How to Train Your Cat to Recognize You

Imagine the joy of having someone at the door eagerly waiting for you, after you come back from work? Feels amazing, isn't it? Unfortunately, with humans this feeling dies down after a few years when the person waiting at home might get a bit accustomed to your timely arrival. It is not so with the pets, fortunately! Year after year, they will show the same enthusiasm when they find you coming home after a hard day's work. And that moment of joy is certainly enough to spruce you up!


Dogs jump and wag their tail to show their delight but in case of cats, they will come to you and lazily stick to you and more often wrap their tail around your leg! That is the way they show their joy and share their happiness. Cats are also known to have a short memory. In case you're not that active with your cat, they might even laze around the house looking confused with the people around it! Worst still, it might not be waiting for you to come back home.


Appropriate Training


The idea is to train your cat such that it recognizes your voice and sounds of the family members. The training ideally starts from a young age; naturally the older your pet member is the closer and the more comfortable will it be in your company. The appropriate word for this type of training would be 'reinforcement'. You have to condition your cat to have a positive reinforcement with you and your family. The best thing that could instill confidence in the cat could be hugs which you give it.


Interestingly, irrespective of the type of animal, it is the hug which makes one feel really special and close to your heart. Animals sense this feeling pretty well. In case you're not feeling like giving your feline mate a hug, don't fake it. It will understand your predicament and might very well go against your cat conditioning training!


Animals can sense the 'tone' in your voice. They will tell it when you're angry from when you're not. Calling your kitty by its name and sweetly is a great reinforcement exercise. With suitable voice modulations and hand movements, you can teach your kitty what to expect from its master. One of the fastest ways of sound-training would be to pat or scratch its back while you talk to it. It may seem to be lazily enjoying the 'treat' but it is actually all ears to what you're saying. Kittens learn faster than their adult counterparts.


Look at Them


As is taught in personality development classes, eye contact holds true even for pets as well! When you talk to your kitty lovingly, make it a point to look at it, while you're talking. This will help them reinforce and re-instill their faith and confidence in you. It shows them that their master actually cares for them. And never appear to have a frowned look; a pleasant look and calming eyes will teach them faster and train them better!

Wireless Cat Fences Will Help to Train Your Cat

Are you having trouble controlling your cat's behavior? Is your pet destroying all of the furniture in your home, one claw mark at a time? Do you wish there was a way that you could stop them from scratching up all of your belongings, or better yet keep them out of certain rooms all together? Cats are very independent pets and it can be virtually impossible to stop them from doing something that they really want to do. Unfortunately for many cat people, myself included, this usually involves either making a mess or destroying expensive pieces of furniture.


I tried every single teaching technique I could get my hands on to teach my cat to stop scratching all of my furnishings. It seems that cats just don't want to learn. They want to do what they want to do and there isn't much you can do to stop them. Finally, just when I had almost given up, I came across a remarkable device called a wireless indoor cat fence. With the use of this simple device I was able to easily keep my cat away from certain parts of my house. These cat training tools are a breeze to setup and work immediately. There is no work needed on your part. All that you have to do is do the initial setup and the wireless cat fence will do the rest.


These training tools work by simply delivering a harmless correction each time your pet decides to try and go somewhere that they are not allowed. Within a few hours my cat learned exactly where he was allowed and where he was not.
