Set Clear Boundaries: Establish house rules early on, like where your cat can jump or scratch, to prevent unwanted behaviors.
Positive Reinforcement: Reward good behavior with treats, praise, or playtime to encourage your cat to repeat the action.
Use Deterrents Wisely: Use harmless deterrents, like double-sided tape on furniture, to prevent scratching and encourage proper behavior.
Litter Box Training: Keep the litter box clean and in a quiet, accessible spot to ensure your cat always knows where to go.
Redirect Negative Behavior: When your cat exhibits bad habits (like biting), gently redirect them to an acceptable alternative, like a toy.
Create Playful Distractions: Redirect energy and boredom into fun, interactive toys that engage their mind and body, preventing mischief.
Socialize Slowly: Gradually introduce your cat to new people and environments to reduce stress and improve their behavior in unfamiliar situations.
Patience is Key: Be patient and consistent—cats learn at their own pace, so avoid punishment and focus on positive methods.
