  For many pet owners, they not only hope their cats bring endless joy to the owner, but of course also hope the cats have some small skills. Although cats' intelligence cannot compare to humans, as long as the owner patiently teaches, the basics can definitely be learned.

  Kittens have two ways of learning: initially from the mother cat's teaching by example, and later learning and growing through experience. Every action the kitten takes, if the result is something it likes, it will persist.

  Learning to bite and scratch:

  Kittens must be educated early to prevent excessive behavior and correctly use their weapons (teeth and claws). During play, kittens gradually learn the appropriate strength for biting and scratching.

  Learning how to play:

  Play holds a crucial role in the kitten’s social life, encouraging exploration and promoting physical development. Play also relieves loneliness; just having toys is not enough. Only when it keeps chasing, running, spinning around, and playing can it truly get excited.

  Learning how to hunt:

  In the wild, kittens start learning hunting skills very early. By the first month, kittens already know the basic posture for hunting. However, only by the sixth week, when the mother brings back prey, do they understand what is edible. By the second month, kittens know how to overcome inner fear and have mastered hunting skills proficiently.

  Training how to use the litter box:

  The mother cat teaches kittens how to urinate and defecate. Between the 5th and 6th week, kittens learn how to use the litter box and spend a long time covering their feces in it. If kittens have not received proper training, you can place them in the litter box, pinch their paws to dig a hole, then cover their feces. By repeating this several times, the kitten will know how to properly urinate and defecate.

  Editor’s tip: Be sure to train kittens only when they are healthy. Sick cats cannot endure such trials, especially kittens. (Source:PetsZone)
