One of the most common bad habits in cats is frequent and mournful meowing, which can lead to the frenzy of even a fairly patient person. Often in this way, cats express their dissatisfaction with the fact that they are not allowed to go outside for a long time, but the reason for such behavior may be the requirement to feed them immediately.
If the cat walks on the street and its noisy behavior is caused by long breaks between walks, you can make a special door so that the animal can leave and return when it pleases. However, in big cities this is not always possible, so it is important to train your pet in a specific routine while the animal is still young.
If the animal meows, extorting food from the owner, one can proceed as follows. In the morning, the kitten needs to be fed before leaving for work, and not immediately after raising. In this case, the animal will not interfere with the owner's sleep, emitting heart-rending cries. In addition, it will be easier for a cat to endure loneliness during the day, as eating before leaving the owner will cause her positive emotions.
Sometimes cats start screaming loudly because little attention is paid to them. It is necessary to play more with the animal, to stroke it more often and pick it up so that the cat feels the owner’s warm and affectionate attitude towards it.
Another bad habit is that cats tend to sharpen claws on furnishings. This behavior is due to the natural needs of the animal, but the property of the owner suffers as a result. To avoid this, you need to prepare a convenient plank for the animal or purchase a special device for sharpening claws from the pet store. The sharpener should be put in the place where the cat likes to tidy its claws most of all.

Some cats (most often Siamese) unexpectedly for the owners begin to lick all the objects in the room, especially wool products (clothes, carpets, rugs and blankets). Often this inexplicable behavior is manifested in those cats that were early separated from their mother. To adjust the behavior of the animal, you need to remove woolen things, and if this is difficult, then treat them with a special non-toxic composition, the smell of which is unpleasant for cats. You can offer the animal a toy made of wool, perhaps the cat will transfer its attention to it and stop licking the owner’s things.
Sometimes cats exhibit inexplicable aggression and bite when they are picked up or trying to stroke. Such behavior can be associated both with the individual characteristics of the animal, and with the characteristic features of the breed to which a particular cat belongs.
You can’t be rude to a cat, talk sharply with her and punish her. This will not contribute to the establishment of friendly relations between the animal and its owner. The kitten must be treated patiently and gently, and gradually the animal will respond to the care of its owner.
The kitten needs to spend time actively, move a lot and play. He can play alone, but the animal must be given attention. Of course, most people are not able to spend a lot of time with their pets. But about 1 hour a day, anyone who has decided to have one will be able to deal with the kitten. If this is not possible, it is better not to start the animal, as the cat will feel abandoned and deprived of attention. Contrary to popular belief about the individualism of cats, these animals, like other domestic animals pets need communication with the owner. Sometimes a cat is more attached to a person, rather than to a house, as is commonly thought.
