No matter how much you love to spoil and pamper your pet, the truth is your little tiger has to follow the rules of the house. True, cats are independent creatures but they need routines and schedules, too. And in order to avoid constant stress over kitty’s dirty deeds, you must establish what is acceptable and what is not.
A significant consideration while “cat training” or “kitten training”, primarily during their house training, is being aware that berating your pet simply isn’t always effective. At first, pet owners may experience frustration while attempting to teach their cat how to use a litter box because they can’t catch the feline in the misconduct so they can reprove them.
Ordinarily, a person will attempt to convey the proof to the cat and exert authority over their pet when it occurs, perhaps even luring the cat to return to the box and making him paw through the litter. This is a facet of “cat training” that teaches your pet that his owner is his tormentor and the litter box is his punishment.

A lot of people believe that cats work on their own agenda, not paying much attention to their owner – provided they have clean litter, food, and water.
Cats can behave in odd manners at times, which can easily confuse their owners and make it really hard to determine what the cat wants. As much as cat behavior can be confusing, there are some ways that you can solve common cat behavior mysteries.
A common behavior that almost all cats do is push their heads into any type of object that will allow them to do it. You’ve probably seen your cat do this before, probably against table legs, TV stands, or another object.
They’re cute, they’re loveable, and they can tear up your favorite chair before you can say, “bad cat!”
Well, of course I’m talking about America’s favorite pet – the cat. (I know, some of you think the dog is America’s favorite pet. But, us cat lovers know better.) But, as most people who have cats (particularly indoor cats) also know, these adorable creatures can make messes outside their boxes and tear up furniture if not properly trained. And the best time to do the training is when the cat is young.
You can’t train a cat, like you can a dog. If you try to, you’ll probably cause behavioural problems later on. But you can teach it not to perform bad habits. But most times the owner will have to change to fit in with the cat.
Every one in your house, should agree with what you are going to allow the cat to do. Do not change the rules when you’ve decided them, as this can cause difficulties.
You have settled into your favorite armchair, perhaps reading the final chapters of a gripping novel. Suddenly you are aware of the imploring stare of your cat sitting at your feet. You invite her onto your lap. Gently you begin to stroke her and your cat signals her appreciation with an audible purr.
One hand holding your book the other hand continuing to pet your mouser, you again get lost in your novel. All is well in the world with you and with your cat.
Suddenly your cat bites your hand!
Why did kitty do that? Why did she bite the hand that strokes her?
