House train your cat

Is your house your house or is your cat’s house?

Is your cat climbing the curtains, chewing cords, digging in the
garbage, jumping on counters or tables, ripping the carpet or
rugs,

Here are some tips for training your cat in the house.

Curtains and drapes look great to your cat they can climb them
and use them for chewing and shedding. Using tension rods when
possible is great. When your cat tries to climb or scratch, they
will come down and cause noise to your cat that will result in
soon he will not want any part of it. For drapes that hand on
rods that are in the wall, take thread and thread them on the
rod. This will result in falling down when your cat tries to
climb on them. After the cat has got the idea that, they will
fall after a few times he will leave them alone. In addition,
you will be able to put them back on the rod.

Vertical blinds are great for cats. Blinds usually made of
plastic, which the cat will not be able to climb. With that, he
will be able to move a slat on the blind and view the outside
world with out tearing down the whole thing. Horizontal blinds
are the greats to put up.

Chewing cords or other items: by putting distasteful substance
on the item will help with your cat not to want to chew on it
again. Cayenne pepper, biter apple, orange, nail polish orange
peels lemon peels and you can get different sprays and creams at
the pet store also to help with the chewing. In hardware and do,
it your self-center there is molding that comes just for putting
wires in. Tape such as duct tape, which can get messy or
Gaffer’s tape is a tape in many colors and is not messy to use.
Make sure, when putting the substance on the item that your cat
is chewing on will not ruin it for you.

What is in the garbage that your cat has to dig for? Make sure
that your cat is on a good schedule for eating and this will
help with digging. The garbage can should have a firm tight lid
on it. Do not use the open swing type garbage cans. A good one
would be one that you have to lift off the top or one that you
have to use your foot to open. Place the garbage can out of
site, in a pantry or under the sink a place where the cat is
unable to get to the garbage. If your cat is tipping the garbage
can over put something heavy enough so that they are unable to
tip it over

Cats hate loud noises and surprises make sure that you leave on
the counter or item that the cat is jumping on some things that
will do this for you. Like odd utensils, empty aluminum cans on
the edge with maybe pennies in them. Use foil paper, cats do not
like the touch or the noise of the paper. Use regular
dishwashing soap to leave on the counter, with it being sticky
and slippery will keep the cat away. Never leave anything that a
cat would want to get to on the counters.

Carpet ripping is not a great thing and can be very costly. A
scratching pole cost a lot less than replacing carpeting or
rugs. Scratching pole come with rug on it to help with his
wanting to scratch the carpet. Put plastic runner down in the
areas that the cat has started to scratch. Find some type of
chemical or spray to use on the carpet to help with getting the
cats scent off the carpet. Do not use fabric spray scent cats
love the smell and will attracted to that area.

This is your house and not your cats; you share it, with your
cat. Your cat can have a place in the home. Taking care of a cat
is great for both you and your cat. Have a safe and happy
environment for your cat. Give your cat a hug today.
