In today's society, more and more animal lovers and enthusiasts take on the role of being a responsible cat owner and thereby are bound to encounter a number of cat behavior problems along the way. This can perhaps be attributed to the fact that while cats are known to be one of the cuddliest, friendliest, most witty and affectionate domesticated pets out there, cats are also very temperamental, sneaky and stubborn in their inherent ways and behavior.
These cat behavior problems manifest because despite the fact that they really are pets, they still possess their own minds and have their own feelings. These cat behavior problems are usually triggered because of your cat抯 usual habits or an immediate event that your pet dislikes. Here are some usual cat behavior problems and what to do with it.
Aggression- This is the one of the most frequent cat behavior problems a cat owner will encounter. This is when the cat becomes too aggressive on other cats, animals or even people. They may display these aggressive tendencies by intimidating them. This happens when a cat gets really stressed out or gets frustrated over something. Sometimes this causes damages in home furniture and upholstery..?
Fortunately, cat behavior problems such as this can be solved by giving your cat some proper training. You can train your cat on how to deal with aggression by diverting it to other things or activities. You can give your cat things to play with such as a ball or a yarn. You can also purchase a scratching post for it to get its claw on. This method will surely relieve your cat抯 stress levels and will contribute in dispersing excess energy and tension..?
Shyness- A cat may feel shyness or awkwardness when in the presence of strangers or even your friends that it does not know. This is because the cat does not feel comfortable on things that it isn抰 familiar with. With proper training and familiarization, you can help your cat get over his or her inhibitions.
Other common cat behavior problems may include your cat having difficulty using the litter box or litter pan properly. In many cases, this may be due to the fact that you are failing to change the kitty litter regularly. Remember that problems with your feline companion that have to do with urination and bowel movement usually take place when your cat finds it difficult to consider his or her litter pan sanitary. It is, therefore, your duty as cat owner to make at least two changes of kitty litter every day. In this way, your cat's behavioral problems involving litter box habits can more easily be avoided.?
The above mentioned cat behavioral problems are only some of the ones any cat owner is bound to encounter, and the ways cited through which said problems can be countered may or may not be successful.?It is important to remember that all cat behavioral problems are relative and should be handled on a case to case basis. Not all cats are the same and this goes for the treatment of their cat behavior problems also.
