Re: Training a new cat [cartsman]
That cat wants to play.

Give it something to play with that isn’t one of your body parts. It will eventually associate your body as a petting and feeding thing and its toys as things to rip into.

If you try to “stop” it from clawing you without a substitute object to focus its murderous instincts it will end up shitting in the shower, pissing in your bed, barfing in your shoes and scratching your eyeballs out when you go to sleep.

It will also bring in rodents alive instead of dead and then sit back and enjoy watching you run around the house trying to catch a rat.

Don’t trim its nails. That’s just humiliating to the cat.

Get it something to stratch so it can sharpen it’s claws naturally, like a new leather couch or your girlfriend.

A cat is like a great and mighty river. You cannot stop its flow. You can only redirect it.

Also...


You don’t train cat. Cat train you.

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.
