Having a positive experience with each social interaction is essential in providing your kitten with the confidence in dealing with future situations as they grow. Getting your kitten used to socialization, or in some ways, “desensitizing” your kitten is exposing her to sights, situations, scents, sounds, and other sensory inputs. The more social interactions and activities your kitten is a part of, the calmer she becomes. There is the likelihood of her responding to certain situations with little to no aggression and fear as she grows.
Socialization activities are good opportunities to teach your kitten what is the correct behavior and what is the wrong behavior. Working with a kitten is like using a blank slate for writing. There are no pre-existing problematic behaviors to address, making it easier for the kitten to learn and cooperate. Once a kitten gets separated from her litter and her mother, she will be eventually taken to her new home. When owning a new kitten, be extra mindful to improve her socialization.
A sudden change in your pet’s behavior should warrant a visit to your vet hospital East Dallas, TX.
