Three Methods and Techniques to Warn Pet Cats
1. Kitten on the Bed
Whenever she climbs onto the bed, lie facing her, stare directly at her eyes, and make a "um..." sound in your throat, which is usually the warning sound cats make to each other when fighting and showing dominance.
This sound is hard to imitate but very effective.
Then raise your hand as if you are about to hit her; or simultaneously make a hissing sound while blowing air towards her nose.
Or extend your hand in a clawing gesture like cats do when scratching each other, quickly touching and sweeping her paws, nose, and head; she is guaranteed to be scared away.
— Of course, you need to try to appear threatening (the more you imitate an adult dominant cat defending territory, the better), and avoid making friendly gestures like smiling or scratching her gently.
2. Picky Eating
When the cat is picky about food, the owner points to the food and watches her eat.
If she doesn’t eat, let her be a little hungry. If she still refuses, you can offer some food she usually accepts, but do not give her the favorite foods at this time; otherwise, the owner loses the battle with the cat.
3. Mischief
Carry her to the scene of the accident, point at the damaged item, pat her paw, and say some reprimanding words.
Next time she causes damage, if caught in the act by the owner, scold her loudly.
Although physical punishment can correct bad kitten habits, cats tend to become timid and fearful of people. The above-mentioned psychological admonition method should not be abused, or the cat will become very afraid of the owner.
Cats are intelligent animals and should be often spoiled with tasty treats as rewards; this will make them affectionate towards their owner.
But when cats are picky or misbehaving, it’s essential to make them understand proper reprimand.
Don’t just scold her randomly when she doesn’t understand what she did wrong, as she will look very wronged.
Most importantly, do not hit the buttocks and abdomen; gently patting the forehead and nose is enough for the cat to understand the scolding. (Source:PetsZone)
