How to Train your cat & kitten
Use Positive Reinforcement
• Reward desired behavior with treats, praise, or play.
•For example: When your cat uses the litter box or comes when called, give a treat immediately.
•Never use punishment—it causes fear and confusion.
Be Consistent and Use Simple Cues
• Use short, clear commands like “sit,” “come,” or their name.
•Practice daily in short sessions (5–10 minutes).
•Always respond the same way to behaviors (e.g., ignore jumping on counters, reward sitting calmly).
Redirect and Encourage Good Habits
• If your cat does something undesirable (like scratching furniture), gently redirect to a scratching post and reward when used.
•Make the right choices easy—provide toys, scratchers, and climbing spots.
