Expert Guide to Raising Healthy, Well-Behaved Cats

How to raise cats?

How you would love a pet and I would like to please it to have rules and always follow them. No exceptions. Either allowed or not. Otherwise, cats will not understand why one day one can do something and another cannot. This is a very important point and most often new cat owners make a mistake in it by allowing the pet to manipulate. And cats find a way to do it very easy. They affect the hosts with love and rubbing. Sometimes with moans, and sometimes with a sad look sitting in front of you.

In any case, if the cat succeeds, it will manipulate you over and over again using proven techniques. Once the host understands the full scale of the cat plan, it will be too late. If the cat could not go to a room or climb on the table and you, if you let it once, it will take a week of strict measures.

How to behave when raising a cat?

The most effective means of rearing against unwanted behavior are a water spray and adhesive tape or foil. NEVER beat a cat. The master and his hands must be the embodiment of tenderness for the cat. The Hand of the host cannot be associated with the negative emotions.

To get rid of places where a cat sharpens it nails, climbs at the risk of itself and objects, it is necessary to make those places unattractive to the cat, more difficult to reach. If your cat is tearing furniture, offer her a specialized scraper that is more comfortable than a sofa. Cover the edge of the sofa with double-sided adhesive tape to make the cat feel uncomfortable when it touches the surface. When using the sprayer, this should be done unnoticed by the cat. Seeing that your favorite flowerpot or curtain is attacked – take the sprayer. When go further, hide it from the cat’s sight, and at the moment when starts its work, spray with water, strictly say NOT. If you do everything right, after many attempts, the cat will decide that the flowerpot or curtain is an unpleasant thing and not worthy attention. Cat will decide there are more attractive things around that the owner has to offer for the cat.

What if a cat urine on the couch?

If your cat gets wet out of place, make sure her toilet is accessible and clean. You can place another box at home. Number of boxes = Number of cats + one extra. The area where the cat made urine should be treated with special enzyme measures. Cat urine is very difficult to destroy and even if you don’t feel it – the cat feels it. It means that there is a toilet here. Without specialized tools wipe dry the area where it was wet, spray diluted vinegar 1: 2 with water and allow to dry. Then rinse with a weak solution of potassium permanganate or iodine with the addition of dish-washing detergent, which will trap air, thus prolonging the reaction. Alcohol, simple cleaners just hide the odor from you, but don’t destroy it.
