How to Teach Your Cat to Be Alone When the Owner Is Not at Home
Norwegian Forest Cat
Many owners think that cats do not need to be walked outside and are not very clingy, making them suitable for working people. But all cat lovers certainly know that cats are actually very clingy little creatures with a strong possessive desire. So what should owners do? The answer is definitely not to give up on them decisively! Teaching cats to be alone at home is the right approach. There are many little tips to help cats learn to be alone, but I still want to remind all owners to interact with their cats when free, otherwise cats who stay at home all the time will gradually become distant from you!
1. Preparation before leaving
Before leaving, you should kindly tell your cat where you are going, ask it to wait properly at home, tell it you will take it out to play when you return, and that there will be delicious treats as rewards.
2. Give snack rewards
If possible, leave some tasty small snacks for it or apply the cat’s favorite food on toys or chew treats. Cats, who are good at understanding humans, will gain a lot of comfort from this communication.
