My cat came to my house when it was 45 days old

My cat came to my house when it was 45 days old.

From my experience of raising cats for half a month, beating can be effective, but there is actually a better way.

My cat came to my house when it was 45 days old. I took good care of it. But because it was a kitten, it probably didn’t know how to get along with people, and I followed the advice on the Internet to raise cats rigidly, so I couldn’t help beating the cat several times. But the effect was different each time.

1. Stop the cat from running around. Netizens suggested that cats should be locked in a small room when they first arrived home, and then let out after one or two days to prevent stress. So I locked the cat in the room. But it always wanted to go into my bedroom to find out. I was anxious and kicked it hard. As a result, it hid in a small box and panted when it saw me approaching. After a few minutes, it came out of the box and tried to walk towards my bedroom again. This time beating the cat was ineffective, because if you rely on beating to solve the problem, you will end up beating it to death. I had to use a stupid way: close the door of the room and try to reduce the number of times you open the door.

2. Stop the cat from stretching its claws to scratch me. According to the advice given by netizens, you can’t tease a cat with your hands, and secondly, you should control the cat with your hands to let it feel the power of people. So in order to prevent it from treating me as an object that can be attacked in the future and let it understand my strength, I pressed it to the ground and couldn’t move when it scratched me with its claws, and then spanked its butt. The cat knew that I was teaching it a lesson and was scared when it saw me. But after a few days, when it was no longer afraid of me, it still stretched out its claws (I can’t beat it every day to make it afraid, that would be cat abuse). Therefore, this time beating the cat was effective, but the effect did not last long. However, as time went by, this problem has been solved. I guess I was probably good to it, so after 2 weeks of coming to my house, it no longer stretched out its claws to me, but just patted me with its paw pads.

3. Prevent the cat from going to bed. In order to prevent it from going on the table and bed, I also beat it. When I saw it going to bed, I would pat it down the first time, pick it up and put it on the ground the second time, and pick it up and hit its back a few times for the third time, and then throw it hard to the ground (falling with its limbs down, making sure to land on all fours). After beating it for the third time, it understood and became more obedient. It was obedient for half an hour, and then it climbed up again. But in the end, the problem was still solved. I put peeled orange peels in places where it was not allowed to climb. It hated the smell of orange peels and naturally stayed away. There was another way. I found that it hated the smell of ear floats, so I dropped a few drops of ear floats in places where it was not allowed to stay, and it immediately stayed away.

In summary, there are more effective ways to control cats than beating. It seems difficult to solve the problem if you just beat it.
