Help: cat is getting annoying and spoiled?
So we have a cat we adopted from the humane society. She's very cute and adjectives, but lately she's been getting on my nerves. For example, she really likes drinking from the bathroom faucet. So every time you go to the bathroom, she's up on the sink meowing for her usual routine.
However, this I can settlement with. I just throw her out gently. No big operate. Whatever. What's a lot worse, however is her general obsession next to counters and tables. She walks all over our kitchen table. And the kitchen counter tops. And she's be found in the (dry) sink, sitting next to a few dishes, trying to look cute.
How do I discourage this behavior? Is throwing her off the complex elevations every time she does it a good way to proceed?
Throwing her might be considered abuse. My vet advised spraying her with marine from a spray bottle. If you do this consistently, she will eventually stop when you are home. What she does when you're away, is another matter entirely.
Get a squit bottle and squirt her eventually you will just have to shake the bottle and they will run. They own a natural instinct to be high though, high up then everyone or everything else. The whole bathroom sink thing I don`t know you should allow thaty every cat i know dose it and most of them just call it the game.
Answers: Be forgiving and diligent. When you catch her doing something she is not allowed to do keep dictum NO in a loud voice and clapping your hands loudly. Kittens are like children, they will examination their boundries endlessly.
Spray her with water... Eventually she'll revise she's not supposed to be up there. Just tell her no and take her down. My cat used to love to do indistinguishable thing as a kitten, she still does, but usually she knows she's not supposed to be up in attendance. So if we say "hey" when we see her up there, she'll come down pretty rapid lol.
Get a squirt gun and spray her when she is doing something bad, it works near my cat.
That is what a cat does,are you certain a cat is the right pet for you .Any cat you are ever OWNED by will never be as trainable as a dog will,that is why a cat is a "free spirit"unlike a obey you dog.
point at her while scowling and tell her no. whether she proceeds try getting water bottle.
Spray water on her when she does something bad
Ahhh.. I hold the same problem. I got a recently complete a brand new spray bottle with water and spray my cat to discourage any unwanted behaviors. As for the bathroom sink, whether I'm using it when he hops up, I continue to push him away or spray him with hose down. It takes couple of weeks for the cats to "get the big picture" but I can honestly say that I've see DRASTIC IMPROVEMENTS in my cat's behavior.
