Stopping Bad Cat Behavior In Its Tracks

Correcting bad cat behavior is bad enough, but when you are starting to try and correct it after several months it can be even harder.

Many people email me asking me about cat behavior and they usually state that a certain behavior has been going on for a couple of months.

One thing to be aware of is that conditioning takes time. It took time for your cat to become conditioned to bad cat behavior, and it will take time to condition him for good cat behavior.

This concept is expanded on further by Dr. Chris in his book Solutions to Cat Behavior Problems.

People I email are often disappointed when they find out how much hard work is ahead of them.

The main thing when conditioning animals or people to how you want them to behave is consistency.

Consistency cannot be stressed enough when it come to trying to change bad cat behaviour.

So if you are trying to change your cat's behaviour, do it early and consistently.

Thanks for reading my blog!
