You don't need a whiz-bang camera. If you learn and practise these basic techniques, you'll see your photos improve measurably. And don't be afraid to take lots of photos to get a few good ones. The professionals do.
Prepare your cat
Take a little time to plan your photography sessions. How do you want to capture your cat's personality? Is she smoochy, lazy, active, playful?
Help your cat relax around the camera. Let her sniff it first. Remove any collar and wipe her over with a damp cloth if he looks a bit scruffy. You might want to control how far your cat can roam during the photo session. This could be as simple as closing a door or putting up a barrier.
If your cat is very active, wait for a quieter time, like after a meal when he may be sleepy. Or tire him out first. A good way to get your cat to hold still is to let him play quietly and once you have everything ready, call him. This will catch his attention, giving you a few seconds to capture an alert posture.
If you have a predominantly outside cat, she may be flirty when just let into the house. A chance for great photos of her rubbing against a chair.
If you want your cat to look at the camera, hold some food above or alongside the camera. You'll want to take these shots before feeding her.
For shots of your cat playing, it will be easier with an assistant. Have some teasers, like feathers or string. Use a box or paper bag, but not all at once! You want uncluttered photos.
Lighting
Inadequate light ruins a lot of photos. Outside light is best, ideally at dawn and dusk. Remember not to shoot into the sun. Inside shots are best near a large window. Otherwise you will need good artificial lighting. There are a few problems with using the camera flash. It can cause red or green eyes when the light hits the back of the eyes. Red eye reduction is not helpful as it uses a second flash by which time your cat will have moved. The flash also tends to scare cats. If you must use it, you want the flash as far from the camera lens as possible. If possible, turn the flash away so it's not pointing at your cat. If you can't do this, cover the flash with tissue paper to soften the effect.
Movement
If your cat is on the move, a fast shutter speed is helpful. Most digital cameras have a sports mode designed for moving action. If your cat is a fast mover, a fast shutter speed allows you to take a quick series of shots.
To avoid blurred shots, steady the camera by bracing the it gently against your forehead, pushing your elbows into your ribs and holding a shallow breath just before you take your photos.
Close-ups
Get up close, at cat or even mouse level - this will give intimacy to your shots, and put you in your cat's world. You may need to get on your stomach or knees. The cat should take up most of the space in your shot.
Cats look different from different angles. Take facial close-ups, full body shots, three-quarter body shots and action shots.
Background
Avoid distractions and clutter in your photos - use simple settings like a large patch of grass or a well-lit room with pale walls and plain carpet. Avoid couches, televisions, tables, lamps, wall hangings and such in the background.
If your cat is light-colored, try to have a dark background, and vice-versa. If necessary, hang a cloth as a backdrop. Be careful of background objects that appear to stick out of your cat's head (or rear-end). Only include background objects if they add to the photo.
Now I strongly suggest you spend time looking at good and bad photos. Articulate why the poor ones don't look so good. Is the object of the photo too small and far away? Is there too much background distraction? Is the lighting poor? Then look at some of your good photos or from my website. Why do you like them? Put it into words and you can start to transform your photographs.

Eating With Allergies: Forget Those Cardboard Food Substitutes And Enjoy Nearly Normal Food Again!
Another common problem we share is finding food that actually tastes good. There are plenty of food substitutes out there on the market, but unfortunately, they are either far too pricey or they don’t even resemble the real thing in flavor or texture. There is hope though! Don't think you have to resign yourself to a life of bland “special” foods anymore, and forget about enjoying meals, both at home and out!
As someone afflicted with celiac disease, an autoimmune disease which causes a severe reaction to gluten (one of the most common ingredients found in Western foods), I’ve struggled with finding food that will keep the painful and embarrassing symptoms at bay, but still tastes good enough to serve to others. Fortunately, since awareness of food allergies and intolerances is on the rise, you can benefit from fabulous recipe experimentation done by others who share in your restrictions. There are great resources available now in book form and on the Internet for nearly every gustatory limitation.
Here are some of my easy tips for gluten-free eating:
• Avoid mixes and recipes which use too much rice flour – it makes the food taste gritty and leaves an aftertaste.
• Add dairy or soy yogurt to your recipes for moist, non-crumbly baked goods.
• Applesauce is a great fat replacement that has the added benefit of holding your gluten-free goodies together.
• Be sure to check ingredients for hidden gluten – as an example, Rumford baking powder is gluten and alum free, while Calumet is not.
• Many cooking and baking sprays also contain flour, so check cans carefully while shopping.
You can also take steps to enjoy social eating again. Many restaurants and catering services are now making accommodations for food allergies and gluten intolerance – don't hesitate to ask your neighborhood food businesses whether they would offer choices like this. If you take part in business luncheons, it’s a good idea to let the meeting planner know about your intolerance ahead of time. Chances are, they’ll be happy to make accommodations when they know in advance what to expect.
For parties and social gatherings, why not offer to bring a dish to share? You can introduce everyone to gluten-free or allergy-sensitive food, and you’ll know there will be something at the event you can eat, so you won’t feel awkward or left out. Dealing with food allergies and intolerances takes a little bit of extra preparation, but it does not have to restrict your life.

