Training is essential for feral kittens that have been living wild without human interaction, if they are to be integrated into a human home. Training strengthens the human-animal bond and enriches the lives of both cat and owner. Couch potato cats learn to be more active, shy cats learn to come out from under the bed, cantankerous cats learn to be more loveable. Training encourages the cat to change its behavior and become an upstanding feline citizen. However, the things that a cat likes to do may be at odds with the cat owner's view of suitable behavior. "Cats do what they like, when they like-and why not?"
In fact, many people believe that cats can't be trained. At the same time, owners do not appreciate furniture torn to shreds or children in tears as a result of a kitten playing too roughly.īecause cats are so equipped to look after themselves and provide entertainment and companionship, sometimes it does not occur to cat owners to try to train a cat. The self-reliance and independence of cats are traits that many cat owners value in their pets. Left to their own devices, kittens will grow into cats that are capable of survival on their own without human help. Kittens begin testing their teeth and claws on their siblings, but soon learn to temper their assaults or be left out of the game. Despite their fluffy exteriors, house cats come armed with the same weapons as their larger cousins, and with an instinct to hunt and kill.
