Teach Your Cat


Teaching your cat needs basic training of your cat first. After giving your cat basic training, you have to notice and discover the other signs in your cat. Knowing cats’ behavior and focus on your cat’s environment will make your cat teaching so easier. Cats are very sensitive to things like environment, sound and smell, touch, and reading human senses.

Teaching your cat is possible but the best way to understand and teach your cat is to read their behavior and instinct. If you miss the signs while teaching your cat and end up making your cat run away then do not try again at the same moment. Whilst you teaching your cat, remember one thing, never fight or follow back and punish your cat because this thing will badly effect on your relationship with your cat for a very long time.

•TEACH YOUR CAT BY FOOD (BASIC STEP):

First, start your cat teaching by his food time and put the food on that place or room where you think your cat feels comfortable. Then softly say your cat’s name and say him to come and go little back from your cat’s food. When your cat start having food do not watch at him and make yourself busy in some other thing because if you will watch your cat having food then this thing will make your cat uncomfortable and this is not a good way to teach your cat.

When your cat will finish the food then he will must look at you, right at that time, blink your both eyes together while watching in your cat’s eyes with smile and love then come near to your cat calmly and then pick your cat up in your arms gently but make sure that your cat body is supported by your hands under his chest and legs. You should also know about the sensitive areas about your cat body. If you feel like your cat is highly sensitive and reactive then do not rub on your cat chin, behind ears, on legs and touch your cat’s tail. If you do this then of course it won’t be a good teaching cat session.

Be patient while doing your cat teaching process because your patience will give you great rewards in the end and this was the best first start of teaching your cat. Your cat will gradually start understanding you and start understanding his name too. On his meal time, your cat will always come around you, rub himself with you, look in to your eyes, jump in your lap or say MEOWS and you will feel wonderful at that time.

CAT BASIC TRAINING (PART 2):


Cat training is the key that makes the cat owners avoid mistakes with their cat. In my previous post I talked about how to make an initial, good and basic relationship with your cat. The first thing which we need to understand is that, cats learn from experience and if your cat likes your way of training then he will try it by himself, again and again. So in this manner the first part of Cat Training, which I already posted, will help you a lot and make you move toward second stair which I am going to tell you in this post.

Training of a cat requires one basic principle, “Allow your cat to show his natural behavior while training”, not to force your cat to do something. When you will start training your cat, love, care, guidance and patience will give you a great reward in the end. There are ways of training you need to focus on by using your creative way, despite giving instructions to your cat.

Stop Punishing and Start Changing:

“Stop punishing your cat and let your cat do what he doing” and that is the first rule which applies after the basic relationship of your cat in cat training process. Instead of giving your cat punishment, try to change the environment of your cat, which will help your cat change his mind state and focus on some other thing.

Example: For suppose your cat is making noise and at the right time you not in mood for listen the meows and see fuss around you. Take your cat outside of home or in some garden so that he can play around, see other people, jump on the trees etc. that thing will change your cats mind of state.

I agree some people here will disagree with me about doing all that and it can make their cat more aggressive in bad manner because whenever their cat want to go out then he will make fuss around them and that can be disturbing. But the point here is that, In cat training, this thing will make your relationship with your cat healthier and make your cat understand the outside world of your home and while playing outside this thing can make your cat train in many suitable manners.

This is the wining situation for training your cat because when your cat is out then many things he is learning automatically which the basic problems are for you, like start groping new things, learn how to play with ball, how to walk beside you and chase you with enthusiasm, how to climb on a tree, learn the etiquettes of staying with other people and most important freedom which cats love.

This is the most successful training cat method. In this one way you train your cat automatically about several things and which your cat learns with love and fun. Sitting with your cat for 20 to 30 minutes in a park for your cat training purpose can release the stress and boost your happy relationship with your cat.

Cat Training (Basic Training) Part 1.


Cat training contains some rules to be followed in specific ways. If you see, your cats is fussing in your house then follow the rules to train your cat instead of punishing your cat because it will produce negative response if you punish your cat. Teach your cat some useful and precious skills that can help you understanding your cat and make it so easy to have great boundless friendship with your cat. Believe me, there are several ways in which a cat can be trained so well, even more your cat will love you for it for this kind of special cat training.

I had an adopted cat with a very aggressive nature and lack of behaviors. At last I decided to stop my cat from scratching the furniture and other problems then train my cat to perform almost every command. I wished to impress my friends by teaching my cat extra impressive and wonderful tricks, and I did it. The secrets which I am going to tell you will really help you train your cat and helped me a lot for my cat training.

This Cat training first step is so essential and basic.

• Increase the amount of your time and show love and care for your cat.

Cat-human relationship is almost like human relationships in which we need time and care from our loved ones. After watching the behavior of their cat, many people increase the tension between them and their cats rather then teaching their cats with patience and love. Your cat needs your time but not like you spend all of your time with him and take away their independency. You also need to get busy in your work but just whenever you come back from you work then do spend some time with your cat and make the moments happy while showing your cat your love and care so that both of you create a special love bounding.