In order to prevent your cat from developing any serious skin conditions, you can make a little more effort during grooming to check up on your cat’s skin. Run your hand gently over his body and explore the skin for any unusual patches, if you found any, part the fur by brushing it slightly, so that you can see beneath the fur and have a better look at the skin. If you do this often enough and understand your cat’s body, you would be able to spot any irregularity easily.
It is common for cats to develop skin related conditions and illnesses. And listed below are the main one that affect most cat breeds.
Cheyletiellosis in cats is caused by skin mites and is particularly contagious between cats as well as humans. In cats, the symptoms are itching and it usually results in heavy scaling and flaking of the skin, which is why Cheyletiellosis in cats is popular known as “walking dandruff”. This skin condition is usually not deadly and can be easily treated with the right medication once the condition has been diagnosed and confirm.
Alopecia in cats will cause hair loss due to endocrine disturbances, localized infections, or generalized illnesses. The condition can also be a result of stress. The symptoms included bald patches on the skin and can be accompanied by reddened or inflamed skin. Not a deadly skin disease, and with proper treatment, the fur would most likely grow back.
Acne in cats is a common condition and can be easily treated. Nevertheless, there are other skin conditions such as ringworm and mange whose symptoms are closely related to cat acne. Therefore it is still important to seek veterinary advice whenever you spot any cat skin problems and is unsure.

How To Clean Cat Urine, And A Few Tips For Removing Cat Urine Odours From Around The House
The main problem of removing cat urine odours and the cat urine itself (especially on soft furnishings and carpets) is that it is usually not detected right away.
If you do not find any places where your cat has urinated straight away then this is when the problem of that awful cat urine smell begins. If cat urine is allowed to dry it starts to form into crystals, these crystals are what makes the removal of the cat urine smell so difficult. You may think that you have done a good clean up job, but as soon as these crystals become damp or moist then they start to release that smell again. This is why it is so important to know how to clean cat urine thoroughly.
For one way of how to remove cat urine from small or light patches you can make an effective potion using one part distilled white vinegar mixed with two parts warm water. After blotting up as much of the cat urine as possible with paper towels, scrub the affected area with this mixture. Once it has dried go over it again this time with just warm water and then allow to dry thoroughly.
For cleaning old or heavily stained areas where your cat has urinated more than once, (this is very likely, as cats can smell where they have messed before even when you think you have done a good job cleaning it up, and they will urinate there again and again.) I would recommend renting a wet-vac machine from a tool hire store. These machines work like a vacuum cleaner, they force clean water through the carpet and then suck up the dirty stained water back into the machine.
When it comes to how to clean cat urine from upholstery you will have to be a bit more gentle. Dab the affected area with paper towels or a soft cloth to remove as much of the urine as possible. Using another soft cloth go over the area with your vinegar water mix gently rubbing in a circular motion working from the outside inwards. Again rinse with plain warm water and then dry gently with a hand held hairdryer.
Once any soiled area has been thoroughly cleaned and dried, I would recommend using a good quality pet odour neutralizer which you can buy from your local pet store. Follow the instructions carefully to avoid any damage to your carpets or furniture.
These are just a few easy steps to take on how to remove cat urine, and removing cat urine odours. A lot of these accidents could be avoided by potty training your cat, this may sound an obvious answer but you will be surprised just how effective and easy cat potty training can be. Just following a few simple training techniques could save you a fortune on cleaning materials, and of course you will no longer have to put up with that lovely cat urine smell.About the AuthorClick here to discover all you need to care for your cat http://www.buytryreview.com/recommends/cattraining

