Handle an Energetic Cat

Are you one of those owners who just got a cat that you love soooo much except she's completely wild? If you are, this article will help you tame your out-or in-door cat for only a few dollars. This means: no trainers, no expensive foods, and most of all no hurting your cat.

Play
Play is the most important thing that you will do when taming your cat. You may think of play as a reward but really it is just getting her energy out and better the toy than you or the couch.
 * 1) Go to a general store. Try a dollar store or basic local store. You don't need to go to Pet Smart or anything like that to get at toy for your cat. Some very important toys are: [[Image:Tame Your Crazy Kitty Step 1.jpg|center]]
 * 2) *Interactive toy ( a mouse attached to a string attached to a handle that you hold) Cats like the furry ones.
 * 3) *5-10 styrofoam or plastic balls.
 * 4) *Super balls
 * 5) *Paper bags
 * 6) Some optional toys that are useful are:[[Image:Tame Your Crazy Kitty Step 2.jpg|center]]
 * 7) *Feathers
 * 8) *Small furry mice
 * 9) *Windup or electric toys
 * 10) Play with your cat at least 1 hour per day. Half in the morning half in the evening.[[Image:Tame Your Crazy Kitty Step 3.jpg|center]]
 * 11) Make sure that you have everything else that your cat needs. Even if you have more than the bare necessities there are some things that your cat must have.[[Image:Tame Your Crazy Kitty Step 4.jpg|center]]
 * 12) *1 more litter-box than number of cats. Example litter box to cat ratio 3:2
 * 13) *At least three scratching posts. Place these in different areas of the house.
 * 14) *High perches. Whether it's a cat tree or a shelf cats need somewhere to survey their land.
 * 15) *A safe house. Your three year old niece is coming. Give your cat somewhere safe and do NOT bother them when they are there. (If you have multiple cats give them different safe spots and make sure that they only go in their own.)

Tips

 * Go slowly. You could slow down the process a lot if you go too fast.
 * Kittens can be easier or harder to tame so be wary.
 * Take it slow. If you rush Fluffy she won't like it.

Warnings

 * If the cat gets aggressive back off and leave it alone for a while.
