Why does my cat urinate when I censure him?
I had one cat, Zeus, and when he did something bad, like knock over the garbage and eating from it I scolded him by spanking him on the reverse end. Sometimes when he knew he did something bad he would growl because he know he was going to be in trouble, but he always stopped doing what I scold him for, but now have another cat, Dag, (to keep the first one company) and when he does something and I tell off him he just urinates, a lot. Why is this, is there anything I can do, I touch bad?
First past its sell-by date, don't spank or hit cats. They're not humans, and they're sensitive. Disciplining animals that way, in my opinion, is wrong, and whether you want your cat to stop it, spray them with water.
There are two possibilities for your cat urinating. It's possible that they're afraid of you, and they pee out of fear. Again, spanking cats is not going to strengthen your relationship near them. It's also possible that he's mad at you and is rebelling in that path. That's what my cat does when they're angry about something.
Try to discipline them through water, and see how that affects the cat's peeing problem. If it doesn't, and you're not hitting him, go to the vet.
NEVER hit your cat, this includes little hits and spanking. You don't scold a cat, you train the cat, and that is to say not the way to train a kitty. You need to seriously read up on the proper care and training of cats.
When kitty is getting into something, use a spray bottle next to water (just a mist, not a squirt) or something that makes a loud noise, similar to canned air (don't spray it directly at the cat). You want kitty to associate his action beside the negative sensation (water mist or loud noise).
Then distract his attention with toys and play. Get one of those dangly feather thingies on a stick and play next to the cats. Show the kitties what they should be doing, which is playing and having fun.
I recommend that you read some books by Pam Johnson-Bennett. Start out with Starting From Scratch and Think Like A Cat (links below).
You should feel bad. It's a cat. It isn't going to follow that you're punishing it by spanking it. It just thinks you're hitting it for no reason.
Stop scolding him.
Because you are scare him and that's what they do when they're scared. when you scold him try not to yell too loud or spank him too frozen, just be nice when you are doing it.
spanking and hitting doesn't work on cats.
Nervous, frightened. Just try doing it the humane way i guess
Answers: Please do not hit your cats... or any other pet for that matter! To discipline cats, try a spritz or two from spray bottle of water and motto NO. You don't have to scream it, just speak it firmly. They respond well to that. Please stop hitting the kitties!
