When is the Best Time to Train Cats
Folded Ear Cat
Whether or not someone has raised a cat, many may agree on one point: cats are very self-centered animals, so training them is not an easy task. Actually, this saying is only half correct. Cats' attitude towards life is self-centered, but this does not mean they are hard to tame. As long as you master the correct method, making a cat obedient is not as difficult as you think.
1. The Best Time to Train Cats
The best time to train cats is when they are hungry because they know you can satisfy their needs. Therefore, as long as you give reasonable commands, even if they are unwilling, they will temporarily cooperate with you to fill their stomachs.
2. Training Precautions
1. The training time for cats should not be too long. Generally, after 15 minutes, the cat's patience will gradually disappear. Forcing training will not help cats master the skills but will cause resentment. However, if you feed your cat twice a day, you can train your cat before these two meals. Similarly, training can also be done before giving snacks.
2. Owners can have cats repeat learned skills before feeding. If these skills are not repeated long-term, cats may gradually forget them.
3. Using snacks to train cats should not be too frequent. Because snacks have good palatability, training cats with snacks constantly may lead to two results—cats require increasingly better stimuli to learn new skills and may develop picky eating habits.
4. Rewards also have levels. If the same reward is always given, cats will definitely be unwilling to learn harder skills. To encourage cats to learn more difficult skills, the owner's rewards should also be more difficult to obtain. (Source:PetsZone)
