Folded Ear Cat

　　Most folded ear cats are very well-behaved and obedient, but some are naturally destroyers, scratching randomly, urinating improperly, or showing aggressive behavior toward people. This causes owners a lot of headaches. Actually, dogs are not the only pets that can be trained by their owners. If you use the right methods, training a folded ear cat is not that difficult. Let’s look at the following article, hoping it will help with folded ear cat training.

　　1. What to Do About Aggressive Behavior in Folded Ear Cats

　　1. If it is a lonely old cat, consider adding a kitten companion. Because old and young cats tend to accept each other more easily. However, be sure the kitten is brought home by someone the old cat does not know. This person's presence helps prevent the old cat from associating you with the kitten and becoming jealous.

　　2. If the old cat shows hostility to the kitten, try calling the kitten "the old cat's kitten," as this can create a positive association between them. Furthermore, when talking to the kitten, also talk to the old cat simultaneously to engage it and encourage normal contact with the kitten, thereby fostering their relationship.

　　3. If the cat is particularly nervous around a certain person, try calling that person "the cat's person," such as "This is Lily's cat; Lily is the cat's person." This links them together and helps dissolve the cat’s nervousness and anxiety toward that person, but repeated practice is needed.

　　4. Cats are very influenced by their owner's emotions. As the owner, you should engage in stress-reducing exercises and activities so both you and the cat can relax.

　　5. Some owners go to the vet to use sedatives to control their cats' emotions. However, using only sedatives is a temporary solution; effective results require rebuilding the cat’s behavior combined with sedatives. This can help reduce triggers that cause aggressive behavior.

　　6. Music also has a relaxing effect on cats and can reduce aggressive behavior. So, you can play your music accompanied by soft background music to soothe your cat.

　　7. When a cat feels nervous, it naturally uses its claws to attack its enemies. Therefore, you should regularly trim your cat's nails. When trimming, it’s best to have another person hold the cat to distract its attention.

　　In summary, the aggressive behavior of folded ear cats is mostly triggered by emotional stimuli, so owners should avoid anything that might disturb their cat's emotions. Do not punish your cat for aggressive behavior as punishment may increase stress and make the behavior worse. Note that cat aggression can sometimes be a serious problem. If you feel things are getting out of control, please contact a veterinarian immediately and ask for help consulting a feline behavior expert.
