The rules of life
From an early age, the cat needs to know a few simple rules that will facilitate its integration into your home. A shared responsibility among you and your companion will give him a healthy lifestyle.
Basic Rules
The kitten must first learn to be clean and to be in his new environment. To the help in this task and to guide it on what to do, you can use these tips:
Cleanliness must be integrated into its habits on arrival.
His place should be defined (food dish, resting place, litter, .).
Advanced Rules
Once the basic rules assimilated the social side of his education can begin. Again, you have an important role in its attitude to these rules. They are:
Recognize his name (short name preferred)
Socialization (his master must take)
Technical education
Some of these educational techniques similar to those used by his mother when he was a kitten. Here are some techniques to make him except your rules of life:
Positive reinforcement
You can give him a reward when he is well, it can be treats or toys designed for this purpose.
Deterrence
When, for example, he climbs on the table and do not have the right, use a spray bottle and spray-water, taking care that it does not see the source of the jet. It is only necessary that a table associates the unpleasant effect.
Redirection
After having something forbidden, we must tell him what he can do instead. Without this positive response, he will not know the difference among what is right and what he did wrong.
Punishment
It is only effective when you take the fact, otherwise it will be destabilized without understanding why you are angry against him.
