　　Training Cats—Loudly Scold When the Cat Misbehaves

　　To ensure both people and cats live comfortably, it is necessary for cats to follow each household's rules. For this, cats must be properly taught and given the minimum necessary education. If you master the following four points, the training of the cat will definitely proceed smoothly. The first point is immediate on-the-spot criticism. When it does something it shouldn't, at that moment you should immediately say "No," "Hey," loudly scolding it. Of course, the cat does not stop because it understands the owner's words, but because it is startled by the loud noise and stops its behavior. If this is done repeatedly, the cat will gradually feel that it is troublesome to be loudly scolded for doing that, and therefore will not do it again.

　　Training Cats—It is completely useless to take the cat to the scene of the 'crime' and lecture it after it has done something wrong. Cats are forgetful animals; even if the cat was scolded just now because of the previous action, it will not understand why it was scolded.

　　Training Cats—When the cat behaves well, it is also very important to praise it sufficiently

　　The second point is patient education. It does not mean that if you scold today you can allow it tomorrow; rather, you should patiently scold with the same attitude at all times. If the person gives up halfway, then all previous efforts will be wasted. As a result, the cat will become conceited.

　　The third point is absolutely never to implement corporal punishment. If you hit the cat casually, it will develop a fear of the owner and consequently a submissive character. Because the cat’s body is much smaller than a human’s, it is very likely to get injured if hit.

　　The fourth point is to greatly praise the cat when it behaves well. Although cats cannot understand the owner's words, they are very clear about the difference between a scolding voice and a praise voice. When the cat is praised, its mood will also improve, gradually enhancing the effect of the training.

　　Of course, under these circumstances, it is important to praise on the spot rather than afterwards.
