Can the kitten recognize his mistakes?
In fact, there is no word "making mistakes" in the cat's dictionary! Because:
Cats actually cannot realize that what they do is wrong or sinful.
If you have similar guilt and avoidance behaviors, you just feel your anger and react to it.
However, although the cat does not know that he has made a mistake, he can gradually guide him to know what you are unwilling to let him do.
Most of the time, cats can only guess where you are not satisfied
This is why, many people insist on educating cats with punishment, and even think that as long as they don't beat them hard, using the methods of scaring, slapping, and scolding is the correct way to treat cats that make mistakes.
But in fact, this is not very reliable.
In most cases, you do not catch the "crime scene" of the cat
The time when most people find out that the cat makes a mistake is long since it does bad things.
Simply put, it is just that the current situation is not captured.
Finally, I was captured on the spot!
Therefore, no matter how you scold him afterwards, he will only be confused - I sleep here honestly, why are you so fierce when you come here?
Why did you suddenly get angry with me?
The cat does not understand human language, so there is no room for guessing at this time. The scolding will only make him afraid and stay away from you.
What if I catch it? Can you "educate"?
Some people realize this and learn to "grasp the current situation". Then take:
to scold the cat loudly.
Use a water gun or spray bottle to scare the cat.
Make noise or smell that the cat doesn't like to make him retreat.
Water guns were once a common method to train cats, but have gradually been abandoned in recent years.
These methods are called "disgusting stimulation", which means letting the cat know that "you will be unlucky or be shocked when doing this."
Although sometimes it can have some effects, some people even think that cats have been "educated". But this actually has many hidden dangers!
First of all, doing this may fail
Not all cats can be educated in loud scolding. Some cats even think, "If I did this, the shoveler will respond loudly to me! Then I will do it in the future..."
There are also some cats who actually like water guns...
Which water guns or bottle sprays can sometimes make the cats frighten and have a bad impression of you! These negative stimuli may even allow the cat to accumulate more stress and lead to other behavioral problems.
Secondly, there is a reason for not completely solving the problem
All "what you think" is "a mistake".
You just stopped the behavior, but did not solve the problem, which led to the cat just changing the venting channel.
For example: When a cat scratches the sofa, you yell?
—Although TA ran away, you did not solve TA's claw grinding needs, TA may scratch the paper tube.
Where can I catch it? Change the ground!
The kitten likes to bite you when playing, did you solve it by pinching the back of your neck?
—But TA's need for playing and interaction is not met, and he may make trouble for something else to vent his energy.
Actually, I just want to play
So you should think about it carefully, what exactly is the problem that fails to satisfy the nature of a cat? Only by solving the problem can the cat avoid making mistakes.
There are some cats' faults, which are originally your faults
If the cats always break things?
It's all because you didn't put things in place and fix them, and didn't provide a variety of toys you like.
What if a cat likes to flip through the trash can?
Did you not meet your dietary needs and have not covered the trash can?
What if the cat always urinates?
That may be because you haven’t noticed that the pressure you have accumulated is already very high, so you can’t bear it anymore!
