Discipline Your Cat with Cold Air

Training cats is sometimes a difficult endeavor because cats respond so differently from dogs, and cats' behavior is so different anyway. How you discipline cats is very different from how you discipline dogs, and you should recognize that right away. Here is just one technique you can use specifically for your cat to better train it and get it to do the things you want it to do.

The technique looked at in this article is simple: cold air. Cats are much more susceptible to temperature changes, and react much more when they are suddenly made uncomfortable. So, it makes sense to train your cat by utilizing its desire to be comfortable. By exploiting that particular trait, you can move far in your training efforts.

Whenever your cat acts on a tendency to do something it knows it's not supposed to—climbing on the furniture, walking on the counters, lounging in the bathtub, sleeping in your bed, crawling up your leg—just shoot a gust of cold air at it. By having that immediate and negative reaction to its behavior, your cat will assuredly back off, and cease doing whatever it's not supposed to be doing.

It may take a few times to fully train your cat to not do what it's not supposed to, but after repeatedly experiencing the cold air result, your cat will definitely stop what the behavior in fearful anticipation of getting the cold air.

The best source for your cold air is that spray-able air found in pressurized cans. Usually this air is used for cleaning machinery, but is very cold, and can definitely be used for training your cat. This can of cold air can be found in any car shop, computer store, or crafting business. (The air-in-a-can is often used for sewing and other such projects). It's inexpensive, and one can will definitely do the trick for your cat!

You can't forget to reward your cat for behaving the way it's supposed to. The cat won't have too much positive incentive for maintaining good behavior if there's no good reward. Praise and stroke your cat when it does what it's supposed to, and your cat will keep up the good work!
