Cats are notorious for being cold, aloof, and cautious. Common cat scratching, urine spraying, meowing, and refusing to go to the bathroom can and should be resolved with immediate training. Education sometimes has to include a sweet and hard discipline. Your cat may have a urinary blockage or urinary tract infection. Similarly, a cat that suddenly starts scratching at window frames may be responding to a new stressor in her life. If you can eliminate or correct the underlying cause of this behavior, there will be no need to discipline your cat.
