As a household pet, training should start from a young age, otherwise when they grow older, many bad habits will form and be difficult to correct. All pet cats raised at home need strict training from their owners, and American Shorthair cats should be no exception, such as training them to use a fixed place for defecation and urination, eat and drink in a fixed place, or correct some bad habits. So when is the best age to train an American Shorthair cat?

　　Generally speaking, the best age to train American Shorthair cats is after their physical development is complete, which means training can start when the cat is 2-3 months old. At this time, cats are more obedient and have stronger learning abilities. In daily training, the best time to train American Shorthair cats should be before feeding, because the food prepared for training is tempting to a hungry American Shorthair cat; a hungry cat is also more willing to get close to people and will be very obedient. Owners will find it easier to control the cat during training, and the cat will be more likely to complete the training tasks under the lure of food.

　　When training American Shorthair cats, owners need to be very patient because cats do not understand human speech and should not be rushed. Different training methods can be combined to achieve better results. Moreover, training pet cats should not be rushed; the owner's training should be gradual, and each time the cat must fully master one action to consolidate it before moving on to the next training. At the same time, the training environment should be quiet to prevent the American Shorthair cat from being disturbed by other things during training, which could affect the training effect.

　　In order to have an obedient and gentle American Shorthair cat, proper training will save the owner a lot of trouble. So be sure to start training from a young age.
