Siamese cat

　　First, the primary method is immediate on-the-spot criticism. When it does something it shouldn't, you should immediately say "No," or "Hey," loudly reprimanding it. Of course, the does not stop the action because it understands the owner’s words, but because it is startled by the loud noise and stops. If this is done repeatedly, the cat will gradually feel that doing this will lead to loud reprimands and become too troublesome, so it will stop doing it.

　　Taking the cat back to the scene of the crime to lecture after it has done something wrong is completely useless. Cats are forgetful animals; even if they are reprimanded for what just happened, they will not understand why they are being scolded.

　　It is also very important to give ample praise when the cat behaves well.

　　The second method is patient education. It does not mean you criticize today and allow it tomorrow, but you should always criticize patiently with the same attitude. If you give up halfway, all previous efforts will be wasted. Consequently, the cat will become conceited and unruly.

　　The third method is to absolutely never use corporal punishment. If you hit the cat casually, it will develop fear of the owner and become submissive. Because a cat’s body is much smaller than a human’s, it is very likely to get injured if struck.

　　The fourth method is to praise it greatly when it behaves well. Although cats do not understand the owner’s words, they clearly distinguish between reprimanding and praising tones. When praised, the cat’s mood improves, and the effect of training gradually increases.

　　Of course, in such cases, immediate praise, rather than delayed, is very important.
