7 Ways To Make Cats Obey You
As a cat owner, of course, we really want our cat to obey us, but what we want is very different from reality. The cats we keep seem very ignorant and stupid when we call them and don't want to obey at all.
Cats only obey when called to eat. And even then maybe not because we call to eat but the cat hears the sound of plates or plastic food. For some cat lovers, maybe the behavior of a cat that is indifferent and very stupid with its master is a normal thing or a unique thing.
However, this may differ from one cat lover to another. For others, the cat's indifferent behavior may make the master feel sad, feel that the cat doesn't love him, feel that the cat is arrogant and so on. What you think is actually wrong.
Actually, cats love us, but because they are not used to being trained by their masters, cats cannot express their affection and do not know whether they are being called or not. As a result, cats seem indifferent to us and do not seem to love us. The point is that this mistake is not all the cat's fault.
This is because we are not used to training it and rarely interact with it. As a result we rarely work or have other activities that make us unable to be at home often. When the master rarely trains and interacts with the cat but other family members interact with him more often then the cat will be more obedient to them.
Without the need for proof, surely you have realized it considering the attitudes and behaviors that cats have shown at home. Cats will look more obedient, respond faster when called and are more affectionate and spoiled to our family members such as our wives and children.
If this happens to you then you don't need to be sad and feel foreign to your favorite cat. There are still ways to get your cat to obey and obey you. See how below.
How To Get Cats to Obey ?
Before getting into how to make cats obey their masters, we should first know what are the reasons why cats don't want to obey their masters. Based on Anggora's own experience, who has been keeping cats for a long time.
There are 8 reasons why cats don't love, and don't want to obey their owners. Here are 8 causes:
1. High Voice Tone
Cats don't like people who have a high pitch of voice. The research of Galvan and Vonk of the University of Oakland in the City of Rochester proves this. They have proven that cats will try to stay away from people who speak in a high-pitched, harsh, angry, frowning tone.
Therefore, when you want to make the cat obey you then as much as possible speak in a normal and soft tone. So that the cat does not move away when it sees you and does not mark you as a person who is not friendly to cats.
2. Wrinkle Face
As explained above, cats do not like people who are angry, rude and like to frown in front of cats. People with this kind of behavior will be difficult for cats to like, will be hated by cats and even cats prefer to stay away from them.
They stay away from it because they think this type of person is a threat that one day can hurt them.
3. Often Gets Angry At Cats
Not only humans, cats are also very, very dislike people who are often angry with them. Cats will remember smells, sounds and store the angry person's face in their cerebral cortex. When they meet people with the same criteria then they will not like to be around him.
They are more likely to stay away and choose not to approach it at all. But this does not apply if you bribe them with fish food, dry food, wet food and the like.
4. Rarely Feeding Cats
Lack of food for cats can also make cats unwilling to obey us and make cats feel we are strangers or people who are not so important.
5. Rarely Pets Cats
Cats will get to know people who interact with them often. Not only that, often petting them will make cats remember us as friendly people, like us and think we love them.
Stroking a cat can also make us a family member for him (not strangers) . That's why people who rarely pet their cats often can't make cats obey and like them.
6. Rarely Play With Him
Another interaction that you can do to get your cat to know you and be obedient is to play with him often. But this is of course rarely done by cat lovers who are busy working outside the home. This is why cats are often indifferent to their owners who are busy working.
7. Rarely Calls His Name
Calling a cat is one of many ways to get a cat's attention and make the cat obey us.
8. We Don't Feed The Cat When He Asks For It
Cats don't want to obey people who don't feed them when they ask for it. This is because cats have the ability to distinguish between people. He will remember people who are stingy with him and he will be reluctant to obey him.
This happened when my parents often ignored when the cat asked him to eat. As a result, the cat became lazy to ask my father for food and did not want to come when he called the cat.
How To Get Cats to Obey Us ?
So, so that the cat will obey or obey us, you have to make the cat comfortable and happy around you. Some of the following ways you might try to conquer the cat. Here are some ways you can try to get your cat to obey you :
1. Take Care of Cats Since Childhood
This one method is powerful enough to make cats obey us. The reason why we have to take care of it since childhood is quite simple, namely to make it easy to train it to obey us. In addition, keeping a cat since childhood will also make the cat think of us as a parent figure.
The bond of parent and child will be formed even though our race is different. But this doesn't mean we can't make the cats we pick up, adopt or buy when they're adults to obey us. Still can really, it all depends on how we care for and treat it.
2. Give Name
How can you make him obey you when you don't give him a name. A cat that is not given a name will make it difficult for us to call him and train him. Start by giving the cat a name and as much as possible give the cat a name that is simple and easy to remember.
Not to be easy for us to remember but for cats to remember easily. Giving simple names such as tom, oyen, itam, sweet, unis and so on is considered capable of being remembered by cats and makes it easy for us to train them. Giving a name to a cat can also increase our bond with the cat and is a sign that we love him.
3. Feed And Drink Enough And Regularly
The need to eat and drink a cat is one of the factors that make cats obey. Cats will not want to be trained, let alone obey if they are not given regular food and water. Give him his needs regularly and make sure what he eats and drinks is nutritious and healthy.
For cat drinks, give boiled water so that the cat avoids diarrhea. Cats who have all their needs met will usually be more submissive, spoiled and look happy.
4. Give Snacks Using Your Hands
This method that I often do to make the cat obedient is by giving snacks using my hands. The trick is to take a snack or food and place it in your hand and then call your cat. When he comes to you, give him a snack by hand.
You can also do this method if you want to train your cat in certain attractions such as walking on two legs, pretending to be dead, patting the paw and the like.
5. Bathing the Cat
Cats are a type of animal that hates water, especially when it is bathed. But even though the cat hates it, after the cat bathes he will feel his whole body comfortable. This is because all the lice, parasites, germs and bacteria that irritate the skin and fur have disappeared.
When a cat's body is clean and healthy, it will increase his affection for us and make him more obedient.
6. Relationship Form
Relationships are also important in making cats more obedient to us. Forming a relationship is not only enough to give water and food, but it is also necessary to interact. Like petting a cat, bathing it, playing together, taking a walk and the like.
When you have free time, interact as much as possible with your pet cat.
7. Pay Attention To Cat Health
Cats who do not pay attention to their health will easily fall ill. When the cat is sick, of course, the cat will be more silent and lie down. Even when called upon he would not obey. This is the reason why it is important for us to always pay attention to the care and health conditions of cats.
When the cat is in pain, immediately take the cat to the doctor. This is done so that the cat recovers quickly and the disease will not endanger his life. And try to also do regular health checks to the vet at least once a month.
Can The Above Method Make The Cat Obey Us ?
Yes it will definitely work. Because the ways above are the ways I've been doing to tame cats and make them more obedient to me. But among all the methods above, according to Angora, the most effective method is method number 4.
In addition to method number 4, other methods can make cats more obedient if we apply it often and are patient in doing it. I myself took about 1 to two months using the above method to make the cat obey and become more docile.
Wow. it turns out that there are also many ways that need to be done so that cats obey us. Maybe that's all I can say, I hope this article is useful for you. Don't forget to share it with your relatives, cat lovers and social media.
