Ragdoll Cat

　　Kittens are more mischievous during their early stages. Sometimes, while playing with their owners, they might accidentally hurt them. Many owners ignore this and continue playing, not realizing that such indulgence may lead to cats biting and scratching people later. Kittens are naive and unaware during their youth, which requires owners to provide a good training environment to ensure the health and safety of both cats and owners.

　　1. Cat training should start from kittenhood

　　When kittens reach two months old, they should leave their mother. After entering a new home, they become "only children" and thus regard humans (especially fingers or toes) as their playmates. Being lively, naughty, and curious is a kitten’s nature. Sometimes they like to nibble on human fingers, partly as play and partly to grind their teeth (cats, like humans, go through teething). People often like to tease them with their hands, and the sensation of kitten teeth biting on the hand is quite fun and not painful. Therefore, many owners of single kittens do not discipline them, which to some extent encourages the habit of biting. Some people also like to feed cats with food held in their hands or tease them with toys in their hands. Kittens haven’t yet learned to retract their claws or understand their own strength, so they may accidentally scratch. If owners do not stop this and let cats know it’s wrong, the cats will develop a habit of scratching. When cats grow bigger with larger, sharper teeth and claws, biting fingers or scratching arms, like when they were little, will become unbearable! At that time, disciplining them will not be as easy as it was when they were kittens.
