It being a part of their hygiene, cats may end up scratching and marking your furniture. This may result in frustration for the owner's part. If you want to maintain the peace and order of your household, start training your cats today. It is possible to train a cat but it will take some time. Patience, time and care are the ingredients to a properly trained cat. You can use these few cat training tips at home.

Restoring your home's peace and order can be fully achieved with the first cat training tip, which is teaching your cat to use the litter box. Start training your cats early on as kittens. Provide a litter box for your pet near or inside your bathroom. Bring the cats to the litter box after meals, after play time and after nap time. Watch over them until they finish doing their business. Be ready and quick to giving rewards to your pet. Remember to praise them when they use the litter box. You may have to initially place them inside the litter box on the first few days of training. Allow them to get familiarized with the litter box and its location. Keep encouraging your cat to visit the litter box.

If your cat scratches furniture, people or anything that gets in the way then the next cat training tip is for you. Having scratched furniture isnt a nice site to see in the homes of cat owners. The worst case of cat scratching will be seen on you. Control this behavior with regular training. Provide a scratching post for your cat and position it near the favorite object to scratch. When you see that your cat is about to start scratching the object, gently pick it up and place it in front of the scratching post. To lure it away from its current favorite object to scratch, place a scratching post right beside it. Never punish your cat by spanking since this will only keep them away from you. Use products with strong scents that kitties hate on your furnitures to keep them away from it. This will also help your cat to be familiar with the right places to scratch and do its business to. Shop for more interesting cat toys that won't easily bore your cat.

As difficult as it may seem, training your cats can be very rewarding in the end.
