Is it really very difficult to train cats
Norwegian Forest Cat
Many people think cats are very difficult to train animals; they are independent, self-willed, and unruly, seemingly uncontrollable by anyone. Additionally, in people’s impressions, cats hold grudges—if you hit them once, they can remember it for a lifetime—so many owners prefer to endure silently rather than punish their cats. In fact, this is no benefit for either cats or owners. First, as companion pets, cats are not just independent individuals; they are part of the family. Their behavior not only changes the family environment but can also affect the lives of neighbors. If owners blindly indulge cats to behave incorrectly, it may ultimately disrupt the normal lives of themselves and others. Second, spoiled cats generally have bad tempers, and long-term pampering care will make them harder to satisfy, making training naturally not easy. So, are there any good methods for owners to easily train their cats?
In fact, training any cat is not going to be very easy because it cannot be accomplished overnight. Besides, animals have their own thoughts. When they are tired, they want to rest; when they are in a bad mood, they want comfort. Therefore, owners must be psychologically prepared before raising cats, otherwise it will be easy to end up giving cats away to others or even abandoning them directly.
1. Choose a cat that suits you
Different cats have very different personalities. Choosing a cat that suits you can not only maximize the cat’s quality of life but also elevate your own living standards. For example, Siamese cats are outgoing, lively, and active, while Persian cats prefer quietness, rarely move, and often silently watch their owners. So, if you like a quiet life, then do not choose a cat like the Siamese. If you want a little creature at home to liven up a dull atmosphere, then Persian cats definitely cannot be the first choice. Even stray cats have different personalities. Before adoption, you can interact with the cat first. After understanding their temperament and personality, then decide whether to adopt.
