Your cat is likely to push your buttons every now and then. From jumping up on the counter to not using the litter box, you’ve probably been tempted to drop or throw your cat in your frustration. Unfortunately, this isn’t a good idea.

Although you may feel like you’re teaching your cat a lesson, you’re actually teaching your cat that bad things happen when you pick him up. It will cause him to avoid being picked up by you in the future, even if it’s for a little attention.

In addition, your cat’s paw pads are extremely sensitive. Getting dropped or thrown is not only scary, it can hurt!

Instead, consider making a loud noise or using a squirt bottle. For more tips on properly disciplining your feline friend, contact your Vet Myrtle Beach SC.
