　　Cats are curious about everything. If you keep not only cats but also ornamental fish, reptiles, birds, and other small pets at home, you will find cats are especially interested in these small pets. They might reach out with their paws to catch fish or exhibit behaviors that scare birds. These behaviors often cause headaches for owners. So, when keeping cats alongside small pets, how should owners make them live in peace?

　　There are several main methods to train cats and other small pets to get along harmoniously.

　　1. Scolding

　　When a cat approaches other small pets and unconsciously reaches out with its paws to touch them or bites plants, the owner should immediately scold and stop it. Hearing the owner's loud scolding, cats usually stop approaching; even if they are still reluctant, they won't extend their paws to grab, just stare from a distance.

　　2. Punishment

　　Many bold and naughty cats do not respond to scolding from owners. Even if the owner's voice is loud, the cats continue their ways. In this case, owners need to implement some punishment measures, like spraying with a water gun or gently tapping the cat's head. This creates a sense of fear and restraint in the cat, training it to quietly get along with other small pets.

　　Pet cats naturally like small fish, birds, and other small pet animals. Even if they have no intention of stealing or eating, seeing lively and beautiful small pets makes them unable to resist reaching out with their sharpening paws. Therefore, when training cats and small pets to coexist harmoniously, it is also necessary to prevent cats from attacking small animals and plants.(Source：PetsZone)
