November 29th, 2008 by john savage
When you are a pet owner it is usual to talk with other pet owners about training. You might want to train your pet to do various things and act in certain ways, but when you have a Maine Coon cat things are different. It’s all about training yourself, and not necessarily your cat.
Do you keep to a regular sleeping pattern, a set time to go to bed and a set time to wake up? Because you can be sure that your Maine Coon will be aware of this and will make sure you do not change your habits. In the evening he will make sure you go to bed when you should, and in the morning there is no chance of having a lay in, you’re Maine will get you up at the normal time.
The easiest thing for you to do as regards your pets dining habits is to stick to a set schedule each day. Try not to vary the eating times and you will find life a lot easier. They are indeed creatures of habit and they expect you to be also.
You will very soon discover that your Maine Coon cat is very particular in his habit of checking out on everything that you are supposed to be doing. This means in effect he keeps his eye on you just to make sure that you are attending to every detail both inside and outside the house. Visitors will be checked out to make sure that they are suitable friends for you, and all the other little details of everyday life will be carefully monitored.
Your Maine Coon must teach you how to walk with him, using a leash and harness. It is important that you learn the proper use of the leash and harness, so that he enjoys his walks. He expects to be invited on these walks on a regular basis.
We have spoken a bit about training and a lot of the training will have to be made up as you go along. For instance, you will soon discover that you must not allow easy access to things like toilet paper otherwise you may discover you have toilet paper all around the house! There are a number of rules to follow and you will have to learn them.
Space is something that is vital for your Maine Coon cat. Whether you’re sitting down relaxing in front of the television or whether you’re attending to some household chore your Maine Coon will want to be with you and so you must ensure that there is sufficient space for him or her to join you. You just need to remember that although you may think you own a Maine Coon, they actually own you!
