To spray or not to spray?
Let's talk about a common misconception: spraying cats with water to correct their behaviour. While it might seem like a quick fix, it's actually not a positive solution for our feline friends. Here's why:
1️⃣ Stress & Fear: Spraying cats with water can cause them to associate fear and stress with their environment or with you. This can lead to anxiety and in fact, worsen the behavioural issues you're trying to address.
2️⃣ Trust issues: Our bond with our cats is built on trust. When we resort to punishment like spraying water, we risk damaging that trust and creating a rift in our relationship.
3️⃣ Ineffective: Most importantly, it's simply not an effective method of training. Cats are intelligent creatures, and positive reinforcement techniques work much better in the long run.
So, let's focus on understanding our cats' natural behaviours. Patience, consistency, and love go a long way in helping our feline friends become their best selves. And for everything else, We Speak Cats will help you. ❤️🐾
