Cats are the kind of pets that are extremely autonomous. Cats like to do things in their own good time, so we need to be really inspired to teach them, keep aside some time for your cat to train them. Here are some tips that can help you train your furry pet-
Tips to train your cat
1. Placing the cat after meals in the litter box can be one of the best tips to train your cat to litter inside the box, and not outside. Take the cat close to the litter box, shortly after it finishes its meal. Make sure your cat understands the purpose of the litter box. If proper training is provided to the cats, then cats will go straight to the box to complete their business, without even being told to do so.
2. Each time they obey you, it is necessary to praise the cat. Give them a little snack and play with them. Get enthusiastic with the cat so that it thinks it has done a good job. This will help in developing obedience.
3. Cats do what they want. They would not always be at home and owners cannot stop them by going outside the house for a walk, but they can train them to show how to get in or out of the house. Teach them to ring a bell. The owner can place a small but loud bell at the eye level of your cat on a string. Keep continuing this, and the cat will soon learn to ring the bell deliberately.
4. Do not always make the cat do what you want the cat to do. Do not threaten the cat or pressure the cat to do anything. Be fun and expose them once in a while to something they enjoy. This will make them love you even more. This will also help them respect you and listen to your commands.
