It is categorically impossible to beat the cat, it is fraught with serious consequences. There are excellent methods of raising pets without whipping, screaming or threatening. Arms need to take ingenuity and patience.
By letting a cat into his house, a person takes responsibility for it. The animal is not obliged to him in any way and has the right to initially behave as he pleases. The task of a person: to raise a kitten so that living together would be a joy to both.
An adult animal must clearly see and understand the boundaries of what is permitted. And only its owner can teach a cat to order.
Raising a cat by force
Felines are known for their extraordinary willfulness and pride. Sometimes cats and cats show their character so zealously that it becomes unbearable. Many cat owners sometimes face serious difficulties in raising a pet.
One of the main mistakes in the formation of a cat's character is education by force.
You can only hit the animal once, and it will remember it. To beat a cat is to hurt her. The pain, in turn, causes fear, and the owner himself completely loses the trust of the animal. Even worse, existence in constant fear (in anticipation of a blow from a person) leads to disturbances in the psyche of the cat, the animal becomes inadequate. Many people notice: it is worth punishing a cat for something with a blow or a loud scream, as it begins to bully even more, completely ceasing to react to comments. Do not take it to extremes, educate the animal competently from the first days of life.
Raising a cat with strength and rudeness is not only physical pain for the animal, but also a serious blow to its pride. This way of forming the character of the cat will not lead to anything good, the relationship with the animal will simply come to naught.
Forming the character of a cat without whipping
Is it possible to raise an animal obedient without beating and screaming? Sure you may. The main thing is patience. To begin with, learn that you still have to punish the cat, but not by force, but by special methods. Otherwise, the animal can grow up impudent and spoiled, which will give you a lot of problems in the future.
Use the following method to intimidate the animal while doing any unwanted behavior. Seeing that the cat is hooligan (sharpens claws in the wrong place, jumps on the table, etc.), arm yourself with a spray bottle. At the moment the cat commits "atrocities", spray the animal with water from a spray bottle, preferably in the face. This will not hurt your pet or cause anxiety, but it will be a powerful warning as cats hate water very much. Moreover, the warning will not come from you, but from a foreign object, in this case from a spray bottle. What do you get from this method? Good relationship with the cat and good behavior.
