A significant consideration while “cat training” or “kitten training”, primarily during their house training, is being aware that berating your pet simply isn’t always effective. At first, pet owners may experience frustration while attempting to teach their cat how to use a litter box because they can’t catch the feline in the misconduct so they can reprove them.
Ordinarily, a person will attempt to convey the proof to the cat and exert authority over their pet when it occurs, perhaps even luring the cat to return to the box and making him paw through the litter. This is a facet of “cat training” that teaches your pet that his owner is his tormentor and the litter box is his punishment.
It’s hard to catch cats in the act of being bad. They don’t like to be trapped, and of course they hate to be disciplined. Punishments should deter bad behavior, not simply convince your cat to only be bad when your not home.
If you attempt to scold your feline friend at a later time, he almost certainly won’t associate that with his undesirable behavior and will continue doing the very same thing over and over. Sometimes tabby misbehaves simply to get your attention and if he’s successful at that, it reinforces his conduct and keeps him playing his old tricks.
So you’re getting a new kitten! If you’ve bought a kitten from a reputable breeder, the kitten should have had specific cat training in regard to using a litter box by watching its mother. Of any cat problems that could arise, this is one that should have been taken care of before you bring it home.
Consult with the breeder before bringing your kitten home, regarding the litter box. Introducing the kitten to a new brand, my make them shy away from using it. If there are changes to be made, make them gradually, so the kitten can accept it.
