American Curl Cat

　　Raising cats requires attention to the cultivation of correct habits and customs. For example, owners who love cats often let their cats sleep with them. If the cat is ill, such as with toxoplasmosis or fungal infections, it can be transmitted to humans. Even though cats are pets, it is necessary to carry out some basic training to help the cat quickly integrate into the family.

　　1. Life Exercises for Kittens

　　Raising cats requires attention to cultivating proper habits and customs. For instance, owners who love cats often let their cats sleep with them. If the cat is ill, such as with toxoplasmosis or fungal infections, it can transmit the disease to humans. Additionally, cats are timid and like to climb high places as they feel safe there. Craft display cabinets and dining tables at home are places where cats should not visit. Valuable items once broken and meals first tasted by cats are not what cat owners want. However, climbing is a normal habit of cats. Training and disciplining can prevent cats from going to places they should not.

　　Therefore, even if cats are pets, providing some basic training so that cats quickly blend into the family instead of becoming a family burden is very necessary. This includes training such as "come," standing, lying down and rolling over, jumping and crawling through rings, carrying objects, claw sharpening, and crawling through cat holes.

　　2. Rules for Eating and Playing

　　Many owners boast: "My cat is very smart; it stands straight to receive food." They also say that when eating with people, the cat obediently sits on a chair. This is not a good sign. Soon the owner will start to worry because the kitten will constantly come asking for food, refuse its own cat food, become fussier, and ignore the guests. The cat behaves like an untrained wild cat, jumping on the dining table to find its favorite food, quickly making a mess of cups and plates, which is very embarrassing for the owner.

　　Therefore, cats should be taught eating rules from a young age: fixed times, fixed places, and fixed amounts. Never give them human food. Cats must eat specially designed food formulated for their nutrition and growth. Kittens from 3 weeks old until 5 months old are almost always playing while awake. This is their cutest and most interesting time. Whether playing with them or just watching is good. After 5 months, their playfulness decreases but they still like to play. Children's toys, such as Lego-type building toys, may not be suitable; some are too small, some have sharp edges, and some can be bitten into fragments that may cause trouble if swallowed.

　　3. Toilet Training

　　Cat urine and feces have unpleasant odors, and wild cats often cover them with soil. Some owners choose sand or cat litter; cat litter is better than sand for cleanliness and parasite prevention. Cats like cleanliness. If properly trained from a young age, they will develop the habit of using a fixed place for toilet needs.(Source：PetsZone)
