A special area for your cat is a nice addition too. Some owners have cat trees or houses, beds, scratch posts, fenced gardens and other creative playgrounds for the pampered puss. The more you involve your kitten in activities and interactions with others, the calmer they will be. The benefit is that they will be more likely to respond without fear or defensiveness as they grow older. Teaching your kitten right from wrong at an early age will prevent them from challenging you as they get older too.
Cat training can also start at a young age.
Yes, believe it or not you can train a cat. Most people have never bothered to work with their felines and believe all the old myths floating around about our finicky feline friends. The last cat I rescued came when called, sat and stayed, down stayed, sat up, and traveled extensively with me. He had a couple of other tricks up his sleeve too. Most people were amazed since he came to me when he was pretty old and not a lot of time was spent in actual training time.