Do not try or pretend to show some extra care for your cat. If you pick up your cat and your cat runs away then let your cat go, do not try to run behind your cat, Cats love their independency.

For creating love with your cat, the rule is simple. If you will show extra care and love for your cat then your cat will see you as an owner who is taking his independency. If you will show your care and love for your cat in a limit then your cat will come at you and rub him with you in love and will try to grab your attention.

Training a cat is not such an easy and simple task, it just needs patience and your care but always remember, Never behave with your cat as a rude person because you are teaching and training your cat rather than to become like your cat. Only do this first step and you will notice the things begin to change and those will be the very good signs of successful beginning for training cat.

As cats are very expressive & understandable animal that’s why their relation with humans is just like their own kid because most of their acts are similar with small baby. Though their expressions they express their feelings towards human i.e. when a cat blinks to a human, it is
looking for communication, friendship and love, although it is used also as a reflex and for humidify the eyes. A cat doesn’t blinks to everybody. Through their acts they express their feelings; same like that they know the feelings of their owner. when you are sad they came to you purring, rubbing you, making direct eye contact, and making these very soft mewling sounds in the backs of their throats and try to cheer up you. Cats get excited like kids whenever you came back at home they come flying out from wherever they are, thinking they are to be fed, lose their footing on the slick floor, and go sliding and crashing into your ankles as you are stand there.

A domestic cat’s sense of smell is about fourteen times as strong as a human’s. Cat tail is a highly specialized because it helps to balance their body. Claws of cats providing an iron grip for climbing, a cat’s claws can be lethal.
Sense’s of cats
Cats have highly advanced senses like hearing, eyesight, taste, and touch receptors, making the cat extremely sensitive among all mammals.
• A cat’s sense of touch contributes mightily to its split-second reaction time.
• Special night-vision adaptations allow them to see extremely well in even the dimmest light.
• A cat’s vision is sharpest between 2 and 3 feet from its face, and its focus is on the center of what the cat observes rather than on the entire landscape.
• Cat vision is adapted to capture even the slightest movement. This makes the cat
one of the most successful hunters on land.
• Cat’s also having a mirror like membrane on the back of their eyes called a Tapetum. This helps them to see extremely well in near darkness.
• Cats have twice as many smell-sensitive cells in their noses as people do, which means they can smell things humans are not even aware of.
• Cat’s most likely sees in 3-D, very useful for judging distance.
• The most sensitive places on the cat’s body, where the nerve cells are concentrated, are the face and the front paws. This is because these are the most important body parts the cat uses while hunting.
• A feline constantly monitors the aromas around it to assess the risks and opportunities presented by its environment.
• Cat’s have a third eyelid, the nictitating membrane, which is a thin cover that closes from the side and appears when the cat’s eyelid opens.
• Cat’s whiskers are the most sensitive of all. The special hairs, called vibrissae, are set deep within the skin and provide the cat with sensory information about the slightest air movement around it.
• Cat does can see some colors, and can tell the difference between red, blue and yellow lights, as well as between red and green lights. Cats are able to distinguish between blues and violets better than between colors near the red end of the spectrum.

• The displeasure at some situation can be shown by moving the ears back and rapidly swishing the tail.
• The constant shaking of a paws or the more times the paw is shaken, the stronger the cat’s feeling; this can sometimes be a four paw affair with each paw being lifted and shaken in turn. This behavior is possibly related to the identical action displayed after stepping into water.
• The swishing or sweeping of the tail in a wide swath, in mid-air or against a person or while leaving the room is a sign of aggression.
• The act of relaxation is shown as when a cat starts sprawling on the side or back and, possibly, rolling. Sometimes they roll over onto their back and shake their paws in the air.
• Affection: a pressing of the face or top of the head against a person’s body (head rubbing), leaving a scent to mark the cat’s territory; or rubbing in quick succession. Cats may also blink slowly as an expression of affection or security. Many cats also use a question mark-shaped tail to show desire to greet someone they are fond of.

• Ears up and moved slightly forward shows real interest in what is going on, while ears moved backward shows distaste and desire to not engage with the situation. Cats show disapproval by moving their ears back, an equivalent of a human frown.
Vocal calls of cats
• Purring is often a sign of contentment. Some cats purr when they are in extreme pain, or in labor, simply to try to calm themselves down. Purring therefore can be a sign of pleasure or pain; usually it is the former.

• Mewing is a plea for help or attention often made by kittens. There are two basic types of this call, one more loud and the other more high-pitched.
• Often simple meows and mews in both older cats and young kittens. A commanding meow is a command for attention, food, or to be let out.
• Cats will often “chatter” or “chirrup” on seeing something of interest out of the window. This is sometimes attributed to mimicking birdsong to attract prey or draw others attention to it, but often birds are not present.