Help Living With A Cat And A Cat Allergy
First, most people who say they are allergic to cats are really not allergic to cats at all but instead to their saliva. Because cats groom themselves regularly, their fur is covered with this dried saliva, or dander as it is called.
Since cats also shed regularly, their fur, which is coated in dander, is left where ever they may go in your home. It may settle in the carpet, on couches and drapes. Every time you clean this fur and dander is stirred up in the air, making your allergy symptoms worse.
If you find discover you have a cat allergy, the best idea is to keep your cat outside. If this is not possible because the animal is declawed, there are a few things you can do to make your life less miserable because of allergies.
First, you might want to limit your cat's roaming to only one or two rooms of your house. After petting or playing with your feline, wash your hands thoroughly, especially before touching your face or nose. Also, never allow the cats to sleep in your bed with you.
Next, there are several ways you can help reduce the amount of cat dander that stays in your home. You might think about replacing cloth curtains or drapes with plastic or wooden blinds.
It will also help if you remove the carpet from your house and replace it with linoleum, hardwood or tile floors. These changes mean you can clean your home better and get rid of more cat dander. While these actions may be costly, they are worth the effort for those who really love their cats.
If you can't replace your carpets because you rent your home or apartment, there are still several ways to clean more cat dander out of the existing carpet. First, there are new vacuums with extra powerful suction made specifically for removing pet hair from carpet, rugs and upholstery. Certain air filters and air cleaners can also help to cut down on the amount of dander floating in your air.
Another suggestion is to try is bathing your cat, or having him bathed, on a weekly basis. Although your cat won’t like this idea that much, the weekly bath may help to cut down on some of the dander on the fur. Another option is to have your cat shaved.
While this may sound strange, many veterinarians' offices offer this service for less than $50. Cats with less hair will understandably have less dander. An added bonus is that they will also shed less and have fewer hairballs.
Finally, you might consult with your doctor to see if he can suggest an allergy medication that might with your cat allergy. He may suggest allergy shots, a prescription strength allergy medication or even an over-the-counter allergy treatment. You and your doctor can work together to find the best solution for your particular cat allergy.

Although you may have the good intention of boosting your cat’s health with cat liquid vitamin supplements or Brewer's Yeast, it's important to know what vitamins your cat lacks before administering them
Should your cat fall ill, there are many healthy options available to boost your cat's immunity to combat disease. Supplements are also readily available and help improve your cat’s coat and skin as well as boost the general well being of your cat. However as with any other treatment or care, it is essential to consult your vet before you give your cat any supplements.
It would be useful to give the vet a detailed record of your cat’s daily diet to help ascertain what vitamins your feline might be lacking in. The vet would be able to make a more informed clinical analysis on what ails your cat.

Cat Behavior - How To Avoid A Cat Bite
Have you ever settled into bed or nestled into the couch and who should appear but your precious cat? She situates herself within hand's reach and you start to stroke her addictingly soft fur. She is appreciative, emitting a rhythmic purr. All of sudden, after a stretch of time has passed; your cat suddenly bites your hand. You are puzzled as to why she would react in such a way. For some cats, this is their means of communicating that they have had enough petting. This is not always the case – other felines remove themselves from the action or slowly wander away.
Some owners are appalled the first time their cat has bitten them and want to make sure the act doesn’t occur again. In most cases, there are signs that a cat gives to warn of an impending nip or bite, but often an owner is unaware of what each signal means. For instance, when the tail of a cat begins to twitch with a rolling flick motion, a bite may soon follow.
The ears of the cat are also quite telling. When they begin to turn towards the back or become flattened against the head, she is letting out a warning. If your cat appears restless, stiffens her body, or begins to stare at your hand, these are also signs that a sharp attack may occur.
When any of the above signs presents themselves during a session of stroking, it is suggested to stop the petting and allow your cat to remain positioned beside you or on your lap, jump down, or walk away when they feel ready. Whatever they decide to do, biting doesn’t have to become one of the options.
If your cat bites you, it never pays to punish your pet for the action. Not only does it not work, but also many cats start to equate punishment with your presence and don’t even consider biting as a bad behavior. As hard as it may seem, but if you have missed the cue that a bite is coming, the proper way to handle the situation is to not pull the hand away or push the cat aside. Freezing is the best solution because often, a cat will not puncture the skin if they feel their message was received in full. Their aim is to stop you from petting them, not to cause intentional harm.
Some cats revert to aggression for a many number of reasons. They may have inherited the behavior through genetics or learned the conduct as a kitten. Owners who allow their kittens to chew on their hand during play have learned that it is OK to respond in this manner when they have "had enough" of the stroking and warning signals have been ignored.
Some owners have found ways to make petting a more enjoyable activity for their cat by using treats as incentives to encourage a lengthening of their tolerance.

