It is important that cats remain independent. They do not like being told "no". You may be angry if they tell you "no". This is why you should never hit your cat when he/she does something wrong. Your cat needs love and affection, but it does not mean you can treat him/her like a human being.
If your cat is having trouble, you can try to help them. Try to talk to him/her calmly and gently. Do not yell at him/her. Remember that yelling makes him/her feel bad. Your cat cannot be forced to eat. Sometimes, he/she will refuse to eat. You should offer treats to your child when this happens. You should not give them too many treats as it could lead to overeating.
Your cat should be kept clean at all times. You should wash your cat every day. Use a wet cloth to wipe off dirt and dust. Check to make sure your cat is free of fleas. Flea bites can lead to skin irritation and allergic reactions. Flea bites can be painful and should be treated with a shampoo.
Cats are social animals. Cats enjoy being with other people. This is why it's important to spend time with your cat. Play with your cat, play with him/her and give him/her a bath. These activities will make your cat happy.
You should begin training your cat as soon as possible. Begin training your kitten at two weeks of age. It is best to start training your cat at three months of age. By this age your cat is fully grown and ready for new adventures.
When you show your cat tricks you must explain every step. To teach your cat how to sit down, first show the chair. Then you will reward your cat with a treat and say "sit". Repeat these steps until your cat understands what you mean.
Remember that cats are intelligent. Cats are smart and can figure out how to do tasks. They still need patience and persistence. Your cat won't be able to do a task instantly. Give your cat lots of time to practice before giving in.
