Over the 5,000 years of domestication cats have changed very little. They are still the same structure, size and maintain the same natural instincts. Often these natural instincts can be difficult to deal with in a home environment, yet there are over 90 million of pet cats in the United States alone. Sadly, many are relinquished to shelters only to have a sad ending. They don’t have to suffer and neither do you.
· Cats love to jump and climb. Unfortunately, they often jump up on shelves, knocking off breakables, or climb curtains.
· Cats are always hunting. Unfortunately, they will do so on tables and counters; beg at the table or steal food from a plate.
· Cats are very territorial. Unfortunately, they mark their territory with urine and feces creating a smelly mess.
