Cats can be trained, but only so far.

The mating phase of kittens lasts about three months. During this time, they learn everything they need for cat life, thanks to their mother’s example and their communication with their siblings. If pleasant experiences are had with people, they will then be people-oriented. If these are missing, the cat will remain shy. However, even the best socialized cat can sometimes display behavior that disturbs humans. Why does the cat show this behavior and what can you do to change it?

The cat jumps on the dining table or buffet

They like to look at the world from above: That’s why cats like to stay in places where they don’t belong.

He does this because cats often like to look down on the situation and because he knows he’ll find something to eat there or because he smells it. Maybe he’s eaten a tasty morsel or something at this point. Cat owners who do not want their cat to be on the table should never give food while the cat is on top, and should never transfer anything from its own plate to the bottom when it wants to eat from the floor. If he jumps up, immediately hold him with both hands and lay him on the ground. He will try again. And again you hold it calmly and firmly and put it back. It is also recommended to give the cat its food before sitting down to eat. If one is full, there is less need to beg.

Cat scratches upholstered furniture, carpets, door pillars, wallpaper

Cats need to sharpen their claws: if they do this in an undesirable place, you pick them up and put them on the scratching post.

Claws are the cat’s weapons. Without them, he would quickly starve to death in the wild. He needs them to catch prey and climb up in case of danger. Additionally, as cats sharpen their claws, they mark territory with their personal scent that only other cats notice. To ensure that the claws are always ready for use, they need to be kept sharp, so the cat should also be allowed to scratch around the apartment. Install a high, sturdy scratching post and also place sturdy scratching posts in the apartment. Furniture pieces that are not important to maintain can also serve the same purpose and then serve as cat scratching furniture. You can make these places attractive with a little catnip. If the cat scratches a forbidden place, you need to immediately pick it up and move it repeatedly to a permitted scratching place. Therefore, it is important not to suppress natural behavior but to redirect it.

The cat climbs curtains, tablecloths and trouser legs

Especially young kittens like to climb everywhere to develop their hunting and escape behavior.

Kittens specifically practice hunting and escape behaviors, but this very active phase does not last long. If a person is annoyed by the cat climbing the curtain or wandering around a shelf with fragile things on it, he should furnish the apartment in a cat-friendly way, react quickly and calmly and, above all, be consistent. In stubborn cases, a squirt of water from a spray bottle or water gun can clearly indicate to the cat that it is better to avoid this attractive climbing opportunity. You pick them up, move them to a permitted location, and use a toy to encourage them to climb.

The cat scratches and meows in front of the closed door

For the cat, every room is its own territory, so it scratches the door and meows pitifully when you lock the door.

If the cat wants to enter an inaccessible room, it will scratch the door because it cannot knock. Others complain pathetically and persistently because, to them, this area is also part of their territory. If the person does not want him to stay there, this should be made clear from the very beginning. You are not allowed to enter this room and even if you scratch and meow, I will not open the door for you because this is not your territory! The person who allows the cat into the bedroom once and then wants to lock it will not succeed; Only absolute consistency can lead to success. Of course, it is much easier to leave all the doors open and not exclude your little roommate from anywhere.

Cat gnaws house plants

Cats love to gnaw on houseplants, be careful, some are poisonous to cats.

There is also a natural need behind this. Carnivores probably like to nibble on grass occasionally to clean their stomachs. This should also be possible for house cats. You sprinkled some valerian. You should not keep plants in your home that are poisonous to cats, such as poinsettias or azaleas. If the cat gnaws on green plants or flowers in a vase, briefly spraying them with water will also help. Sometimes you catch a cat licking water from a flower vase or toilet bowl. Then you should stay away from vase flowers and always keep the toilet seat closed. Of course, a bowl of clean drinking water should always be available.

The cat is not clean

Cats are very clean animals, but you must provide them with their own toilet.

One consequence of eating grass is vomiting. Occasional vomiting of hairballs and other stomach contents anywhere in the house is a normal cleansing process and cannot be stopped. Solution: Just uninstall and delete it. Unless they have health problems, cats are extremely clean. People have to allow the indoor cat to meet its natural need to bury feces and urine. Placing a sufficient number of “cat chischtli” in appropriate places, providing acceptable litter and cleaning it every day will prevent the problem from occurring. Unless the cat expresses its dissatisfaction with its situation by acting dirty. Unrest, competitors, and the absence of owners can cause them to make such “emergency calls.” As with all other cases of undesirable behavior, this should not be punished, but rather observe it, try alternatives and, as always, be patient.
