How to discipline a misbehaving cat
The most important thing is to associate bad feelings with what they are doing. Let them remember that they will feel bad when they behave badly. Here are 4 common ways to discipline cats.
1. Use encouraging discipline
When the cat goes to scratch the sofa to exercise his paws, he should be given a cat scratching board at this time. Cats may not be accustomed to using the cat's claw board at first. At this time, you can place catnip on the cat's claw board. When the cat starts to use the cat's claw board, please reward them with a snack and a toy.
2. Warning by clapping hands
When the cat behaves badly, you can clap your hands suddenly. This sudden, loud noise from clapping hands can make cats feel uneasy and force them to stop.
3. Make a sound
Cats need to know that biting is bad, even as a joke. Kittens will bite your fingers naturally, but every time it happens, you'd better let them know that you don’t like this behavior, and stop playing and stay away from them.
4. Use smells that cats don't like
When the cat likes to go to the trash can or cabinet, you can spray some red pepper water and other sprays on these places, and you can put some catnip where you want the cat to go. Remember not to spray directly at the cat, otherwise they will only connect you with these sprays and reduce the trust between you.
