Train your cat for basic commands.
You want to train your cat to come, sit and stay. You can also teach your cat not to scratch things. When you are teaching your cat not to scratch, it sometimes appears that it is kicking you and begins to scratch you. With this determined behavior, you can gently stroke its paw to help retract its claws. When their claws have retracted, you can call them good kitty in a reassuring voice. They don't realize that this is a bad thing they are doing and they are not trying to hurt you. Reassurance and praise shouldn't be followed by food. This will show them that this is something that will be expected of them at all times, and is not a gimmick. You're going to have to continually work with them on this for a few weeks. They will not scratch the first time you do this. If you tell your cat that he is a good kitten and pay attention to him, it is a good thing you can do.
To ensure good behavior, you must ensure that you handle your cat with care. Don't tease your cat - this can show him that it's okay to scratch, bite, and be mean. Cats can be quite fussy; being rude to them, they may associate this with aggressive behaviors. Like hand biting or scratching. If you choose to play with your cat, you should use one of her toys to show that it is okay to bite and scratch her own toys. While playing with your cat, if she scratches you, it is not her fault. Accidents happen, don't discipline them for this action. They think you are trying to play, you will get nowhere other than confusing your cat.
Here are some tricks that you cannot teach your cat. If you want your cat to "stay", you should start by taking him to a secluded room, without distractions and preferably before dinner time. Before doing this, you need to get some healthy snacks to reward them. The reason you should do this before dinner time is so that they have a little more head start to do whatever you want so they can get their prize. The next thing to do is place them on a surface that will bring them closer to you and your cat. When your cat starts to walk away, say her name in a stern voice and tell her to stay. Raise your hand as if to say stop. After your cat does this, you should reinforce it by giving it a treat bite. Once the cat is done, you should allow it to be distracted again and then tell it to stay. You should do this for 4 to 5 minutes per day, with 2 or 3 training sessions.
The next trick you can try is "come". This should be easy; you have already taught your cat to stay. Now she knows that when you are teaching her something, there will be delicious rewards. You can start trying this when your cat is in another room, calling her by name, and telling her to come over. Make sure you try to say it in a fun, playful voice. That is a great key, as well as when they come to you. You should always have a gift or something for them. You asked them to do something, to give back a little. Make this a fun game for you and your cat.
Some important things to remember that young cats are the easiest to train. Do not do your training sessions more than 5 minutes per session. This can cause the cat to become irritable and uncooperative. Make sure to reward your pet, if they ask you, you can ask. It's another thing to make sure you always end your training sessions on a positive note. Hugs and treats are the best way to show your cat that you care.
