So what is the answer Cat Training or not?

Well that’s very true, it’s the owner that
needs to be trained. They need to
know how to understand and control their cat.

Stop The Blood Sport.

Cats are very active and if kept caged in
they don’t get enough exercise. So obviously when you present
them with a means to vent that energy they take it with all four paws and you bleed.

This enthusiasm can be handled in a safer manner.

Begin by having a set time that you are going
to help your cat drain this energy and not your blood. If you can keep you cat busy
for fifteen minutes (sometimes more, sometimes less), then there is a good chance when the session
is up so will the cats energy be up.
During this session use things that the cat likes to chase and catch.

For example a squeaky toy attached to a string that you can pull around or attach
it with elastic and elevate the other end of the elastic. When the cat tugs
on the toy the elastic gives it that movement that it is trying to escape.

Using your hand or any part of your body to amuse the cat will only reinforce
the cats will to make you bleed whenever you move and normally without warning.
You must say when the play begins and the cat will tell you when it’s had enough.

King of the castle

It’s hard to tell when cats are fighting. What looks like a fight could be playful ambush.
A quick way to see if it’s a fight or play is to see if they are hurting each other.

If bits of fur and blood are flying it’s a fight.
When two cats are challenging for ”Top cat”,
there is a lot of meowing and hair raising and then one cat will back down. If there isn’t a back down,
it moves into the next phase. The full fight is not very long. The weaker cat will soon make a run for it.
If it is play and both the cats are yours, put a bell around its neck so that it cannot ambush the other cat.

Cutting the nails of a cat sort of helps but then so does pulling its teeth.
Unless the nails are simply too long I wouldn’t cut them.
If they do need cutting, your vet will be able to help you.

Scratch Post

This is another problem that calls for miss direction. Try redirecting the cat’s
attention to something they are allowed to scratch, like a scratch post.
As soon as they show signs of warming up to scratch, place them in front of the scratch pole.
When they finished scratching reward them.

To stop them scratching the furniture, place a sticky pad on that area, they find this unpleasant and will move.
This is when you can present the post and let them have the pleasure of shredding it.

Marking their area
The reason a cat sprays is to mark it area. Unfortunately for us this smell
isn’t pleasant. The easiest way to stop the cat from spraying is by having them spayed or neutered.
This will make them less territorial and therefore have no purpose to spray.
Ask your vet for advice before any drastic measures are taken to stop spraying.

If they have sprayed, bi-carb and water will help remove the smell and if you can put up with the smell of raw onion this also helps.

Cat problems take time to handle and unless you know your cat well, you going to have difficulty even getting close to it.

Sometimes, it can be very helpful to ask a third party like your vet for some help and advice.

So if you can do this to cats.
But what is the answer to Kitten Training or not?

Every cat owner may have a story about how they met their cats, I could listen to those stories for all day, but since now you are reading my article, I’d share with you mine

I met my first cat, Sasha in early 2009, it was a cold windy afternoon when I was on my way to check if there’s enough food and water for those homeless cats in our neighborhood. Sasha ran into my sight immediately when I arrived at the ‘feeding area’, unlike most other homeless cats here who were very afraid of strangers, Sasha almost acted like he was ‘begging’ me to pet him, and he even jumped onto my thighs when I sat down to put cat food and water into those bowls. I had never seen a homeless cat looked similar to Sasha in this area before, so I guessed he might be a wandering through the neighborhood to look for food, and if possible, a new owner.

I didn’t plan to adopt a homeless cat at that moment at all since my mom was not a cat person - she likes pets, but doesn’t want to have one at home.But when I was on my way home, Sasha followed me all the way as if he didn’t want to lose this chance, and later when I opened the front door of our apartment’s, Sasha ran into the building nearly without any hesitation. I gave mom a call, asking her if we could let Sasha stay. I was not expecting a ‘yes’ actually, but to my surprise, mom said that at once - maybe Sasha was really meant to be our cat!

However, this cute angel disappeared in a morning 4 months later, he ran away through the window in our kitchen. We kept on searching for him for months but couldn’t even get a clue. It was definitely heartbreaking to me and until now I still miss this cat I used to call him ‘my son’, and I feel terribly sorry to him that I’m not able to protect him for his while life. I wish Sasha has found a new and kindhearted owner to give him another warm and safe family.

Two months after Sasha’s missing, mom’s friend gave us a call from a resort located in the countryside, and told us she’s sending us a new kitten. She found this kitten around the kitchen of the resort when she was vocationing there, there were a group of homeless cats and kittens in the resort, the staffs were nice to them but they also hoped their guests could find reliable owners for those poor creatures.

