It is necessary
- - water gun;
- - sneaker;
- - toys.
Instructions
Step 1
Observe your cat when she meows especially persistently. If everything is in order with the pet's health, it means that he is crying for something from you. Are you trainable? After listening to a cat concert for a few minutes, you rush to the refrigerator and give a sausage to a starving beast? Obediently crawl out of a warm bed and open the door for the fuzzy? Do you take the animal in your arms and scratch its belly? In such cases, the cat knows that she will get what she wants if she meows a little.
Step 2
Don't fall for the dictator. Don't react to meows the way your cat wants you to. Behave as if nothing had happened. Play music on your headphones and ignore the screams of the cat. If you give up after 10-15 minutes, it will only get worse, the animal will meow much longer. Once deciding not to give in, do not throw your words into the wind.
Step 3
Distract your cat from vocal practice. It is necessary to knock her out of thought with an unexpected noise or the flight of a sneaker. Do not try to hit the beast - meowing is not a terrible crime, although sometimes the punishing slipper works effectively.
Step 4
If the cat is silent for a long time after a distraction, call her to you and praise. You must assure the animal that everything is in order. Pay attention to your pet when he is quiet, give him a tasty treat, talk to him and pet him. The cat must learn that quiet behavior works much better than loud behavior.
Step 5
You won't achieve much if you stop noticing your silent pet. Eventually, he will start yelling again to get your attention.
Step 6
Play with your cat every day so that it releases its energy and has enough interaction with you. Have a few favorite toys that you only get to when you have time to play.
Step 7
Cats usually don't like being wet, so a trickle from a water gun will quickly stop your pet from screaming. Don't expect your pet to quickly unlearn meow. Be careful not to miss a moment of reverse training. If you noticed a sly cat face peeking out from behind a chair, and then heard meowing, think about whether your upbringing has turned into a game for the beast that he enjoys?
