The Best and Worst Ways to Train Your Cat?

“You may be sorely tempted to yell at your cat if you catch them sitting next to a broken vase or clawing the furniture, but punishing your cat after the fact is ineffective. She won’t connect the punishment with something they’re already done and forgotten about. Instead, they’ll think you’re yelling at them for whatever they’re doing at that very moment, which might be welcoming you home from work. Yelling, hitting, and shaking will only make your cat fearful and confused and could lead to them avoiding you altogether.”
