What is it?

To develop an IdealCat™ personality, it is very important not to not to hurt, scare or confuse your cat by applying human punishment - no exceptions. Cats do not understand this form of communication. Instead, they simply avoid human contact.

Behavior training is vital education for your cat. However, the goal is not to force the cat to conform to regimented routines  Behavior training is best when it becomes a fun game for you and your cat.  You help your cat figure out how to earn food treats by doing normal behaviors on cue. Increasing communication with your cat enriches a cat's life and improves the relationship between cats and people, especially the positive cat parent.

Most pet parents discover behavior training one of the most fascinating and enjoyable activities shared with a family pet.

Any type of punishment may temporarily stop a behavior but it does nothing to correct or stop the behavior in the long run. Cats learn better from reward training.

Most cats conduct their lives based on early learning experiences. These normal feline behaviors may not meet human expectations.

Humans tend to punish by using parts of the human body to cause harm to the cat. Examples of this are spanking, slapping, shaking, scruffing, and kicking. These cause the cat to perceive people as threats and aggressive. Physical punishment leads to LESS control over cats. Hitting a cat tells the cat that hands and feet of humans are scary. We want your cat to see hands as a source of friendly and gentle petting., a source of bonding and something the cat looks forward to interacting with.
