1. First of all, before buying the cat, prepare a pet nest or box for it, and put cotton mat or grass inside. If it's winter, put a hot water bottle inside. Or place the cat's nest in a warm place and let the cat sleep in it every day.

2. If it is found that the cat is unwilling to return to its nest to sleep and goes to sleep in a human bed, the cat owner must give the "no" command and put the cat back into its own nest. And cover the box with a cover made of wire mesh, forcing the cat to sleep inside. By repeating this training several times, the cat can gradually develop a good habit of sleeping in a fixed place.

Owners should pay attention to the following points when training kittens

1. Kittens are easier to train than adult cats. Don’t miss the kitten’s growth process, otherwise it will become like “if you don’t train it when you are young, it will turn out to be an idiot”.

2. Do the right training at the right time. Don't dwell on old scores. Cats are very forgetful. If you do well, reward the cat immediately. If you do something wrong, stop and punish the cat immediately. Only then will the training be effective.

3. The three-hearted policy of patience, love and determination. Every cat has a different personality. For example, cats with high self-esteem should not be scolded easily. For cats with strong inertia, owners should always remind them that "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude" is also useful for cats.

How to train a cat to be obedient?

1. Call its name: When you call it for a long time, the cat doesn’t notice it. It must be very frustrating for the owner, right? Regarding the training of “understanding your own name”, many people think that cats are more difficult to teach than dogs. , In fact, this is not the case. Basically, the IQ of cats is not inferior to that of dogs. "Understanding their own names" also comes from the skill and patience of their owners' training.

2. Bait method: Before eating and when taking out the rice bowl, keep calling its name; when showing its favorite snacks (dried fish, cheese, etc.), call its name immediately. If you associate the name with the food, the cat will remember it quickly.

3. Timing method: When the cat is excited and happy, call its name as often as possible. For example, games, petting, chin scratching, gentle combing, etc. Calling the cat's name frequently when it feels comfortable and happy can also enhance the effect of remembering the name.

4. One whip method: When the cat is familiar with the name, it can detect the owner's emotions from the tone of the owner's name. Therefore, don’t “trap” the cat in the stage of learning its name. For example, if the cat is causing trouble, the owner pretends to call it over in order to punish it. The unsuspecting cat comes obediently, but is spanked by the owner. After a few times, the cat will be confused about the owner’s intention of calling it. Even when it hears the name, it will feel that it will be punished and run away immediately!

5. Remedy: If a mistake has been made, you can only consider changing its name and starting over. There are also cases where adult cats can get used to new names, but the chances are relatively low. Some cats don’t understand their own names, but rather want to respond or not, so there’s no way around it!
