I have had many different pets over the years and I’ve treated them like they were precious every step of the way. I love to spoil my pets and cook them home cook meals from time to time, love bonding and playing with them to make them feel comfortable with being themselves and to get them to just love me lol there has never been a moment where I’ve had to discipline my pets by means of hitting because it’s just not a humane thing to do to any animal no matter how angry you may get it’s just not right, all it takes is a few moments of timeout in a quiet place and they will learn from there on out. Love is key, show that and trust that they really do understand.
