use the box to allow the kitten to see the old cat. Cats learn by observing and imitating.
Perhaps the most important thing cat and kitten owners can do to ensure that their pets continue to use the litter box is to keep it clean at all times.
2. Damage the furniture. Kittens should definitely be scratched. They can’t help not doing it. It is up to you to provide the right environment for stretching your toes and exercising your forefoot and forefoot. If they are blamed at this point, they can affect the normal development of the leg and leg muscles. However, removing the claws of adult cats has even more serious consequences, and some cats cannot overcome them. Have a scratch post or pad and encourage them to use it by being calm and happy each time. Don’t worry about catnip yet. Kittens, if any, are not sensitive to it until they are much older. Some cats don’t seem to notice the catnip. If you find a kitten scratching something you shouldn’t do, pick it up and take it to the mailbox. Do not yell, hit or get angry. This only tells him that you can be unpredictable and scary. They rarely associate their actions with your reaction.
3. Get into things. Every young man needs to love and explore. It’s a way they learn what’s in their world and how to navigate it. If they are not allowed to learn things this way, even their social and survival skills will be stunted. But as their guardians, it is our responsibility to ensure that they are safe while learning and having a good time. Together with the kittens, we need to provide lots of toys, hiding places, mountaineering opportunities, and above all, time for them to learn to trust and interact with you. Remember to be kind and considerate. Never play wildly with kittens. Otherwise, you are responsible for creating a little biting monster. It’s cute and painless to put up with your nails and teeth at 6 weeks of age, but I don’t want to wonder what happened to the gentle fluffy balls when I was bleeding at 2 years old.
Then, when they were old enough to jump to the countertop, it was time to pinch it in the bud. Otherwise, you may never be able to stop. The most effective tactics seem to be related to loud sounds. Do not hit the kitten from the counter. It can seriously injure him. You can continuously lift him back to the floor, but most cats don’t seem to get it. Instead, make a loud noise. Hit the counter with a flat object … paddle, maybe … or use a can of compressed air that blows a very large horn. Sometimes an air blast alone will work.
If the kitten’s environment is interesting and safe enough, the kitten is less likely to get into something unrelated to him. Owners can help by “protecting the home from infants” and protecting property that they want to keep intact.
