One important thing to bear in mind while cat training or kitten training, chiefly when you are house training them, is that scolding just do not work all the time. Most of the owners initially, when they try to give litter box training to their cat, it becomes frustrated since they are incapable of catching the cat in the act of the offense so as to approve them.

People usually tell the cat the proof, then try to discipline the cat at the time, and sometimes they even pull the cat back to the box, forcing them to dig in the litter. What the cat gets as part of this cat training is that being scooped up by its owner is a terrible thing, and that a litter box is nothing but an unpleasant place.

It's not easy and not always possible to catch cats doing this. The majority of cats have now realized that it's no fun being trapped. If you do find your cat doing this, you really need to make him realize what he's doing wrong.

Cats do not keep track of time like we do, so if you're punishing him for something he did an hour ago, he won't make the connection. It's been known that some cats will act up to get notice, which action leads to him continuing to be naughty.

So you're getting a new kitten! If you've bought a kitten from a reputable breeder, the kitten should have had specific cat training in regard to using a litter box by watching its mother. Of any cat problems that could arise, this is one that should have been taken care of before you bring it home.

Before you take your new kitten home, it is a good idea to first ask the breeder what type of litter box he had been using. This is because changing brands on your new pet may confuse him to such a degree that he does not use the box. If you really want to change to a different brand, it is a good idea to make the change gradually.

A significant consideration while cat training or kitten training is realizing that scolding your pet isn't always effective. An example is in litter box training. If the owner grabs the cat in "the act" and forces him into the litter box, the cat may learn to associate the litter box as an unpleasant experience. Your cat won't correlate punishment after the fact and some will learn to misbehave simply to get attention. So, buy your kitten from a reputable breeder where cat problems are handled before you bring it home (and ask about the type of litter box and filler; and change it gradually if you must change it
