In order for Persian cats to closely align with their owner’s lifestyle and to achieve a more harmonious life between owner and cat, it is necessary to conduct some behavioral training for the cat, such as correcting problems like scratching furniture wildly or inappropriate elimination. It is best to start training cats from a young age.

　　1. Training age: training should begin at 3 months old. At this age, cats are more receptive to training and it lays the foundation for future improvement. They also show better obedience towards their owners.

　　2. Training timing is very critical. The best time to train a cat is before feeding, because a hungry cat is willing to be close to people, is more obedient, and food serves as a strong incentive, making training easier.

　　3. Organic combination of various stimuli: various stimuli and methods should be combined organically. One should neither be too harsh nor let the cat do as it pleases; a balance of firmness and gentleness, leniency and strictness is required. However, when training a specific action, do not use too many methods at once, to avoid confusing the cat.

　　4. Progress step by step, do not rush: only one action can be taught at a time, and multiple trainings should not be conducted simultaneously. Cats find it difficult to learn many actions at once, and always failing may cause the cat to lose confidence and develop aversion, making future training difficult. Each training session should not last longer than 10 minutes, but multiple sessions can be conducted daily.

　　5. The training environment should be quiet: avoid training with several people at the same time to prevent distracting the cat. Movements during training should not be sudden or produce loud noises, as cats are very sensitive to loud sounds and sudden actions; this may scare them away or cause them to hide and refuse to accept training.

　　These training methods are widely used by many owners. Training a pet cat is both an art and a technical task. Owners must master the best ways to train their cats. These five key methods are the essence and can help owners easily train their pets.
