The kitties. Those little balls of hair (or hairless, if it is one that does not have, like the Sphynx) that with just a glance awakens our protective instinct. His character is that of a puppy: as everything is new to him, you need to research and explore every corner of the home, and again.
From 2 months of age to about a year, he loves to do mischief under the gaze of his caregiver; so sometimes it is not easy to control. So, How to train a kitten?
The furry ones are… tremendous 🙂. They run from here to there, they climb on top of the table, the sofa, ... well, wherever they can. They can drop things ("unintentionally" to get your attention), scratch where they shouldn't ... I said: for a few months the home can be in chaos. But everything has a solution. In fact, you just have to be very patient and set limits, just as a father would with his child. You have to be firm but not violentOtherwise we would end up getting a scary cat.
Another thing to keep in mind is that it is difficult for a cat to stop climbing on the table or bed when it was given permission to do so before. It is not impossible 🙂, but yes that we can save a lot of time if we don't let him do it right from the start.
As for the game sessions, these will have to be daily. Every day we will play with him for at least 30-40 minutes (divided into 3 to 4 sessions of 10 minutes), always putting a toy (a stuffed animal, a rope, a box) between our hands and him so that he learns that our body cannot be scratched or bitten. Thus, we will ensure that you are calmer and arrive at night tired, wanting to sleep (and not to walk around the house 🙂).
Raising a kitten takes time and requires a great deal of patience, but in the end the work bears fruit.
The behavior of cats is similar to that of the monkey, mischievous and cheeky. I have been a bad educator and they have practically done what they wanted.
It is difficult to tell a cat not to go up to a place or not to tear the decoration off the wall ... and listen to you, surely it is not impossible, but to control 9, I lost my patience and decided to accept the collateral damage and protect what mattered to me, keeping it or closing doors.
I look at the positive side, and I think, well it's also entertaining to see them jumping and running around so happy.
Sometimes they take things away from you to chase and catch them, they want you to play with them and that's their way of asking you. Or like when you open a drawer or a cupboard and they put 3 or 4. The same, they like to play cat and mouse. And take them out of a room a whole odyssey, you take 1 and enter 3, they have a great time dodging you!
Although sometimes not remembering its pillería can lead you to find all the crepes that you have cooked scattered around the house ...
To say something in her favor, I will say that at first they had factors against her, it seemed that my daughter was allergic (she entered a room with many cats to adopt one and after a while her eyes became red, watery and swollen) and without However, now he sometimes sleeps with them, fills them with kisses and nothing at all.
My husband did not like cats, and after a while, he does not recognize it but you can see that he loves them very much, because of how he cares and how he pampers them, he has even taught one to bump his foot! 🙂
Could it be that they have that secret look that hypnotizes you and you fall to the bottom of their incredible sorcerous eyes?
It is very possible that it is about that, without a doubt 🙂. They are very intelligent and know how to get what they want. And how to resist them? It can not.
