how can i stop my cat from whining and other bad habits?

Question

Everytime someone has food in my house, my cat whines like crazy for it.How can I break her of this ANNOYING habit!I never give her any, so that way she doesn't think that whining will get her food everytime.But she still whines!


She also crawls up my curtains.?How can I break her of this habit too?

Answer 1

Anytime she is caught exhibiting behavior you don't want, spray her lightly with a water bottle in the face. She will learn to stop.

Answer 2

for the whining thing you can 1) spray her with water whenever she whines (this can backfire like it did with my cat who now loves to play with water) or 2) pick her up by the scruff and pat her on the nose and in a deep voice tell her NO!!
for the curtain thing you can try putting tin foil underneath the curtains so when she walks over it she wont like the sound it makes and will stop

hope this helps

Answer 3

If she whines pick her up, pet her and then take her to another room. For the curtains, a spray bottle of water is in order or a loud clap of the hands.

Answer 4

I would recommend putting her in another room and shutting the door while you are eating. She'll whine for a while but she'll figure it out.

as for the curtains, look into soft paws (www.softpaws.com) they are fake nails for cats, and she won't be able to get a good grip on your curtains. Or you could always take the curtains down.. :)

Answer 5

She might desire to easily be an outdoor cat, cats wont runaway they arent like doggies, while she needs to return returned in she is going to return returned, you additionally can positioned butter on her ft, it is going to circulate away her fragrance on the floor around your house so she will appreciate a thank you to come back residing.