Is Your Cat Misbehaving? 4 Tips To Understanding Your Cat
When your cat, whether it's an Abyssinian or a Turkish Van, starts misbehaving, it can cause serious damage. From ripped curtains to urine-stained bed sheets, a cat on the rampage is hard to handle. Unfortunately, many owners give up on cats with behavior problems, but there are steps you can take to help your cat grow through or out of them.
To learn how to stop your cat from misbehaving, keep reading for 4 key tips on how to understand your cat.
1. Take your cat to the vet for a complete physical.
Sometimes a behavior problem can actually be a physical problem. For example, a cat that's urinating in strange places may be suffering from an illness or an infection.
Your vet can also offer suggestions and advice for problems that are behavioral.
2. Check the house for environmental factors.
Sometimes the solution is simpler than you think so check around the house for environmental factors that could be wreaking havoc on your cat's disposition.
For example, litter box problems are typically the source of rampant or improper urination. First, check where you're keeping the litter box - is it next to a loud appliance or in a heavily trafficked area of the house? Just like you, your cat wants a private and quiet place to do its business. You can also try a covered litter box, which most cats, particularly longhaired cat breeds, tend to prefer.
Next, try switching out the litter that you're using. If you're using scented, try unscented and if you're using non-clumping, try clumping. Some cats are just picky about their litter.
Finally, make sure the litter box is being cleaned frequently enough. Just as you wouldn't want to use a dirty toilet, your cat also wants a clean litter box. Also, make sure there is at least one litter box per cat as cats prefer to have their own.
3. Look to your other pets.
Sometimes problems with other animals in the house, like an aggressive older cat or a constantly chasing dog can lead to behavioral problems. Much like the child who acts out after being bullied, your cat may be dealing with those issues in the same way.
Always introduce new animals into the house slowly, keeping them separated from one another, but still able to smell and hear each other. Once they've gotten acquainted, let them co-mingle. If you're trying to deal with an existing problem, try using baby gates to keep your cats or pets separate from one another for a few days. This separation can help reduce anxiety.
4. Consult a professional.
Expensive and sometimes a last resort for many pet-owners, a pet behavior specialist may be able to help you and your cat work through your problems. According to the listings provided by the Association of Companion Animal Behavior Counselors (ACABC), a private behavior 1-hour consultation can cost anywhere from about $50 to $500, but most hover around the $70-$100 range.About the AuthorCS Swarens is the president of Find a Pet Online. 800 998-7065 For additional information on dogs, cats, birds, horses, and exotic pets visit the internet's pet resource including pet classifieds at http://www.findapetonline.com/.

Does Gourmet Cat Food Really Taste Better
"premium cat food" or "gourmet cat food", and people are beginning to wonder if these more expensive brands on the market are actually worth all the hype, and of course the money. These gourmet cat food brands are meant to taste more lavish than the traditional brands of cat food found in the average supermarket. Gourmet cat food sales are increasing at a pretty alarming rate in an industry that is consistently evolving to produce higher quality products.
One of the primary reasons why there is such an increase in demand for these products is because consumers are looking for cat food products that are closer to the quality of home prepared foods. Current research is supporting that inferior ingredients in cat food can be detrimental to the health of the cat; more and more people are looking for healthier alternatives. Many gourmet cat food brands are touting the ability to provide high quality, natural cat food products based on ingredients that are more wholesome than traditional commercially prepared foods.
Every year we seem to see an increase in cat disease, obesity and other serious issues which can now be rectified to a degree by the healthfulness of gourmet cat food products. Most gourmet cat food products come in smaller packages which tend to discourage over feeding in order to fight obesity. These small packages are attractive both to consumers who are looking for dietary management, and for those who are looking for convenience when feeding their pets.
Many cat food brands, like Purina for example, offer a variety of different types of gourmet cat food, these include "Fancy Feast" and "Gourmet Gold" for example. These brands claim to be restaurant quality, and come in a variety of different types and choices. The obvious benefit to the pet food company is that they can demand a higher price for these luxury cat food products. This is by putting increased care into the design, presentation and manufacturing of the cat food, the company can fetch increased profits. Because consumers know the products are of a higher quality, they are generally willing to pay more.
There seems to be an implied understanding that the higher price means the higher quality when it comes to cat food products. This is not completely true, because gourmet cat food is not always offering a healthy balanced diet. Common brands of cat food can still create a balanced and healthy diet when mixed with the right ingredients. Cat owners should not assume that the gourmet brands are necessarily better.
Instead, they should consult their veterinarian to appraise which brand and food is ideal for each individual cat's needs. This is the most ideal way to determine which type of cat food will best suit their needs nutritionally. While improved taste may be the greatest feature of many gourmet cat foods, gourmet cat food does not necessarily mean it contains improved nutrition.About the AuthorDerek Rogers is a freelance writer who represents a number of UK businesses.

