Purchasing a new pet cat can be a wonderful experience, yet, it can also be a little overwhelming and worrying, too, especially if you have other animals!

Introducing Your New Pet into Your Home

* When to introduce The Cat

It takes time and if you do not introduce the cat into the home with plenty of time, you could face daily conflicts for a long period of time! So just how is it possible to bring a new cat home and not introduce it to the rest of your pets?

How to Introduce the Cat

As well as keeping the new cat in a separate room, it is a good idea to let the animals sniff each other indirectly. This basically means wiping the new cat with a towel and letting the other animals sniff it and vice versa. Let the new cat into the main house and put the other animals into the cat’s safety room in order to let them sniff around.

Cat Pet Training - Effective Positive Reinforcement Techniques

Timing is absolutely critical in cat pet training in terms of using positive reinforcement. The reward for your cat good behavior must occur almost immediately, if possible within seconds. Otherwise your cat may not associate the reward to that particular action.

Consistency is the key in cat pet training.

Using Positive Reinforcement in Cat Pet Training

You should reward your cat for every time you catch her performing the desired behavior such as scratching the scratching post. Once your cat starts on this desired behavior, you may want to reward her with treats constantly. To make your punishment effective in any cat pet training, it must be delivered when your cat is engaging in the undesirable behavior - caught red-handed. Even if the punishment is delivered a few seconds later, your cat will not associate that punishment to that behavior.

Remember, cats are still animals. Hold your cat’s neck skin and shaking her are just some forms of undesirable punishments. Cats rarely like sticky paws and they will perceive the couch as delivering the punishment. Many enjoy playing.
