Even in the clever and alert life of cats, mistakes happen. To prevent cats from always making mistakes, it is necessary for the owner to criticize them when they do wrong. However, what kind of lesson is the most profound for a cat’s mistake?

　　First, if you want the cat to accept a deep lesson, the criticism must happen at the moment the cat makes the mistake. When the pet cat does something it shouldn’t, you must immediately stop it, loudly reprimanding with words like “No” or “Hey,” so the cat can immediately halt its absurd behavior.

　　Of course, at the beginning, the cat doesn’t really understand the owner’s reproach; mainly, the cat is frightened by your loud scolding and stops what it is doing. However, if the owner stops the cat like this every time it makes a mistake, over time the cat will gradually realize that when it does something bad, it will receive such criticism and education from the owner.

　　Secondly, to let the cat get a profound lesson, the owner must be patient when criticizing. Moreover, the owner’s attitude towards the cat must be consistent. One cannot have one standard for judgment today and another standard tomorrow. When dealing with the pet cat’s behavior, a consistent attitude should be adopted: don’t hesitate to praise when appropriate, and be very clear when it is time to criticize.

　　It is worth noting that cats have very strong self-esteem. As an owner, you can discipline and educate your cat in life, but don’t easily resort to corporal punishment or insult. Because severe corporal punishment and insults can also cause the cat to develop a submissive personality and harbor resentment in its heart.