Many cat food brands, like Purina for example, offer a variety of different types of gourmet cat food, these include "Fancy Feast" and "Gourmet Gold" for example. These brands claim to be restaurant quality, and come in a variety of different types and choices. The obvious benefit to the pet food company is that they can demand a higher price for these luxury cat food products. This is by putting increased care into the design, presentation and manufacturing of the cat food, the company can fetch increased profits. Because consumers know the products are of a higher quality, they are generally willing to pay more.
There seems to be an implied understanding that the higher price means the higher quality when it comes to cat food products. This is not completely true, because gourmet cat food is not always offering a healthy balanced diet. Common brands of cat food can still create a balanced and healthy diet when mixed with the right ingredients. Cat owners should not assume that the gourmet brands are necessarily better.
Instead, they should consult their veterinarian to appraise which brand and food is ideal for each individual cat's needs. This is the most ideal way to determine which type of cat food will best suit their needs nutritionally. While improved taste may be the greatest feature of many gourmet cat foods, gourmet cat food does not necessarily mean it contains improved nutrition.About the AuthorDerek Rogers is a freelance writer who represents a number of UK businesses.

Cat Medication - How To Give Medication To Your Cat
If the cat medication is in pill form then try crushing the pill (you can do this between two spoons) and mixing the powder in the cat's food. Sometimes the cat will sense that something is not quite right and ignore the food so try maybe giving them something different for a change which they may perceive as a treat. Also wet food is easier for disguising the powder.
If the cat medication is the form of a capsule then break open the capsule and sprinkle the contents into the cat's food as above.
If the above techniques fail to work, then talk to your local pharmacy or vet and see if they would prepare the medication in a special flavored gel or liquid which your cat is more likely to consume.
Other techniques require almost forcing the medication down your cat’s throat. You can buy what is usually called a 'pet pillar' which is quite simply a plastic tube which you insert into your cat's mouth and drop the pill or capsule so that it goes to the back of the cats throat. Some of these come with a fancy trigger mechanism which shoots the pill or capsule into the cat’s mouth. You can also try doing this by hand without the pet pillar but you may find the cat will struggle and not open its mouth for you.
If all else fails then I can almost guarantee that this final technique will work but most cat owners hate to do this. Pick the cat up with one hand by grabbing the loose skin/fur behind the neck (sometimes described as grabbing by the scruff of the neck) and then tilt the cat's head backwards so that its mouth is facing upwards. You will find that this temporarily paralyses the cat with its mouth open making it easy for you to drop the medication inside. You then simply lower the cat's head and let go of its neck. Usually it will swallow the medication with an instinctive reaction. The reason why many cat owners do not like to do this is because they think they are hurting the cat in some way and get very frightened when it goes motionless when tilting the head back - but believe me thecat does not feel a thing and is much better that struggling to force the cat's mouth open in any other way.About the AuthorFor more information and articles on cats and cat health visit http://www.aboutcathealth.info/

People who own cats may come across this question very often. Well, the answer is yes. Imagine a cat causing damage to valuable articles at home such as glassware, the sofa set, electronic items such as DVD player or computer.
The owner may run wild even at the thought of the cat doing this. Hence, it is essential to train cats so that they become familiar and get used to the environment around them. For the human-cat relationship to last long, it is recommended for owners to train their cats with extreme love and affection.
Bases Of Trainability:
Cats show their own interest in particular things. Cats like nutritional food and do activities that refresh them. Recreational activities may include watching squirrels climb the tree, pouncing on passing toys and finding out the things hidden in the cardboard box, left in the center of the living room.
Cat owners know that cats are curious by nature. They like to examine things around them, especially new things. They smell it and sometimes even sleep on it. To help a cat overcome shyness, the owner may move a catnip mouse across the room to catch the attention of the cat. This will draw the cat nearer to the object and help get over the tough task easily. This helps the cat to mix up with other members of the family quickly.
In the wild, cats tend to work alone. However, when they become part of a family, they rely on their owners for their usual tasks such as eating and bathing. This way cats develop an eternal relationship with their owners and other cats as well. Cat owners need to train their cats on normal activities and things such as relaxing, playing and eating.
Cats have the habit of playing, scratching and rubbing their body against objects. Many cats jump, look from the windows, sleep in many places and hang out with their owners in certain locations.
Some cats run back and forth in a house for no reason. Here, the activity can cause damage to the furniture. If the owner troubles the cat, the cat may raise its claw in self-defense. Several institutes engaged in training pet animals do their bit to bring abilities of pets at the forefront. Owners may take some time out of their busy schedule to visit such institutes for the betterment of their cats.

