Cat Training Problems - Learn to Solve Them

By Nonye Adeyemo
The first key to identifying cat training problems is to find out the cause. You have to ask yourself how did it start before you can be able to resolve them. Cats are extremely sensitive, so you have to figure out what exactly they are having problems with. Sometimes they have a hard time adjusting to new experiences so you have to give them time and be very patient.

The second key is to figure out exactly how healthy is your cat. A lot of training problems could be related to health issues. It is important to schedule regular checkups with your local veterinarian. This helps you to know if your cats behavioral problems are related to health. Since animals can't talk, they can't tell you what is really going on with them or how they feel therefore it is very important to continually assess your cat for mood changes which could actually be health related.

The third key is to try to figure out what the surrounding circumstances where behind your cat's change in behavior. You must think back to what might have happened to cause such a dramatic change. Since cats are such delicate creatures, such things as having new people around it or being in a different environment can have a great impact on a cat's behavior. Know your cat so you can be able to identify even the subtle changes.

The fourth key is being able to detect if there is a quarrel between your cat and other animals. Just like humans, animals have disagreements that might affect their moods. If you happen to have other pets living with you along with your cat, there is bound to be differences in opinions every once in a while so you have to be aware of this and try as much as you can to give each one its special attention so that there wouldn't be too much jealousy or rivalry between your pets.

When people are able to detect changes in their cat's behavior, and analyze the circumstances around it they will be better able to train their cats.
