In the smart and alert life of cats, there are times when they make mistakes. To prevent cats from repeatedly making mistakes, owners need to criticize them when they err. But what kind of lesson leaves the deepest impression on cats when they make mistakes?

　　First, if you want the cat to accept a deep lesson, the criticism must be given at the moment the cat makes the mistake. When the pet cat does something it shouldn’t, immediately stop it with loud scolding like "No" or "Hey" so the cat can immediately stop the absurd behavior.

　　Of course, at the beginning, the cat doesn’t really understand the owner's reprimand; mainly, the cat is startled by your loud scolding and stops what it is doing. If the owner consistently stops the cat this way 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.

　　Second, to make the cat learn a profound lesson, the owner must be patient when criticizing. Moreover, the owner must maintain a consistent attitude toward the cat. You cannot have one standard today and another tomorrow. Facing the pet cat’s behavior, you should have a consistent approach: be generous with praise when it’s deserved and clear with criticism when necessary.

　　It’s worth noting that cats are animals with very strong self-esteem. As an owner, you can teach and educate your cat, but do not easily resort to physical punishment or insult it. Severe physical punishment and insults can make the cat develop a submissive personality and hold grudges in its heart.
