Best Answer

I've used a spray bottle like the kind you get cleaner in and every time I catch my cat doing something, I spray it while using a sharp sound like "Psssst". I try to use the same sound every time so that the cat will associate it with water. Later, I can just make the sharp sound and the cat will jump and probably scramble away to avoid the water it thinks it is going to get.

What is the best way to train an adult cat?

The best way to train an adult cat is with operant conditioning. When you see your cat doing what you want it to do or see it doing something that is close to what you want to see it do, reward it with food. This is called positive reinforcement. When your cat does something you don't want it to do offer negative reinforcement (squirt it with a water pistol). After a while your cat's behavior will be molded to that which you want it to have.

What if you cut your cats food in half and the next day you get dry food in your hand and he still wont listen?

If you're trying to train your cat to do something, cutting its food in half will not help. Cats learn better with repetition and treats. Cats are not like dogs, it takes lots of time and patience to train them. If you're trying to discipline the cat and keep it from doing something, then a spray bottle filled with water works the best. When the cat is doing something wrong (scratching the couch for instance) spray it with the spray bottle.

How do you train your cat to stop using the litter tray?

How odd. Most people want to train their cats to use the litter tray, not to train them to stop using it. If you don't want your cat to use the litter tray, that's easy; remove the tray. If the tray is not there, the cat cannot use it. Move the litter tray outdoors to get your cat used to going outside and then, eventually, remove the litter tray completely.


Is there something to feed your cat to keep your cat from shedding?

No. If your cat is among the breeds that naturally shed, there is nothing you can feed them that will stop them from shedding.


How do you train a cat?

if you want to train a cat, you would do the same thing that you would do to train a dog, but you would need more patience, time, and persistence. dont give your cat the treat unless they did the right thing. if you give your cat the treat when it did the wrong behavior, then you are reinforcing that behavior that you didnt want them to do. so if you want to train a cat, you have to be patient.A cat (unlike a dog) is notorious for being impossible to train. Some cats may appear to be trainable (to a basic limit), but not if they don't want to do something! My wife once shouted at our cat, and for the rest of the day, the cat would turn her back on my wife!
