Cat Training – The Meows And The Purrs
A Cat ‘meows’. Yes it sounds so good but if it meows loudly and continuously, then the same sound becomes irritating. What do you think the reason can be? Is it hungry?
YES and NO
Yes, hungry, it can be, but apart from this there can many other reasons, why it is ‘meowing’. The reason may be anything it may be because it is just bored, or can be because it has suffering from some kind of discomfort or has some medical problem.
What should you do it she keeps meowing? Offer her milk…
No! You should not offer her any food when it is incessantly meowing, as it will think that this as a kind of reward and would keep meowing… This will increase its bad behavior and would affect the relationship between you and the cat.
Offer it food, when it stops meowing, this will be registered in its mind, that if it does not meow unnecessarily, it will be rewarded. You will need to get your cat to learn when it is appropriate to meow, when they really need something. You need to see that all the cat needs is always available to it, as far as possible. This would mean your cat will do less meowing.
Cats are usually lazy and would not exercise by themselves. They love to cat nap all day long. You need to set up a playtime and a play area. Keep Strings, ball, catnip items, or simple home made items that your cat will love. See that the items kept are without any sharp edges which might hurt your pet. This will help it get into a good habit of keeping itself occupied while you are busy with something else.
You should spend sometime in a day and preferable keep it same time everyday. A good time would be when you return home from work and you want to relax. It is proved that playing with or just stroking cats helps one relax and keeps blood pressure under control.
Purring is another characteristic of a cat. Purring signifies that the cat is content. Follow this with caution as purring does not always signify that the cat is happy. Cats also purrs if they are ill, sick or dying. Pay close attention to your cat, when it is purring and check for any physical signals which might suggest that it is not feeling well.
If it stops purring, that too signifies that it has some discomfort maybe it may be sick with a virus or something could be making her feel sick. These are signals to suggest you that seek the services of a veterinarian and have your cat examined. Non-purring may also happen when cats get older or maybe the purring is so soft that you are unable to hear them it.
As in humans, emotions play a very important part of a behavior in your cat. Fears, grief, compassion, jealously affect the behavior of your feline friends too.
* As fear is intimating to us so is it for them, it may have a fear of getting hurt or may be afraid of another animal.
* Cat would exhibit grief, when something tragic happens to it like loosing its owner, the same way as we do when we loose our near or dear ones.
* Cats have compassion for other cats.
* Your meowing and purring pet also turns green with jealousy if it has to share its owner, home, toys or food.
It is these emotions, you need to consider, when you are training your cat. It would be disturbed and might resort to excessive meowing and refuse to listen to its master. When they show the signs of being emotional, you need to find what is affecting their behavior.
Are they hurt or are they ill or is it just their bad behavior.
Cats, being emotional, need your attention all the time. You need to observe, if they are satisfied with the location, they are comfortable with other pets or other members of the family and you should always be aware of their actions.
Training a pet is tricky. It is Time and Patience which will help you through. They are to be treated like our children, teach them good behavior and ignore their bad attitude.
Reward your cat for being good. You need to give time to your cat to teach them how to play with toys and other items which you have kept for their playing. Always feed you cat with healthy food; these will ensure good medical condition and happy-content behavior.
Get toys which they would practically like to play with. Do not go in for toys which you would like them to play with.
Love them, Hug them and be kind to them, and you would be able to share the most beautiful relationship.

Question by chrysta: What is the trick to potty training your cat?
By potty train, I mean on a toilet, like a human. I bought a litter kwitter, which is supposed to help, but they still sometimes go poop in the bathtub. They pee in the toilet, but for some reason #2 is a challenge.

Answer by luvrats
No trick, just show them the littler box. Most cats WANT to use the box. Make sure you have the litter box in an easily accessible place and keep it CLEAN. That’s all it should take.
What do you think? Answer below!

@windt Ebay xD, or pet stores. My veterinarian sells them, and from what I remember, they’re just called ‘Clickers’.
How do you teach a cat that trick?
i tried to teach my abyssinian kitten this and he is very unresponsive…i think hes stupid….
First things first all you have to do is show them the first time where the litter box is by putting them in it and then they will find and go to it everytime, its their natural instinct.
There is no trick, A cat goes naturally to a clean soft spot, like a litter box provides.
If it doesn’t that it is sick and take it to the Vet, and let him know the problem.
I have over 30 years had 2 cats that I had to put down because they could not be trained. But about 10 cats that were Born trained so to speak. Just provide the clean box of litter right were it can be found!
make something to hold a litter box inside a child’s potty chair show the cat where it is
lolololol
just kidding
he will go there naturally
As far as I know you don’t really need to train your cat. They are natraully inclined to use the litter cause its like sand. If your having a problem with your cat going to the bathroom in potted plants then just put some pine cones around the plant on the dirt and that should stop that.
Most cats take readily to a litter box. Just remember to keep it clean and find a litter the cat likes and stick with it. Also, remember that your cat might like a little privacy, so you might put it out of high traffic.
some cat have litter preferences. If you are having trouble with him using the litter box even after showing him the box and scratching his paw in it try a new litter. Clumping litter is usually very fine like sand where as cheaper not clumping kind in more like little rocks. I have had cats that strickly like the clumping sand and other who could care less.
All you have to do is put him in the litter box and hold his paw and scrape at the litter with it after he eats. After he does his business, let him get out himself so he can explore and know where it is. He will get the idea in just one or two times of this. If you are still worried, you can confine him to a small room with flooring that’s easy to clean (kitchen or bathroom) with just water, food, a bed, and the litter box when you are not at home. That’s how their mother teaches them in the wild and they actually like to have something that they can bury their waste in. I have an eight week old kitten and he got it in just one try. I don’t know how old your cat/kitten is, but they say you can start potty training them at 4 weeks of age and if they are younger than that (like if you found or rescued yours and he/she was without a mother) you may still have to stimulate him/her. This is when you gently rub their anus or tummy with a rag or cotton swab. In the wild, their mother does this after feeding until about 4 weeks of age. Good luck and I hope this helps you!
I assume you mean teaching the cat to use a toilet, rather than a litterbox. The kitten’s mother will teach him or her how to use a litterbox. As for the toilet, you start by putting the litterbox next to the toilet. Then a few days later you raise the litterbox a few inches with a stack of newspapers or magazines. Keep raising it every few days until it is the same height as the toilet seat. Then either get a Kitty Whiz plastic kitty toilet-training thingy (it goes inside the toilet under the seat inside the toilet bowl, or you can use a metal mixing bowl that’s the right size. You put litter inside that and leave the lid up so the cat can use the litter that is inside the toilet. People will have to take the bowl or Kitty Whiz out in order to use the toilet themselves, then put it back in. Then after a few days you reduce the amount of litter you put in. Every few days you reduce it some more – or in the case of the Kitty Whiz thingy, eventually you cut out a hole in the middle of the thing. The cat will get used to having less and less litter to scratch at, and then get used to having no litter, and the water of the toilet, and then it will be all toilet trained. I tried it, didn’t work out with my cats. But some people are successful with it.
just put ur cat in the litter box get someone to demenstrate it it really works.
Its not very hard to do that, as seen from some videos.
