It is often seen that when a cat become little extra aggressive and starts to do some unpleasant things in home then a good professional will advise you to get another cat. This is sometimes a shocking advice for common person because he will think that another cat will bring more destruction and more chaos in the house.  This is not the case because most of the times the cause of aggression is less attention. When you bring another cat in the house then attention of your aggressive cat is diverted towards that cat and she will think less about those unpleasant activities. Take it as company because when a cat become bore then, she becomes aggressive and destructive while another cat will give her company and they will enjoy that company. 

Some owners really do not care about certain bad habits of their cats for example it can look really cute when your small kitten bites at your bare foot or wrist but it will be a different scene when a full grown cat bites you with his predator teeth but you do not need to get shocked at that time because the cat is doing what she was taught in early days. You need to observe the habits of your cat closely and tell him or her to avoid certain habits which are not appropriate for your home’s order and discipline.  Never encourage the behavior that you do not want to see in your cat in future. This is normal rule that apply some common sense in your relationship and avoid your cat to do things that can make fuss in your home. 

The following are some suggestions that can be used to provide the necessary precautions in keeping a kitty safe: • Keeping the cats indoors is perhaps the most effective way of keeping the animal safe. Although this is not a full proof solution, as most cats will eventually find ways to get out once they are bigger, it is a useable solution for a kitten. This of course is only if all the members within the household unit are equally committed to being careful and alert to leaving doors and windows ajar.  • Other safety measure would be to keep all wires and all unplugged dangling cords out of the reach of the cat. Most cats are instantly attracted to anything hanging or moving, thus there is a need to ensure the wires are not left dangling. Other objects such as blinds should also be properly secure to ensure the cat does not become entangled in it. Besides this, keeping breakables out of the cat’s path would also be a good idea. If observed carefully, the owner would be ...

Understanding the difference between the natural nature of the cat and the habits that the cat picks up is very important. Trying to train the cat to do something that goes against the very core nature of it will not only be confusing but will cause the cat to resist altogether.  This will create a very unpleasant and stressful situation for both the cat and the owner. Therefore, the responsibility is left to the owner to read up on such behavioral patterns and understand the difference, so that the appropriate actions can be taken when it is called for. Some of the ways a cat behaves are purely instinctive and it would be helpful and beneficial for the owner to be able to identify these differences.  The litter box is another good example of the cat’s natural instincts being evident. Cats enjoy digging through loosely textured material, particularly to be used as their toilet area, thus the cat will willingly use the litter box for this purpose. The same would ap...

The simplest way of making your cat a mannered and habitual pet is through shaping his behavior for example scratching is normal behavior of cats and they will scratch no matter what you do but if you can associate some unpleasant activity with scratching then, your cat will think before scratching.  You can try to use a spray of water whenever your cat tries to scratch or bite any pillow, wall paper or carpet or any other similar thing. If you can do that effectively for some period of time then, you cat will know that whenever this scratching or biting is executed then, it will be accompanied with a very unpleasant event of getting wet and it will be just a matter of time when your cat ignores all kinds of scratching and biting. 

You can experience this problem very frequently with your cat. It may happen that you are sitting in your TV lounge and watching news when suddenly your cat comes in and snatches at your feet and runs away. This could be jealousy or it could be a way of getting your attention but it may be neither of these. A cat can bit or scratch due to pain, hunger or any other similar reason but if these are not the reasons then, this is a behavioral problem that needs to be addressed. This can be due to miscommunication between owner and the cat. Sudden bite or scratch can also be due to nervous system disorder or some other serious disease.  There are some very simple precautions that you can follow to minimize this bad habit of your kitten. Never allow your cat to play with your bare foot or hand. This often invokes an aggressive intent in cat and she tried to do some damage so that you can feel her presence around your hand or feet. It may look very cute when a small kitten bites...

Cat has hair all over his body and that is the reason it is very easy to spot dandruff as well as it is also very easy for the cat to get dandruff in those long and thick hair.  If you have a cat with dandruff problem then, you should know that he will never be worried about that dandruff and will not be shy about someone seeing his dandruff but you have to take note of that dandruff and find its reason.  Sometimes it can be caused by parasite infections like ring worms’ or any other or it can be caused just by sunburn or the reason can be as simple as absence of moisture and dry air inside your house.  In that case giving your cat a moisturizing bath and increasing the humidity of your house will decrease the dandruff of the cat. 

The following are some of the ways that are used to correctly administer discipline to a cat with minimal results, but results nonetheless: • Learning to recognize and use the methods that only the cat will respond to will be a good place to start. It is an established fact that most cats will not respond unless it suits them to do so, thus there is a need to find ways to extract this response in the most effective and non violent way. In most cases, the element of surprise seems to work well enough.  Once this element of surprise is used to mildly shock the cat into compliance, there could be some visible improvements in the cat to committing the offending act as often. • It should be understood that most disciplinary tactics used, should be done at the very point the undesirable act is being committed by the cat. Disciplining the cat after the act is committed will not help in any way to make the cat understand the actions are unacceptable. Therefore, having something l...

Most cats will not respond well to any sort of commands unless they are interested in doing so, therefore using any resources available would help to aid the owner in getting the cat at least interested in responding to the command. It has been noted that cats are more likely to stop doing something if it proves to be unpleasant to their senses in any way. This vital piece of information can be used to work for the benefit of the owner in many ways, provided the owner is prepared to be resourceful. If the pet cat loves to scratch at furniture, instead of the scratching pole designated for this purpose, then applying something to the area where the cat tends to scratch would be better than trying to get the cat to stop this action using commands. Applying sticky tape or tin foil would be one option as cats don’t like the sensation it creates on their paws. Generally, the whole idea is to be able to use the soft approach of praise and treats to get the cat to understand the diff...

This look over will tell you about the real problem cause and you can tell your vet about that source and get some appropriate solution. 

Cats communicate in lots of innovative and very attractive ways and sometimes we humans are not sensitive enough to understand their methods of communication.  There signs and body language has very minor flicks that you have to understand properly. This delicate body language often confuses humans and they make certain mistakes about cat behavior understanding. First step in understanding the cat’s behavior is to know the exact frequency of their voice and also you need to know certain notions which their body language depicts.  When you study the animal behavior then, you will come across two categories of behaviors which are nature and nurture. Nature means the behaviors which are learned naturally and are always included in animal instincts while nurture means the behaviors and methods which they learn from us. 

There are so many voices that cats can make and they communicate their different expressions and gestures in these voices. Often it seems like cats are making one simple voice but if you observe it closely then, you will know that there is a different tone in different situation. When cat is hungry then, the tone will be little low and if she is in playing mode then she will create a more happy and appealing voice.  These are some aspects that you need to learn in order to understand the cat’s behavior properly.
