Cats are animals. Humans are animals as well but supposedly of a higher order. In

order to live together in a companionable and happy relationship there are some things

that your cat needs to learn. Owning an animal of any sort should be more pleasure

than pain, but there will be considerable pain if the animal is in control of the

household.


So what is the basic training your cat needs, to establish a happy relationship in the

family?


First, there is toilet training. There would be nothing worse than to come home from a

hard day at the office to find an unmentionable lump on your best bedspread. So

where to go to the toilet is one of the most important things to train your cat or kitten.

Cats are naturally clean animals so it is quite easy to train to use a litter tray. Simply

place him on it after his meal.


Other basic training may depend on where you live. If you live in an apartment, you

may need to train your cat to lead so that you can take him outside. If you live in the

country, this may not be necessary. If you live close to major traffic, but have a

backyard, you may need to train your cat to keep away from the road, otherwise he is

likely to get run over.


Another important item that will need attention is to stop your cat from scratching the

furniture. Cats love to scratch and it is their nature to sharpen their claws. They don't

just do it to ruin furniture, but this is what will happen if they are not trained. Remove

your cat from the furniture immediately he starts to scratch and place his paws against

his scratching pole.


If you travel a lot and wish to take your cat with you, travel training is a must. It's not

wise to allow your cat freedom in the car, as it may happen to climb onto you while

you are driving and this can cause an accident. Also, if you happen to have an accident