Dogs and Cats, Training Eternal Enemies to Co-exist
Dogs and Cats. Eternal enemies, right? Through proper dog obedience training you can teach your animals to live together.
The first mistake that most pet owners make when introducing their pet dogs and cats is to allow them to make their own introductions. This is a mistake! As I stated above, these two species are eternal enemies. You can’t just set one down near the other and expect great results. (Ok, I know that can happen and does happen, but my job here is to teach you about dog training. My version of training calls for prevention with dogs and cats rather than creating a problem and then being forced to fix it. As Mom used to say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.) There is a good deal of prevention that should be used before allowing your dogs and cats to co-exist.
Whether you are introducing a new cat to a home with a dog or vice versa I want you to start out the same way. Start out by using your trusty dog crate. Put your dog in the crate and allow the cat to be in the same room. There are several possible outcomes to this action :1. Your dog shows complete indifference. This is ideal. If your dog behaves like this you will have a quick transition.2. Your dog shows fear. This is not ideal but it will make the transition easier than some other outcomes.3. Your dog shows nervousness and anxiety. He whines, he paces in the crate, paws at the door of the crate, etc. This behavior tells you that he wants out. There is something about that cat that is exciting and he wants to know what it is.4. Your dog shows overt aggression. He barks, claws at the door of the crate, and he knows exactly what he wants to do with that cat. This is going to be the toughest dog to train, but it can be done.
For the first few days don’t let your dogs and cats near each other. Keep the dog in the crate. This doesn’t mean you need to keep him in the crate 24/7. When you want him out of the crate just make sure that your cat is shut off in another bedroom to avoid contact. What you hope to accomplish with this action is to train your dog to be indifferent to the cat. You want your dog to view the cat as ‘background noise’. The cat is inconsequential, the cat doesn’t matter, there is nothing interesting or exciting about the cat. In other words, your dog is safely tucked away in the crate and casually observes the cat move around the house. For categories 1 and 2 this will be simple. It will take no more than a day or two for your dog to think of your cat as just another 'thing' in the house. Categories 3 and 4 will take more training and time.
For categories 3 and 4 you need to attach a negative association to showing cat aggression. To do this, get a spray bottle. Fill the bottle with either plain water, water mixed with lemon juice, or for very stubborn dogs, water with vinegar. At this point, your dog is still tucked away safely in the crate. The next part of training will be conducted while you are sitting near the crate, ready for action. The instant your dog shows aggression (barks at the cat, claws at the door, whines in frustration, etc.) toward the cat spray him in the face with your spray bottle. Every time he shows aggression spray him with the bottle. When he isn’t showing aggression give him soft praise, “Good boy”.
Make sure that your dog never gets a chance to show aggression toward the cat without having a bad experience. This means that you must always be ready with the spray bottle or make sure the cat isn’t near the dog. If you aren’t vigilant and your dog has the chance to show aggression with no adverse consequence, you are training him to show cat aggression.
If you are consistent with this exercise you will soon notice that your dog will show less and less aggression while in the crate, it just isn’t worth the squirt in the face for him. You are on your way to getting your dogs and cats to co-exist.
When your feel comfortable that your dog is indifferent to the cat move on to the next step. As I said, for categories 1 and 2 this is probably one or two days after beginning the crate training. For categories 3 and 4 get your dog to the point where he is indifferent and maintains that attitude for several days if not a week.
The next step is to get your dog out of the crate and get those dogs and cats together at last! You are going to move slowly, though. Put your dog training collar and leash on your dog and make sure that he is always wearing it around the house. Keep your dog near you and allow your cat to be in the room. If your dog makes any move whatsoever to chase the cat, bark at the cat, or perform any of the stereotypical behaviors that dogs and cats do, give him a very strong correction with the leash. You want this leash correction to be a very memorable one so it must be very strong. You want to form a very negative association toward cat aggression.
Be consistent with this training. If you do this properly you will notice that your dog has less and less of a desire to chase after or bark at the cat. As you notice your dog changing his behavior give him more and more freedom by allowing him to be closer to the cat and further away from you. Eventually you will phase out the use of the dog training collar and leash.
Even if your dog isn’t showing aggressive tendencies, never let him chase after the cat in the house, even playfully.
Even some of the hardest to train dogs will respond to the above method. There exist, however, certain dogs that have such strong prey drive that only drastic measures will cure them of their desire to chase and kill cats. For these dogs I employ an electric dog training collar.
Read the instruction manual on proper fitting for your electric dog training collar. With a stubborn dog that needs an electric collar the method is simple. With the collar on his neck and turned on to a high level of stimulus you are going to correct your dog every time he even looks at the cat. As your dog even sneaks a glance at your cat press the button to deliver the correction. Don’t say ‘no’, don’t react in any way, just correct him for looking at the cat. Do this as many times as it takes. Let’s examine this from your dog’s point of view. He wants to get to the cat, wants to chase, wants to kill. But the very act of looking at the cat causes him pain. You don’t tell him anything so he doesn’t associate the correction with you. He soon will learn to believe that the cat is ‘evil’ and he had better not even look at it because it the act of looking causes pain.
As with all training, you must be very consistent. Your dog must never have a successful chance to even chase or want to chase the cat. Be consistent, though, and soon your dogs and cats will be able to co-exist.
The first mistake that most pet owners make when introducing their pet dogs and cats is to allow them to make their own introductions. This is a mistake! As I stated above, these two species are eternal enemies. You can’t just set one down near the other and expect great results.

