Not hard tho maybe hard for them on thigh. Playful spanking not punishment. They dont get angry or nothing tho cat still purrs
Yeah that is pretty common. A lot of animals/pets like to be patted/spanked softly by their tails. Just be careful not to go too hard.
I have 3 cats n 1 dog, I spank them in play and they walk away n then come back for more, I do it every day n it seems like my pets like it.
I find that kind of odd but I mean if they don't mind it then they probably like it
Who in the right mind would want to cause pain to our animals friends especially a cat a dog> Why even think about doing such a thing: Don't is my advice to anyone contemplating it: Dogs can be trained with gentle persuasion and cat's likewise
You shouldn't spank a child either :/ For pets, use a spray bottle or a can full of coins (shake it at them, they hate the sound), or an even better option would be to try to figure out why they're acting up. For children, put them in time out, ground them, take away their toys (or door if it's a teenager, teenagers hate not being able to close their door), put them to work. There are so many more options other than hitting your children and pets.
So let's say someone you love, trust, and look up to is mad at you. In one situation they flick water at you to express their disapproval. In another situation they raise their hand and strike you. I've had, and lived with, many cats. Mine have gotten sprayed when they're being bad on purpose and they get the can shake when they're doing something that could put them in serious danger (like chewing on wires and I can't get to them). A roommate used to "gently spank" his cat when she was being bad. My cats have always loved me, my kitty is curled up in bed beside me right now. His once social cat would hide in my room under my bed whenever he was home after he started punishing her. I'm pretty sure water or loud noises are much less traumatizing than the person you love most hitting you.
Whether it be raising a hand or flicking water at another person or animal, the outcome will remain the same.
If the situation is between two humans, the best thing to do is to speak to the other person and let that person know what's up.
Because animals cannot understand us, the best thing we can do is to simply remove them from the situation. Picking them up and placing them somewhere else.
The thing with the water flicking is, although it may work in the beginning, later on that pet will start to get angry over it.
The noise thing is just not a good idea at all (if it is a loud noise) (if it's an irritating noise, rather than a loud noise, it might work well). Animals have extremely delicate scalas in their ears and it hurts and/or scares them. For example, Guy Fawkes fireworks.
I'm not trying to dismiss your methods, if they work for you then it's great.. I wouldn't use the aforementioned methods on my pets though. One of my dogs is extremely scared of that tssss sound that spray cans make.
My current cat doesn't get sprayed with water because he's good. He also doesn't get the coin-can shaken at him because he's lazy and never gets into anything (forgot to mention they're crappy plastic coins from one of those dollar-store play registers and it gets shaken from across the room, my bad). Of course I'd prefer to just remove cats from the situation, that's always my go-to. I can't speak too much about dogs, since I've only lived with two and they've never been mine. I only mentioned the spray bottle and can because some people feel a need to punish pets (then they shouldn't have pets) and I'd prefer they do things that aren't overly harmful than things that are. As I said, the spray bottle and can is my last resort, the spray bottle for if a behaviour is causing problems (ex. scratching the couch so much that the stuffing is coming out because obviously I'm not going to declaw them) and the can if the fluffy dumbdumb is about to hurt themselves.
