Should kittens be spanked to protect their food?

It is natural for kittens to guard their food. It usually occurs after the cat is one month old. The phenomenon of food guarding will occur when the cat eats. However, it can be effectively improved or corrected if taught in time, so it should not be spanked. This is Out of animal instinct. The owner only needs to slowly and consciously train the cat and correct its bad habits.

The first thing is to build trust. When it is eating, gently touch its back from behind. It may guard the food and make a warning sound at this moment. You can touch its little butt, but during the whole process, be sure not to get close to the food it is eating in the bowl, otherwise the cat will attack you. After a few days of persistence, when the cat is eating, you can try to touch its belly, ears, and head. If you persist for a few more days, the cat will not react so violently when you touch it while it is eating.
