Advice To Effectively Teach Your Pet Cat

Martha Churchill — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:17:33 +0000

You need to train your cat differently than you would train a dog; cats are very different. Cats have unique personalities, and are much more independent than is your average dog. Plus, they have different behaviors that are largely unique to cats.

The best place to start training your cat is to teach it not to jump on the table. Ideally, you will start teaching your cat this when it is still a kitten. This way the cat grows up knowing that the table is not where they should be.

Since you want to discourage your cat from getting onto the table, it is important that you not feed it on the table. It is inconsistent and confusing to tell a cat not to be on a table, then feed it up there so that the cat literally has to get onto the table to eat.

Your cat should also be trained to not bite. Watch where you put your hands on a cat, especially on a female cat. Touching a cat on the hind area can make it uncomfortable, and an uncomfortable or nervous cat may bite you to get you to stop bothering it.

Cats are great pets and it is important to teach them right from wrong at an early age. If you let your cat jump on the table for the first year of its life and then you try to teach them it is not a proper thing to do, they will not understand.

Keep at it. The key to successful training of your cat is to be persistent. Training a cat successfully takes time.

Remember, a well-behaved cat is a more pleasant pet to have. It will make a big difference to your enjoyment of your pet.

Invest some time and effort into teaching your cat the proper way to behave. This will be well worth it. Know at the outset, though, that it won’t happen overnight.

THE AMAZING ACRO-CATS CELEBRATE THEIR MEOWY CHRISTMAS SHOW!
Saturday, December 12 & Sunday, December 13, 2009
doors open at 11am until 5pm with shows at 12pm and 3pm both days.

The Amazing Acro-Cats will be celebrating Christmas (or Catmas) by jumping through wreaths, rolling an ornament, pushing a sleigh and performing an array of other seasonal tricks.

There will also be a special appearance by The Rock-Cats playing seasonal carol selections such as A Cat in a Manger, Catnip Roasting on an Open Fire and God Rest Ye Merry Kittens.

These special performances have a holiday twist on what has already proven to be a fun-filled and one-of-a-kind show for audiences and cat lovers of all ages.

Watch these not so ordinary Santas Kittens disprove the notion that cats cant be trained, as they perform a variety of Christmas themed tricks.

These festive felines all live with Ms. Martin, owner of Amazing Animals by Samantha.

The little Kat Kringles spend their days playing and training in rooms converted from a humans habitat into a cat playground of props, perches and platforms.

Most of the Acro-Cat Performers are former shelter kitties Samantha has adopted and clicker trained.

PLEASE COME OUT TO HELP THESE KITTIES FIND HOMES FOR THE HOLIDAYS!

A show that doesn’t fit into any other cat-egory…The Midwest’s only trained domestic cat show!

Our fantastic felines will amuse and amaze your guests as they ride skateboards, ring bells, roll barrels, walk the high wire, climb ropes, push a shopping cart, jump through hoops, and even run a cat-size agility course.

Dollbaby DANDELION is looking for her FURR-EVER home in Northern Virginia!

admin — Mon, 03 May 2010 03:02:50 +0000

DANDELION is available for adoption through Friends of Homeless Animals, www.foha.org – (703) 385-0224. Hi! I’m a special girl who is so very deserving of a special home. My name is Dandelion. Now, while some folks might think that a Dandelion is a weed without value, its been said that a weed is just a flower that people dont yet appreciate. I can empathize with that bright yellow plant. Me, Im a bright orange cat. I spent my first 4 ½ years living at an institution where veterinarians are trained. I lived there and served as a training aid, it might be said. I first went to the institution as a kitten. After 4 ½ years, I was permitted to leave the institute if an adopter could be found. I guess someone empathized with my plight and found value in my life. Here at FOHA, I get a second chance at a new life, an opportunity to find a home where I can live in a different type of environment. Can you see how LOVING I am? Just look at my kitty paws go when I’m so happy. I adore attention, and long rubs/brushes, and oh yeah, KITTY TREATS!! I love to greet you when I see you coming. Ive adjusted very well to my new life, but I cannot wait until I have an opportunity to truly blossom in a home of my own and be your beloved companion and family pet. For more information on adopting DANDELION, call 703-385-0224 or email adoptacat@foha.org
