If a cat continually misbehaves it will cause stress all round, particularly if you go the wrong way about trying to correct this behavior. So how do you train a cat? Well, a cat cannot be trained in the same way as a dog and if you show anger when a cat has done something wrong that will just make the situation worse. Unfortuately a cat will not relate your reaction with whatever they have just done but might learn from your behavior that you are someone to be wary of. The cat might learn to be careful when you are around but will still do what you don’t like at other times.

Rather than seeking to “train” a cat you need to think more in terms of modifing their behavior. Firstly you need to understand why they are doing something then remove the cause, or make the action unpleasant for them whilst offering a pleasant alternative.

The sort of problems you can tackle with the right knowledge include:

• Stop Cats From Scatching Furniture – Scratching is a natural instinct for cats and something you cannot stop. What you can do is get your cat to do it somewhere that is not a problem rather than on your furniture.
• Biting Unexpectedly – If a cat starts biting they may be in pain in which case a visit to the vet is required. If not, there are a number of possible reasons why they have become aggressive and these need to be tracked down and eliminated.
• Cats Spraying – Spraying is when a cat seeks to mark its territory, find a mate or maybe relieve stress by “spraying” a strong smelling mix of urine and pheromones. The reason for this behaviour needs to be tracked down first  then there are a number of ways to tackle it depending on the cause. Make sure that the cat is actually spraying not just urinating in an inappropriate place because the two things require different action.   
• Litterbox Issues – There are a number of reasons why cats might avoid using a litterbox but these are usually fairly straightward to correct.
• Relations with other cats – If you introduce a new cat into the household it must be done very carefully to prevent problems with your existing pet. Avoiding conflict in a multi-cat household requires careful management.

The more you know about your pet and his behavior, the better you can solve the problems you have with your pet and the better pet owner you can be. You will be able to have a close relationship with your cat and enjoy being a pet owner.

Having a cat around will be enjoyable as long as you are not suffering from any allergies. Well, similar to other pets it is vital that you select the right cat for you. Choosing a cat is mostly based on your personality and what type, breed, and size of cat you want to have. Cats differ in breeds so they have different charateristics and personalities. Some cats undergo cat training because there are pet owners who want to join their cats in cat shows or similar animal fashion shows.

Before purchasing a cat, you should first consider what type of cat you want whether you want a young cat which is playful or an older one which is calmer. Next, think of what size and breed you want. The Siamese cats are thought to be a “one person cat” which means they are sweet and loyal to their owner but can be anti-social to other people. There are small cats and there are larger ones so make sure to decide quick on what size you want depending on the space inside your home. Non-neutered cats require more room while neutered cats can live comfortably in a small space.

Cat health should not be taken for granted when checking out cats in a pet store. Make sure the cat is not ill. You look out for signs of illness by checking the cat’s tail and nose. Their bottom should be clean and their nose and tail must be free from dirt and moist.

It is also important for you to dig deeper into the cat’s history by asking the pet store owner questions pertaining to the behavior and health of the cat you are interested in buying. Ask also advice on proper cat care and handling. Another helpful tip for you in choosing is to observe how often the cat purrs.. If the cat purrs often then that indicates that the cat is friendly, sociable and can be a good choice.