Cat Behavior Mystery: Does Your Cat Really Bond Inclusive of You?
Cat Behavior Mystery: Does Your Cat Really Bond Inclusive of You?
1. Question single, are cats really capable of bonding with us humans?
2. challenge two, pardon can we perform, as desperate cat lovers, to encourage our cats to in actuality bond inclusive of us?
thus in this article, allow's have a specific look at what perhaps be accomplishable answers to these two profound-rooted questions that encompass been bugging cat lovers, moreover others alike, intended decades!
As an extra bonus, you'll moreover gain various rare hints into how to better connect inclusive of your cat active a day to day basis.
before we get into any techniques, we truely need to check the absolutely scenery of a cat's essence, their souls if you will, to propose us some clues to answer these questions on cat psychology also their relationship to us humans.
while you have an animal that's been inclusive of humans intended overhead 5000 years, there ought to be something profound that the humans, as fine as the cats, are aquiring out of this relationship. something that's keeping them concurrently intended so long, also negative doubt intended eons to come!
imagine, in affirm the 365 day term 3000, we may have technology to voyage through universe in luxurious aircraft, moreover of route, one of the primary things that persons will desire to bring with them is their favorite register, favorite composition, also... their cat!
but why is this so? thither should be a level of bonding midway cats moreover humans that is yonder that of many dissimilar animals, that make us feel so attached to them, craving to share our life experiences inclusive of them... because our feelings inform us that these feelings goes together ways.
but is this truely the incident? perform cats use us intended food moreover warmth mainly? otherwise is thither a level of feeling overdue the cat behavior that's active a higher smooth than that, also resembles the feelings that we encompass for them?
These are valid questions. allow's first have a glance at our human emotional responses to our cats.
while humans primary met cats, it was presumed to be at a camp fire. This is not proven, though it is a powerful possibility.
Why a camp blaze?
fine cats adore warmth also undoubtedly couldn't resist sitting surrounding a man-made camp fire. thus they sat, appreciating the warmth, moreover moreover might have ascertained they don't encompass to track for. also next the humans was before attracted to their cuteness. more likely, it was their kittens that may encompass clinched this bond. As while interacted, they would encompass exposed cute playfulness, moreover when nursed, would snuggle up.
currently the confront is whether a cat can have snuggling upwards and playfulness lacking the emotions of tenderness moreover enjoyment?
We'll come back to this into a moment. allow's take single more instance from memoir.
It was documented 5000 years past that cats was before domesticated in together Egyptian culture as fine as Indian culture at roughly the equal time. into actuality, intended term of overhead 2000 years in Egypt, thither was such respect also admiration intended the cat, that the penalty intended some person killing a cat, was death.
throughout this term, a Roman soldier accidentally killed a cat also was almost lynched by a crowd who witnessed this event. This transformed into a political conflict, also is thought to be single of the events that led to the conflict between Egypt moreover Rome!
thus, the humble cat have caused wholly this! An animal causing persons to be irrational overhead them.
but, does the cat reciprocate our feelings? One example that perhaps assist us inclusive of this challenge is since Jeffrey Masson, who wrote The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats. among his many examples of bonding is where he discovers that his cats will put upwards inclusive of aquiring soaked, just to be inclusive of him:
"similar to most cats, mine do not similar to drizzle. yet while Leila, Ilan, Manu also I walk up the forge in the evening in the rain, such is the cats' devotion that they come inclusive of us... it is yonder challenge that the cats are doing rather because they desire to... moreover, seeing as they stroll in the drizzle only while we are thither, not continually alone, the adore of our companionship should be a powerful unit of their pleasure..."
It gets even improved. The strength of our bond in fact increases depending on the length that our cat's vary of behavior and emotional responses matches our emotional requirements. some people who truely love attention seeing as their cat, moreover craving the teeming gamut of personality, perform find heaven, moreover thus does the cat, while they have for instance, a Siamese cat that is capable to show a strong craving to lie active their laps intended comfort each night, scamper around related to crazy meantime they play inclusive of, also is moreover slightly neurotic also anxious while there is too greatly happening...
So thither's some provisions for contemplation for you.
You've currently got some profound insight in how cats really feel concerning us, moreover how cats might indeed have deeper feelings concerning us that are closer to our own feelings regarding them than we previously realised.
watch elsewhere intended piece two of this object, which will be coming presently. into that piece, you'll discover specific ways to capture your cat's attention moreover affection.
nevertheless, intended right now, be aware of your emotions when you're regarding to talk otherwise unmoving look at your cat. If you craving to inform him rather similar to "thither you are, I'm glad to view you!", perform so with your reacting, moreover it will come elsewhere in your vocal sound, body language moreover tons of dissimilar clues that we're not unmoving aware of. Your cat is sensing your thoughts also feelings absolutely acutely.
This is precisely where bonding starts...
also the magnificence of it is, that one time the bonding starts, you can't stop it…it just keeps aquiring better.

