Basic Behavior Training for British Shorthair Cats
To help pet cats better get along with family members, it is necessary to conduct basic behavior training during the process of raising pet cats. The following is a brief introduction to basic behavior training for British Shorthair cats for your reference.
Train the British Shorthair cat to clearly understand its own name. After choosing a cute name for the British Shorthair cat, you can call its name when the cat is excited or active in daily life, so it can clearly distinguish the pronunciation characteristics of its name and thus understand its own name. Especially when the British Shorthair cat is playing, before feeding, or when petting it, these are very good training opportunities.
Owners should also start training from kittenhood, helping the cat master good living behaviors, such as using a fixed place for toileting, eating, and drinking water. Each time you train the British Shorthair cat, you should control the difficulty of the training content and the degree of rewards and punishments. Whenever the British Shorthair completes a simple training action, the owner can give appropriate verbal praise, petting, or food rewards. Then proceed to the next training session repeatedly.
When raising British Shorthair cats, we will find they also have their special instincts. For example: urinating beside favorite potted plants, leaving scratch marks on furniture, etc. When training the British Shorthair cat to correct these bad habits, the owner should also master appropriate punishment training methods, letting the cat understand that some of its behaviors are wrong and will make you unhappy or angry. Then, in daily life, gradually guide and change these bad habits of the cat, training it to master some basic and good behavioral habits.
