Kitty Querries and Responses on Cat Training and Cat Behavior
Q: Can cats be trained?
A: Yes, training a cat is not as challenging as many folks assume it is. Kitties most likely are not as responsive to training as Rover or Spot are but they are trainable. Treats presented as positive reinforcement is most likely the most certain procedure to train a cat.
Q: Why and how do happy cats purr?
A: Adult cats purr because they are happy and contented and to play on the emotions of humans — who can resist a purring cat? Kittens purr in answer to their mother cat’s purr to assist in bonding them. It is mostly thought that the purring is a vibration of the larynx as air is pushed though it. It is also believed that purring is a voluntary action.
Q: What is the reason some people are allergic to cats?
A: Cat allergies are caused by the proteins in cat dander coming from the cat’s saliva. The dander dries and becomes airborne. People with cat allergies have a reaction because their immune system is attempting to attack the enemy protein and creates histamines.
Q: How do you change bad cat behavior like clawing?
A: The best way to halt bad cat behavior is the same way the mother cat controls an errant kitten. This is by scuffing the cat. You firmly but gently grasp the cat by the scruff of the neck and hold it down until it calms down. You need to do this at the time of the undesirable behavior.
Q: How do you litter train a cat?
A: You really shouldn’t have to do any training for a cat to make use of a litter box, but if your adult cat has started to avoid the litter box you need to determine the cause. The cat may have a urinary tract infection in which case you need to go to the veterinarian. If it is just too dirty you need to keep it cleaner. If you have started using litter you may have to change back or sprinkle a little catnip in the litter to attract the cat to the new litter.
Q: How do you keep cats off the kitchen counter?
A: This is the most asked about cat behavior issues and can be a difficult one. Cats like elevated perches and they may find food or food smells on tables and counters. It is best to keep the counters clean and to use something like foil or double sided tape to keep cats off the counters.
