How to Discipline Cats - Learn the Insider Secrets

Without knowing the secrets of how to discipline cats a person a person can act only on instinct alone. Nine times out of ten he or she does something that doesn't work and the cat gets scared and hides  After you call the cat multiple times to see if their alright they don't doesn't come out because now they're fearful of what you might do.  Now you feel terrible

Your First Reaction is Most Important 

Say you're just getting home after a long day. All you want to do is sit down in a comfortable chair, relax and unwind. But when you open the door you see the house is a mess. A plant is knocked over, dirt is everywhere, your favorite pair of jeans have had holes clawed into them and there's a torn up roll of toilet paper strewn all over the bathroom and hallway. Your cat was the only one in the house all day.

Yelling Never Works When Disciplining Cats 

From experience I can tell you that yelling at a cat is a never the answer. Cats hate loud noises and they're almost always going to run and hide out of fear. One of my cats freaks out whenever there is a thunderstorm! When trying to think of how to discipline cats and what works and what doesn't you always have to understand in advance how a cat is going to react to your disciplinary methods.

Examples of Discipline That Never Work 

Some things that never work are:

1.) Yelling at the cat or making any loud noises.
2.) Raising a hand to them in an aggressive way.
3.) Any physical contact that is meant to scare them no matter how "lightly" you hit them.
4.) Spraying a cat with a water pistol. This one is debatable but I've seen cats that just get use to it or just fear you.

This will assure you that the cat will just end up avoiding you.

Be Patient and See the Big Picture 

Figuring out what works when thinking about how to discipline cats will be by trial and error. There is no universal method of discipline but there is always something that will work for you and your cat. Our pets make us very happy so it should be our job to keep them just as happy as they make us

No More Bad Cats 

no-bad-cats

On average a cat owner spends over $500 a year on Veterinary Bills and costs are going up? Did you know most of these visits are for preventable ailments? Keeping your cat happy and stress free is one way to keep them out of the vet office. Your cat deserves the best and should be kept healthy and happy. The best resource I have found on keeping your cat happy and diagnosing cat behavior problems is called No More Bad Cats. The vet should be reserved emergencies or when your cat is truly sick and needs care. Saying cats cannot be trained is a myth. Sure they're not going to roll over, fetch or play dead but they do learn by example. Cats can be trained by classical conditioning which isn't much different than dogs. Both learn to associate different behaviors with different outcomes. For more information click on the link above.
