- Controlling Your Cat's Aggressive Nature With Appropriate Cat Training
By: Michael Hickmon | - Cats are an interesting animal that must be given respect. You cannot force a cat to comply with your rules like other animals and in fact trying to do so will yield in aggressive cat behavior. If a cat thinks it is cornered or you are trying to force it to do something it doesn't want to do, it will either run away or go into a defensive position (if it thinks it cannot get away). You don't want to touch or try to pick up a frightened cat, that would be a mistake you will regret with painful cu ...

- Learn How To Teach A Cat Tricks
By: Annie Clark | - Many people train their dogs how to roll over and perform other tricks. While you may know that cats are smart, did you know that most cats can be taught to perform tricks?

- Cat Training And You

- House Training Your Kitty
By: Kathrynn Kelley | - Cats are relatively easy to housebreak - most of the time. However, there is always the exception to the rule, the little kitty rebel who refuses to conform to the structure of society, albeit it is a severely limited society consisting of you, the rest of the family, other pets and the house that you share with your cat. Still, this is his society and if he gets it into his little kitty mind to rebel, it will be a challenge to convince him to conform. Let's face it, when you go head to head wit ...

- Cat Training Tips And Strategies
By: Paula Sanders | - Cats are typically self-sufficient and thus do not need a lot of training. It is unfortunate, though, that some kittens can form bad habits as they mature. Such bad habits are common in cats that have been adopted, neglected, abused, taken in as a stray, or even purchased from a breeder. Even then, though, it seems that cats have a natural instinct guiding them to the litter box and thus a majority of them do not require "potty training."
An essential component of cat training is re ...

- Cat Training Is Not Always Easy
By: Albert Tang | - Cat training is not always easy, but it is possible if you want to have a well trained cat that will add a lot of fun, joy and laughter to your family.

- Litter Training Your Cat
By: Julia Camden | - Cats and their litter habits can be one of the main annoyances of having a cat; it can often seem like they go to the bathroom in places other than their litter box just to get back at you, or annoy or get revenge on their owner somehow.

- How To Cure Bad Breath From Your Cat
By: Article Submissions | - Cat owners know for a fact that bad cat breath can be downright awful. It isn't that much different from bad human breath, as both are caused by bacteria found in the mouth that breaks protein down and releases the sulfur compounds out into the air.
