Often we first have fluffy pets, and then suddenly we find that we are in the role of pets, and the cat or cat feels like a full-fledged owner of the apartment. To avoid problems of this kind, the kitten must be properly raised.
First of all, the pet needs a name. This is not a tribute to fashion or traditions, but a completely useful action necessary for raising an animal. The kitten should be called by name when you pet or feed him. When you punish an animal, you cannot call its nickname, because in this case the kitten will consider its name as an abusive word associated with punishment.
When your pet relieves in the wrong place or sharpens its claws on furniture, it must be punished immediately. The key word here is immediate, because cats have a short memory. Over time, the kitten will no longer be able to connect its punishment with the misdemeanor. Do not punish the animal by physical violence or throwing a slipper: compare your size and the size of the kitten.
Imagine now that a giant slipper is flying at you. It is best to spray water on the troublemaker or perform some loud action, such as dropping keys on the floor, clapping your hands loudly, etc. An acceptable punishment is clicking on the nose, although this can be somewhat painful for a kitten.
Do not indulge the kitten in all his whims just because he is cute and fluffy. Decide on what you will not allow the animal, and stand your ground to the end.
If the kitten begs when the family is sitting at the table, then you should postpone the feeding time half an hour earlier than the family dinner. Of course, feeding the animal from your table is not worth it. If the cat does not eat its food, then there is no need to rush to offer him other various foods. It is possible that he is just being naughty. Wait a day or two. If the kitten has not touched the food, then change the food.