2. challenge two, pardon can we perform, as desperate cat lovers, to encourage our cats to in actuality bond inclusive of us?
thus in this article, allow's have a specific look at what perhaps be accomplishable answers to these two profound-rooted questions that encompass been bugging cat lovers, moreover others alike, intended decades!

before we get into any techniques, we truely need to check the absolutely scenery of a cat's essence, their souls if you will, to propose us some clues to answer these questions on cat psychology also their relationship to us humans.
while you have an animal that's been inclusive of humans intended overhead 5000 years, there ought to be something profound that the humans, as fine as the cats, are aquiring out of this relationship. something that's keeping them concurrently intended so long, also negative doubt intended eons to come!
imagine, in affirm the 365 day term 3000, we may have technology to voyage through universe in luxurious aircraft, moreover of route, one of the primary things that persons will desire to bring with them is their favorite register, favorite composition, also... their cat!

but is this truely the incident? perform cats use us intended food moreover warmth mainly? otherwise is thither a level of feeling overdue the cat behavior that's active a higher smooth than that, also resembles the feelings that we encompass for them?
These are valid questions. allow's first have a glance at our human emotional responses to our cats.
while humans primary met cats, it was presumed to be at a camp fire. This is not proven, though it is a powerful possibility.
Why a camp blaze?
fine cats adore warmth also undoubtedly couldn't resist sitting surrounding a man-made camp fire. thus they sat, appreciating the warmth, moreover moreover might have ascertained they don't encompass to track for. also next the humans was before attracted to their cuteness. more likely, it was their kittens that may encompass clinched this bond. As while interacted, they would encompass exposed cute playfulness, moreover when nursed, would snuggle up.
currently the confront is whether a cat can have snuggling upwards and playfulness lacking the emotions of tenderness moreover enjoyment?
We'll come back to this into a moment. allow's take single more instance from memoir.
It was documented 5000 years past that cats was before domesticated in together Egyptian culture as fine as Indian culture at roughly the equal time. into actuality, intended term of overhead 2000 years in Egypt, thither was such respect also admiration intended the cat, that the penalty intended some person killing a cat, was death.

thus, the humble cat have caused wholly this! An animal causing persons to be irrational overhead them.
but, does the cat reciprocate our feelings? One example that perhaps assist us inclusive of this challenge is since Jeffrey Masson, who wrote The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats. among his many examples of bonding is where he discovers that his cats will put upwards inclusive of aquiring soaked, just to be inclusive of him:
"similar to most cats, mine do not similar to drizzle. yet while Leila, Ilan, Manu also I walk up the forge in the evening in the rain, such is the cats' devotion that they come inclusive of us... it is yonder challenge that the cats are doing rather because they desire to... moreover, seeing as they stroll in the drizzle only while we are thither, not continually alone, the adore of our companionship should be a powerful unit of their pleasure..."
It gets even improved. The strength of our bond in fact increases depending on the length that our cat's vary of behavior and emotional responses matches our emotional requirements. some people who truely love attention seeing as their cat, moreover craving the teeming gamut of personality, perform find heaven, moreover thus does the cat, while they have for instance, a Siamese cat that is capable to show a strong craving to lie active their laps intended comfort each night, scamper around related to crazy meantime they play inclusive of, also is moreover slightly neurotic also anxious while there is too greatly happening...
So thither's some provisions for contemplation for you.
You've currently got some profound insight in how cats really feel concerning us, moreover how cats might indeed have deeper feelings concerning us that are closer to our own feelings regarding them than we previously realised.
watch elsewhere intended piece two of this object, which will be coming presently. into that piece, you'll discover specific ways to capture your cat's attention moreover affection.
nevertheless, intended right now, be aware of your emotions when you're regarding to talk otherwise unmoving look at your cat. If you craving to inform him rather similar to "thither you are, I'm glad to view you!", perform so with your reacting, moreover it will come elsewhere in your vocal sound, body language moreover tons of dissimilar clues that we're not unmoving aware of. Your cat is sensing your thoughts also feelings absolutely acutely.
This is precisely where bonding starts...
also the magnificence of it is, that one time the bonding starts, you can't stop it…it just keeps aquiring better.
thus pardon are you waiting intended? get elsewhere there and start bonding!
