How to Train Your Cat - Kittens to Cats

Training your kitten is actually about growing it mature and become rather a trained cat from a juvenile kitten. Training your cat on various things is fun as well as rewarding for you in the long run. It helps you to make into what you dream of it to be and get rid of its wild or bad behaviors which as a matter of fact are natural to all animals. The process of training also provides you with a number of opportunities to learn and observe your cat behaviors.

If you are keen and sharp observer, training your cat can become much easier for you. You can observe its various behaviors and then come up with an innovative plan of action to train it accordingly. What you must always preserve in your mind is to be patient. Every cat is an individual; it has its own habits, abilities and behavior. The conventional training may not always prove to be effective owing to this factor on all cats. You are required to deal with it individually and bring in some innovation when it comes to training it in various respects.

Like all individuals, your cat may learn a few things quickly and may struggle with some. In this case, you should not feel frustrated and try alternates. Say if you expose food to eat whenever it feels like, you may have to change this routine. If you enforce a feeding schedule, it will benefit you in two respects. One, it will enhance the reward-value of the food. Secondly, it will also build some sense of time and routine into your cat's life.

In case if you use food as a part of training and taming, you must schedule the training sessions before every meal. Like all animals, your cat will respond best when hungry and craving for food.
To train your cat, it is advisable to go slowly and steadily and not to overburden it. Start by easier things and then slowly move to the difficult ones. You must also keep in mind that cats do not have a very long attention span and tend to lose interest quickly. For this reason, the best mode of training is to observe short intervals.

Introducing younger kittens to a older litter?
I am a foster mom so all cats/kittens will be spayed. But, my older kittens with a great mom are 4 weeks old. My younger kittens with a feral mom are 10 days old, just opened their eyes. Already I can see a difference between the response of the kittens when I hold them. Vet says that feral mom won't make a difference. Just get the kittens use to mom Shelter says, wean the kittens as soon as you can and take them away from mom before she can introduce feral behavior. With that information, when should I introduce the younger kittens to the older litter with a domesticated mom. Feral mom growls and hisses whenever I am in the room. There is no hope of domesticating her. I just want her to feed and get the kittens to pee and poo on their own. So I am taking the kittens out 2 at a time (there are 4) and introducing them to humans away from the feral mom. I will be sure they are able to eat and pee by themselves before I "capture" mom and send her off for spaying and becoming a barn cat. But I want the 4 kittens to have a more comfortable forever home so I want them around humans and domesticated cats. So when should I introduce the young kittens to the new litter and with the new (domesticate mom) when I pick up the kittens from the feral mom it is with gloves and a threat of bites. She is that mean. I understand that she is protecting her babies, but she is that way when no babies were around. I had to take her to the vet for an injection and 2 people were bitten in the process. I understand that you don't want to mix litters, but I have a very mean feral cat that is teaching her kittens not to adapt to humans. I want the growth and development for the younger kittens to learn from the older domesticated kittens. I will take away the feral mom as soon as I am sure that the kittens can eat and pee and poo on their own. I am talking about socialization. I was thinking about 4 weeks also. I know they are too young now, but I am amazed at the difference of the feral kittens versus the domestic kittens so I don't want to wait too long and miss the chance to save these younger kittens. I will introduce by smells first and will increase my human time with the ferals but there really is a difference.

Our kitten is crying all the time& pawing the walls!?
Wondering if anyone can help with our 1 yr old male kitten! First off - yes we have gone to a vet, and there is nothing medically wrong. & Second -yes he is fixed. Long story as short as i can make it... We fostered 3 kittens back in May last year. We did this because our 3yr old Shih Tzu is a cat-aholic (in a good way!) and we knew he would enjoy the playtime. He bonded really strongly with one of the 3 so we decided to adopt him. He was always vocal at feeding times, or when he wanted you. However his siblings were adopted and shortly after he was vocalizing NON STOP!! I mean HOURS at a time. We decided to get him another play mate to maybe help calm him down. We adopted a 3mos old female and they got along right away! Within 24hrs they were snuggling up on one an other and his vocalizing subsided.... somewhat... still not completely... mostly just at night and morning was when he was most vocal. However within the last two weeks again he has become ANNOYINGLY vocal again. We have two different scratch posts, one medium tree, and one LARGE cat tree.... he has numerous toys... he wrestles with his feline sister and dog brother... and one min later he is up again crying!! We engage him with play sticks, balls... same thing... he plays for a min, and then is off crying again...As if this wasn't annoying enough he has now started pawing at the walls, doors... even my tall curio cabinet!! never in the same place!! he NEVER uses his nails, so we don't think it's a stress thing... I am at my wits end,and at a lose for what to do!! i have never experienced a cat/kitten like this!! ANY ADVICE?!
