Preface

Cat training often causes great headaches for owners, mainly due to some rigid training methods. Cats often develop resistance, and conventional training methods are not effective. We must use other ways to arouse cats' interest

Do we often feel that cats are idle and lazy at home, which is not in line with our imagined image of catching mice and walking on eaves? Indeed, domesticated cats have gradually lost their former wildness, become delicate, and lack exercise. If we want cats to recover their skills, we need to constantly train them.

However, cat training often causes great headaches for owners, mainly due to some rigid training methods. Cats often develop resistance, making it difficult to implement. Training is necessary, as it means keeping cats fit, allowing them to exercise, strengthen their bodies, and avoid the occurrence of diseases such as various problems caused by obesity. Therefore, if conventional training methods are not effective, we must use other ways to arouse cats' interest.

I don't know if the owners have noticed, but cats like to play jumping games and tracking games, and these two games can promote good muscle development in cats during their growth and development. So prepare some relatively easy and movable toys in advance, such as table tennis, spring balls, badminton, etc. But objects such as glass balls that are too large for kittens to swallow cannot be given to them, otherwise they can do anything. Frequently using these toys to play with kittens can not only help them practice jumping and ambushing appropriately, but also prevent cats from using the bodies of family members for practice.

1. Tracking Game

This game is very fun and will allow both the owner and the cat to have fun at the same time. We can place the cat next to us and put its favorite food in a corner of the room (not too much). When the cat is desperately searching for food, it quickly sneaks to an invisible corner and softly calls out its name. When he runs towards you, give him some reward and praise him with words. The prerequisite for playing this game is persistence. If the cat repeats this behavior every day, it will feel that the owner is playing the game with it.

2. Jump Game

I believe everyone has played this game before. In a room with lights turned off, shining a beam of light on the wall or floor and letting the cat chase after it can exercise its jumping ability. But make sure there is nothing in this room that poses a danger to the cat, and prevent it from knocking over things while running. There are many things that generate lasers, and many cat teaser sticks now have this function.

3. Aerobic exercise

Firstly, you need to have a toy mouse, then tie the mouse to your slippers with a thin rope, and slowly walk on the floor. Make sure to intentionally let the cat see you. After taking two steps, you will find that the cat can't resist the temptation and stands up to chase after the toy mouse. After he gets used to moving on flat surfaces such as floors, he can play this game at corners, room turns, and stairs. Once it can catch a mouse, it should be rewarded immediately, such as praising it or giving it a small snack. After he becomes familiar with it, increase the amount of exercise and you will have a great time playing with the cat at the same time.

Of course, when playing with cats, one should also pay attention to safety. We often see people being accidentally scratched and bitten by cats during the process of playing with cats, which requires us to pay attention to before training and exercise. For example, in spring, small animals such as cats and dogs begin to enter their estrus period, and their copulation is prone to mania and aggression. Many children are often bitten or scratched by pets at home. It's best not to train at this time. Additionally, be good at observing the cat's emotions. When the pet is eating or feeling restless, try not to touch it with your hands to avoid unnecessary physical harm.

In short, it is best to start training cats from a young age. Owners should develop good habits for cats from a young age and try not to tease them with their hands, especially not to put their fingers on their mouths and suddenly take them away. This action will make them treat your hands as prey and instinctively grab and bite them. Friends who have the means can consider keeping two cats at the same time. Two cats are companions to each other, and they can play very well. They won't feel lonely when their owners are not at home, and because of their playmates, their interest in "attacking" people will be greatly reduced.
