Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Sometimes you need a little help with your cat training, especially when your cat is resistant to other cat training methods and is engaging in dangerous behaviors like chewing wires or very undesirable habbits like spraying and scratching furnature.

Ssscat uses a motion sensor to activate the spraying of a cat repellent that is harmless for your cat, but they find it obnoxious and flee the area. The Ssscat spray nozzle is highgly adjustable and the sprayer is refillable.

Pros of the Ssscat cat training system:

- Effective for many cat behavior problems

- Operates unattended

- Safe for your cat

Cons of the Ssscat cat training system:

- It may freighten “scardy cats” too much

- It’s not free

Here are some Ssscat review quotes from Ssscat users courtesy of Amazon.com

“The Ssscat does what it says”

“While it worked great on one of my cats it didn’t deter the other at all from scratching”

“I bought it about 2 months ago and it has retrained my cat completely”

“We have owned the Ssscat system for a year now, and I can honestly say it WORKS!! Our cats HATE it”

“This product works exactly as advertised!”

“a bit pricey, but I’m willing to pay it because it is the only thing I’ve found that works.”

“Once the cat gets sprayed the first time by that puff of air, it will warily avoid the area”

Cat Training by Scruffing A Cat

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

Have you ever seen a mother cat discipline and unruly kitten? You can bet she doesn’t stand there and say bad cat. She grabs the kitten by the back of the neck and holds it down until the kitten calms down. This is called scruffing the cat. Scruffing can be a very effective means of cat training when your cat is getting out of control.

Cat scruffing should be reserved for those times when your cat’s behavior is totally out of control. A good example would be if your cat starts biting you during playtime. It is important to use good cat training to stop this type of behavior before it becomes habit.

You are going to play a mother cat, but you obviously are not going to use your mouth to hold the kitten down. However, you need to simulate the mother cat’s behavior.

Your cat training by scruffing the cat is accomplished with the following steps:

Firmly but gently grasp the cat by the loose skin at the back of his neck. This is called the scruff.

You will then firmly but gently hold the cat against the ground and make a hissing sound just like the mother cat would.

You will continue to hold the cat down until he becomes a calm. You can tell that the cat is calm when his body relaxes and he is no longer struggling to get away.

Once your kitty has calmed down you can release him and gently stroke or cuddle him to let him know he is safe.

Remember, one of many Training methods that can be effective and scrauffing the cat should only be used when the cat is out of control and when the scruffing can be done immediately after or during the behavior.
