How to let a cat know it hurts you?
The key to training a cat is that feedback (positive or negative) must be immediate and consistent. If your cat bites or scratches, then you must make a noise using a hurt or angry tone while they are doing it.

5 Pointers To Help Begin Your New Life As A Pet Owner

* Just because this is your first doesn’t mean you have to adopt a puppy or kitten. There are lots of adult and senior animals in need of loving, forever homes, too.
* Consider your lifestyle, activity level, and patience before adopting. Research what breeds will match your life best.
* It’s important to pet-proof your home. Make sure that they can’t get a hold of any wires, remotes, or poisonous plants. These household items can cause potential threats.
* Start training early.
When training your dog, always use voice commands and visual cues. Positive rewards will allow you to train quickly and easily.
* Socialization is very important! Allow your new pet to interact with other people, animals, and places.
