Hi! Im veterinarian and Purina Cat Chow Mentor Doctor Karen Sueda. Creating a lasting, healthy bond with your kitten and nurturing her self-esteem starts the moment you bring her home. And one of the best things you can do for her long-term well-being is to socialize her early on. Your kitten will grow up to be a more confident and social cat if you start making calm and controlled introductions to people as early as possible. One of the most important benefits of this is that shell be less afraid of visitors and less stressed if someone else cares for her while you are away. Of course, your veterinarian will appreciate it as well! Three great ways to socialize and bond with your kitten are playing, grooming, and offering food rewards. Get a variety of fun, cat friendly toys and take the time to play games with her. Shell soon realize that the fun begins when the toys come out and should react favorably when others try to play with her as well. But remember never to use your hands as playthings as that can encourage inappropriate biting or scratching. If your kitten loves to be brushed, have a short grooming session when visitors arrive and if your friends are willing, hand them the brush so they can get in on the action too! Finally, for some cats, the way to their heart is through their stomach. If your kitten is motivated by food, have strangers offer her a few pieces of kibble. You may even want to feed her meal in the same room as your visitors so she associates their presence with a full stomach. These rewards can also be used to get your kitten used to the other pets, or any other new experience that may be a little stressful. The bottom line is this: dont wait to socialize your kitten. The sooner you begin carefully exposing her to new people and new experiences, the better shell be in the long run. And her long-term well-being is an important thing. Thanks for watching! And remember that giving your kitten lots of love and affection will help build the foundation for your happy, healthy life together.

Hi! Im veterinarian and Purina Cat Chow Mentor Doctor Karen Sueda. Few things are more fun than watching a new kitten explore, get riled-up, and be rambunctious. But as your kitten grows, you may notice behaviors that cause concern. Its important to remember that cats and kittens dont misbehave just to make trouble or because theyre mad at you. Their behavior is largely based on instinct and learning. Its the way you react to your kitten that will ultimately affect her habits. Your kitten will be sensitive to your tone of voice. If you catch your kitten acting inappropriately, clap your hands and say a stern no. Clapping your hands often interrupts the undesirable behavior. Ideally, try to do this out of your kittens sight so they dont associate your presence with the reprimand. That way, they wont learn they can misbehave when youre not around. Never, ever hit your kitten or use your hands to make physical contact with her when you are upset. This can have a very negative impact on her trust of you and your long-term relationship. Some misbehavior occurs just because your kitten wants to play and might not have her social or exploratory needs met. Its important to set aside special play time where she can get energy out and explore. Providing diversions such as safe toys, window perches, climbing towers, and scratching posts will allow your kitten to engage in normal behaviors in an appropriate way. Another way to strengthen your bond and develop your kittens mind is to teach her tricks. With a little patience, you can teach her to shake hands, wave, sit up, and come when called. If youre experiencing common shenanigans like your kitten jumping on counters, inappropriate scratching, or crazy behavior in the middle of the night, youll find plenty of good suggestions on how to address these by visiting KittenChow.com. I think youll find that establishing good behaviors early and engaging your kitten in fun activities will result in household harmony. Thanks for watching! And remember that giving your kitten lots of love and affection will help build the foundation for your happy, healthy life together.

Cats are known to be more difficult to train than dogs. They tend to be more independent and walk with an air of royalty about them. Our cream white persian kitten fits that description pretty well. However, when it comes to some basic commands, he has been much easier to train and has learned the tricks more quickly than one of our puppies. This video features some of the tricks that our kitten can perform thus far.

Please subscribe to our channel ^^ http://www.youtube.com/sweetfurx4 to follow our pets as they learn more commands. They also have their own blog at http://SweetFurr.Blogspot.com/, so come visit them for pictures and stories. =)
