Handle a Very Annoying Cat

So you have a cat that just won't behave! What are you going to do to deal with your so very annoying cat? Read on!

Steps

 * 1) Think: Is my cat hungry/thirsty? Does my cat have a flea? A cat is likely to be annoying because of the fact that it is lacking a necessity.[[Image:Handle a Very Annoying Cat Step 1.jpg|center]]
 * 2) Be stern. E.g. if s/he tries to bite, say "No!" firmly. Don't yell at your cat though, because he/she may start avoiding you, or being mad at you. By yelling at your cat he thinks you're confronting him and might defend it self accordingly.
 * 3) *If s/he's meowing a lot, try doing what he/she wants. Make sure you do it fast though or else it'll get on your nerves.[[Image:Handle a Very Annoying Cat Step 2.jpg|center]]
 * 4) Put him/her in his/her room for a time-out if the previous step doesn't work. If s/he stops his/her annoying behavior, praise him/her for stopping the annoying thing s/he was doing.[[Image:Handle a Very Annoying Cat Step 3.jpg|center]]
 * 5) If your cat begs for food, try putting an elastic band on the cupboard handle. It'll make a loud noise, then scold him/her.[[Image:Handle a Very Annoying Cat Step 4.jpg|center]]
 * 6) Tell your cat "No!" with a firm voice if s/he tries to eat anything inedible such as rubber bands, cotton balls, etc. Show the cat the object that is inedible.[[Image:Handle a Very Annoying Cat Step 5.jpg|center]]
 * 7) *Don't punish your cat or yell at it when it does something wrong. It may start to not like you if you do this. If it does something annoying, don't yell, just say "No," firmly.
 * 8) *Do not hurt your cat if it does something wrong. You may injure it and may not like you anymore.
 * 9) Avoid putting your cat up for adoption. While you may be extremely fed up with your cat and want to put it up for adoption because it annoys you, this approach is unhelpful, as it simply passes the problem on to someone else. Just because your cat misbehaves or is loud doesn't mean they don't love you.

Warnings

 * A cat is likely to be annoying because of the fact that it is lacking a necessity, so always check to see if your cat is uncomfortable. Cats do not talk!
