Tips for a Well-Behaved Feline: A Guide for Cat Owners
We all want our fur babies to behave well. If they aren’t trained while young, they develop a behavior that’s hard to deal with when they grow up. As long as they are still young, we should guide them and show them how to act properly.
So, here are some tips that can help you train your cats:
Establish a routine
Set a schedule for feeding, playtime, bed time and other activities. Sticking to a consistent schedule will make them feel secured and they will be less stressed.
Give them something to scratch
Just like when you are jiggling your legs, scratching is a natural behavior for cats. It’s important to give them outlets whenever they’re having an itch to scratch. Letting them do this will help release their tension and stress.
Reward them
This is a powerful tool in training our cats. Reward them with treats, praise them, and play with them whenever they are doing something right. Even by just using the litter box, you should reward them so they’ll intuitively know that it’s the right thing to do.
Be patient and consistent
Training a cat can take time and patience. It’s important to be consistent in your training methods and avoid punishment, as this can make your cat fearful and stressed.
Play with them
Cats need mental and physical stimulation to stay happy and healthy. Give them toys and give time to play with them so they are entertained. As much as possible, don’t let them feel bored.

Keeping it clean
Cats are naturally clean animals, and a dirty litter box can be a major source of stress and behavior issues. Clean the litter box regularly and provide enough boxes for multiple cats.
By following these tips, you can help your cat become a well-behaved furry companion. Always be consistent and patient. Show love to your beloved cuties whenever you have the chance.