The new kitten was a girl, I named her with ‘Masha’ as I still missed my beloved Sasha. Masha was about 2 months old when she joined us, much different with Sasha, she was totally an over-energetic kid, she simply knew everything about how to make a mess in the house. It took me a long time to get used to this naughty country girl, but luckily, she turned to be a lady bit by bit as she’s grown up, and we ‘arranged’ the first ever date for her in the early 2010. The groom is a 2yo male cat of our neighbor’s. The date went on well(it seemed so), however we were not sure if Masha was pregnant.

7 days after Masha’s date, we moved to a new apartment near to our old neighborhood. At the very next day when we went back to the old house to collect our last stuffs, I found a kitten hidden in a wooden box in the garden in front of our building. That wooden box was completely abandon and despite we have many homeless cats here, I had never seen any of them staying in the box, hence I thought that kitten must be very frightened and had nowhere to hide.

That tiny kitten ran over at once when she saw me approaching the box, the ground was still covered by thick snow, and when I held this kitten in my arms, she simply could stop shaking due to cold. That condition was very much similar to how I met Sasha, so I asked my parents if we could let this kitten stay as well, since we’ve moved to the new apartment with a larger living room, we were capable of having more than one cat at home. Dad and mom were still immerged in the joys of moving to new house, so they approved immediately! lol They were not sure if Masha’s pregnant, so if she’s not, it would be nice to bring her a new friend to spend their rest lifetimes together.

The new kitten was also a girl, I named her ‘Julia’ because its pronunciation is similar with ‘pearl’ in Chinese. She was quite nervous at first when meeting Masha, although the old-sister was very friendly to her. However, after about one week getting along with each other, these two girls became really close and seemed enjoying our new apartment a lot.

Read Part 1 here.

About 3 weeks after the move, it was obvious that Masha was PREGNANT! Expecting baby kittens was indescribably exciting, lots of things to study: how to take care of pregnant cat, how to make ‘delivery room’ for mother-to-be, how to judge the babies are coming, how to deal with the emergency during the delivery and so on; and I almost couldn’t stop watching Masha slowly walking in the house with her lovely, large belly! lol However, we did worry that Julia would be a factor during Masha’s delivery, but since we would never send Julia away, the only thing we could do was to hope that she wouldn’t cause any trouble.

Julia remained quiet and nice as usual when the big moment’s finally came, but the delivery itself was unexpectedly difficult, we took Masha to the vet at the end to solve the dystocia, and managed to save her and four of her six babies. I cried when we knew that the two poor babies were gone, but it made us more determined to take care of the rest four babies as well as Masha with enough loves.

All the four kittens are boys, I named them with Paso, Doble, Tango and Waltz - my favorite dances of Dancing With The Stars Season10 by Evan Lysacek With huge pleasure, it seemed like Julia liked those young boys as much as we do, and Masha didn’t mind she approaching her babies at all! These six cats together really made the most beautiful picture of the world.

However, when the kittens were five months old, Paso was diagnosed as peritonitis and the doctors from the best animal hospital said there’s no way to cure this disease. We tried to treat Paso with medicines for two days, but he didn’t manage to survive at the end. It was a tragical lost to me and my parents and it sill brings tears to my eyes every time I think of Paso. Right after Paso’s death, dad decided to keep all the 3 kittens as well as Masha and Julia with us for ever(we planned to find new homes for the kittens at first since it’s not easy to handle all of them), so that Paso could always find all of them at once when he’s looking at us from heaven.

Now Tango, Doble and Waltz are all 1-year-old and healthy, Masha and Julia are pretty as always and living their lives like ladies. However, Julia is not so close to the young cats as she used to be when they were kittens, probably because she has figured out that they are kids no more so as a lady she should keep a distance from them. lol But anyway, they still enjoy sleeping on my bed with their heads next to each other, and they still make the most beautiful picture in the world in my eyes.

Cat climbing towers are the lounging space problem solver for every fussy domesticated feline.

Every person who has ever owned a cat will agree that lounging around is what the animal does best. Pet cats are notorious for doing only that. While domesticated felines can said to be the connoisseurs of comfort, they will only take over the best seat in the house, if they do not have a rest, play and exercise area of their own.

Most house pet cat owners, who are not ok with their pets occupying the household furniture will advocate the provision of an acceptable alternative to our feline wards with equally comfortable cat furniture,and more specifically cat climbing towers.

Cat climbing towers are designed and manufactured with the feline animals’ likes and dislikes in mind.

Since cat furniture designers, take the trouble to research the habits of the feline animal in its natural habitat, they know that gravitating to the highest area it could find, is its natural instinct. In their wild natural surroundings, cats perch themselves on the highest branches of the trees they climb, while they stalk their prey.

Cat climbing towers provides the domesticated feline with perches at various levels, allowing it to find the perch that would give it the best view in the house.

