kitten becoming aggressive
For goodness sake, ... hit her. not hard but enough so she knows its wrong.
cats are amoral, avaricious and aggessive. you have to train them. gently, firmly but don't hurt them tho. they aint toys, they are animals. so dont hurt them but they shouldn't hurt you either. |

It's completely unnecessary to strike a cat to train it. Laura so once you have explained to the cat that its wrong and discussed the morality of hurting others.... what do you do then ? I'm not talking about hurting the cat, simply a clear indication of displeasure. My female cat hits my male cat with her claws in to indicate displeasure so why shouldn't you ? |

I'm not talking about hurting the kitten, simply a clear indication of displeasure. Have you watched a mother cat with her young ? or any adult cat with an adolescent cat that's misbehaving ? They will hit the young-un with claws in to indicate displeasure so why shouldn't you ? |
