Cat Behaviors Can Be Treated And Solved

If you are looking for a fairly laid-back animal that you can call your friend, you should consider adopting a cat or kitten. Cats are some of the best pets to own because they are independent, smart, inexpensive, and require very little maintenance. Occasionally a cat will need to be trained to correct bad cat behaviors, but in most cases, cats are smart enough to figure things out for themselves.

Examples of cat behaviors that owners may need to seek help for are: spraying on furniture, clawing and pouncing. Some cats are intentionally aggressive and others just don't know any better. A cat may act rough, but is really just attempting to play. Still, these cat behaviors should be looked into and if possible, corrected, so as not to create further problems.

Sometimes your cat's behavior may appear to be aggressive or hostile and this might be because the cat had been mistreated by previous owners or rescued from neglect. If a cat has been badly treated in the past, abandoned, or is simply not used to human contact and affection then he or she may be afraid of people. The most important way to establish a good relationship with your cat is to show that you are trustworthy.

If you give you cat the time and space to explore on its own, it will soon understand that you can be trusted. You need to show your cat a lot of care and patience. Sometimes this positive input can help to get rid of unwanted cat behaviors, such as aggression. All cats need space, especially kittens, which like lots of room to play. Adult cats also like to have a large area as if they feel trapped they may become aggressive.

If your cat seems to be having problems at home, you can consult with a cat vet to try and determine the cause of the problem. Then, once you know what the root of the problem is, you can begin developing a strategy on how to fix that problem. Not every cat is the same. Some are lazy and lethargic. Others are jumpy and full of energy. What works for one cat doesn't always work for another, so it is important to talk to your cat vet to come up with an appropriate plan for your individual pet.

It is important to remember that every problem can be solved, given enough time. You should never give up on an animal or decide not to keep them just because it is taking a while to resolve behavioral issues.