All quality cat climbing towers have sisal rope or sisal material covered scratching surfaces and scratching posts built into their design, offering your cats their preferred way to satisfy their urge to scratch.

Your house, living room, or apartment may not be spacious enough for the seven foot tall, floor to ceiling high, type of cat climbing towers, but you will be able to find smaller ones that offer your cats more than just one comfortable area for lounging and perching.

Cat owners dwelling in small apartments will be able to find that the smaller cat climbing towers have been manufactured for those who have very little space in mind. All smaller units are covered in plush fabric, have at least one condo and one dangling toy. They would keep your cat active, comfortable, cozy and happy for long periods of time.

In conclusion, while modern cat furniture is absolutely important for the health of your cat cat climbing towers entice them to play and be active.

If you discover that your window screens, chairs and rugs are looking like they are ravaged, your kitty is probably the culprit. Cats can cause damage to furnishings and can destroy your beautiful home with their sharp claws. So how can you solve this problem? To nip the problem in the bid, you must understand why she scratches in the first place.

Historically, cats were deadly predators who relied on their sharp claws to climb up trees and jump on their preys. [spin]But, today, cats have become domesticated creatures and don’t need to hunt anymore. But since old instincts never dies, so they still sharpen their claws.

Also, you need to understand that felines need to scratch to release some innate energy. Scratching is also a cat’s way of cutting her nails, since it removes the old outer part of her claws. Scratching releases special scents from the glands in the cats’ paws to help them mark that spot as theirs.

If you have had enough of your cat’s frequent scratchings, you have a choice to de claw her. However, this is an expensive and unnecessary surgery and you may want to try some alternatives instead.

Here are some solutions to prevent cat scratching

1. Provide your feline friend with scratching pads or posts.

Scratching pads are made for cats to scratch so instead of scratching on your furniture , they scratch on these pads or posts. You can get them or if you prefer, you can also make your own simple scratching post. You can do this by using a 2 foot high section of a 4 by 4, a 2 foot by 2 foot piece of heavy plywood plus a carpet remnant.

Once you have a scratching post or pad for your furry friend , make sure that you place it right next to her favorite piece of furniture. Observe her for a while. Once she get used to scratching the post, you can move it a bit further from the furniture. But you must take care to do so only gradually.

2. Use a pet repellent spray on the furniture

If your kitty still scratches away your furnishings despite having her own scratching pad or post, then you can resort to a pet repellent spray such as Bitter Apple. Of course, take care to test the spray on a hidden part of the upholstery first in order to be sure it doesn’t discolor the fabric of your furniture.

A good way not to spoil your furniture by spraying is by covering it with aluminum foil or tape that is placed sticky side up. Your cat will be repelled and should willingly turn to her scratching post instead.

3. De clawing

This is the option of last resort. If your kitty still insists on scratching, de clawing may be the only option left. As long as she does not leave the house, this should be a safe option. However, de clawing is a painful and risky surgery so think more than twice on this one.

Fleas and ticks may be rather tiny, but that does not mean that they do not pose a threat to your cat. Tapeworms can travel in a flea’s bloodstream and their incessant drawing of blood can cause anemia, a condition especially dangerous to kittens. Ticks have become synonymous with Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. If left unchecked, these small insects become problematic, and it is therefore important to keep your cat free from ticks and fleas.

As the old adage goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and it applies to this situation quite nicely. Tall grass and deep brush are breeding grounds for ticks and fleas, so cut down this growth around your property. Cats like to roam, so the less overgrowth they encounter, the better. If you have a larger yard, a fence can be effective at keeping your cat from venturing off of your property and getting into vegetation that is rife with ticks and fleas.

Thanks to medical advancements, there are several spot on treatments that can be applied to your pet that have been shown to kill 98% to even 100% of the ticks and fleas that your cat comes across. These spot on treatments are liquids that are applied between the shoulders of your cat once a month. As long as you remember to apply the medication monthly, you stand a strong chance of stopping an infestation before it starts. Just mark your calendar or set a reminder on your cell phone. Flea collars are also helpful but have limited efficacy when used alone; however, when employed in conjunction with spot on treatments, they add a nice extra layer of protection.

Sometimes, regardless of the precautions you take, ticks and fleas get through your defenses. Not only do they make your cat itch and present potential health issues, they can infest the home as well. It may not be your cat’s favorite thing in the world, but a warm bath complete with a medicated shampoo scrubbing is a highly effective treatment. Not only do certain dips and sprays do a fine job as well, but they can be used to rid your carpet and bedding of ticks and fleas too.

As long as you are dedicated and employ preventive measures, you can keep ticks and fleas off of your cat. Try to keep him or her out of dense thickets and apply liquid treatments once a month. Following some easy steps can solve a difficult problem.
