Although cats are independent by nature they are highly intelligent and can be trained to show desirable behavior rather than undesirable behavior. To discourage a cat from scratching furniture provide a scratching post for your cat.
Cats are naturally clean animals and kittens learn from their mothers to bury their faeces.
This is why kittens are so easy to toilet train and readily use a litter tray. Litter trays should be placed in a quiet area, be readily accessible and kept clean. Pay particular attention to the cats underline and tail. If you are not planning to breed from your cat it is advisable to have it desexed by the age of 6 months. LOST CATS Unfortunately cats sometimes do get lost.
