Kitten Training Tips

Author: Ken Charnely

In this article, we hope to share with you the many aspects that
this important subject has to offer. Deciding to get a pet and
keeping it indoors will take a lot of responsibility. Chores
such as feeding the animal or giving it a bath are just one of
the few things the owner will have to do but there is more.
Since these pets are not yet trained how to behave, the person
will have to devote a lot of time and effort to make this
happen.

The best time to train animals especially if one decides to keep
it indoors is when it is still young and having kittens in the
house is no exception. The good news about raising a cat is that
it is easier to teach and maintain, unlike dogs that may require
some assistance in a school.

The first thing that a person needs to know before getting a cat
is learning about its behaviors. In general, these animals are
very affectionate and are well behaved. When one notices certain
changes in the mood of the cat, there is usually something wrong
that can be corrected once the cause has been determined.

Here are some tips that can help a person train a kitten at home;

1. Kittens need exercise. If this is not done in the form of
toys for the animal to play with, it will become restless and
could do damage to your home.

2. Since kittens are not yet toilet trained, it is best to start
by teaching it what to do with a litter box. The litter box
should be big enough for the pet to enter and move around in. By
adding newspaper and perhaps carpet, the animal will soon learn
where to release waste when it is time.

3. The claws of kittens are not that sharp yet compared to older
cats. So that these creatures will not damage the furniture in
the future, it is best to get a scratching pad and teaching it
that this is the proper place to scratch.

Praising the kitten for doing a good job and feeding it as a
reward will help in teaching the kitten how to behave inside the
house. The owner should not shout or hit the kitten since this
will make the animal fear the person and no amount of effort in
teaching it will work after that experience.

Kittens are lovable animals and by spending some time daily with
them and with a little patience, this will all pay off as one
can finally see that the animal has been finally house trained.
Having this information handy will help you a great deal the
next time you find yourself in need of it.
