Holiday training your cat

With all the holiday’s coming up soon, there is still time to
get your cat trained for the holidays. You will want to search
out tips on saving the tree and table for the holidays, with
your cat around.

One thing you can start with is getting the cat some items that
they would be able to play with that would represent the
holidays. Cats like flashing lights and sparkly things. This you
may want to stay away from with your decorations so there is no
problem.

Once you get some items for the cat, start to play with them
with your cat so that they will be interested more in the toys
that you gave them, then one ones that you are putting up. When
you are putting yours up make sure the cat has their around to
play with. This will be good as if the cat does try to play with
the decorations you can tell them no in a stern voice, and show
them the ones that they are able to play with.

The family and you should be at all tease the cat with the
decorations. This will only make them think that it is fun and
games, and then the training will be over. A good idea to use is
the clicker trainer, this way if you see them playing with the
items you can click, and they should stop. This also would be a
great time to look for holiday presents and treats for the cat.
Make sure you remember your cat at the holidays, as they are
your friend and they like presents too.

A nice blanket, special pillow, even catnip plant would be just
some things to mention for the present. New treat for the
training would be another great idea when looking for the
perfect gift for the cat. A new scathing post or one that maybe
added on to the other one that they might have to make it better
and bigger. A new leash or harness would be another great item,
or something that they may not have. You can search the internet
at the different pet sites for new and different items to get
ideas for your pet. Make sure you wrap the item to put under the
tree for Christmas, as the cat will have fun with the paper and
the new gift.

With the tree, if you get a real tree make sure, there is plenty
of water in the base, and you will want to cover it as good as
you can so that the cat does not think they can drink that. Make
sure the presents are not one that you want open so that incase
the cat decides it is play time and tears them open. Decorations
should not be down on the bottom of the tree. This will only
temp your cat to play with the decorations.

One the fireplace mantel you will want to make sure the items
are in place so that if your cat is a climber that they are
unable to get maybe a sock to get up on the mantel or other
items that maybe hanging from the mantel. Cat love to jump and
climb with this would be fun for your cat.

Cats do not like having the nails and paws caught in lose
fabric. Getting some netting and using around some of the
decoration that maybe be temping the cat could help you out.
Make nice netting bows large enough for the tree around the
bottom this way the cat will stay away. Gather the netting and
put around decorations that the cat may want play with.

Holidays are fun for both the family and your cat. Make sure
your cat is included in activities around the holiday and not
forgotten. They will enjoy it as much as you do. Not including
them may cause damage to the holidays and for the cat, feeling
left out. Have a great holiday, and don’t forget to get a gift
for your friend , your cat
