Kitten Behavior

Kittens! Why Do They Do What They Do

Usually, if a kitten is “ignoring” a command, he was either never really taught the command in the first place (many times people just start saying Come Here or Stop It! as if the kitten could automatically understand the meaning of their words) or the owner has not made it worth the kitten’s while to care about the command.

Consequences, not commands, control a cat’s behavior. Reward your kitten for behaviors you want to see more of.

I didn't train my cat using words, i trained them using sounds they don't like and a spray bottle.

It's possible. Watch his behavior. If he continues to try to eat non-edible items, he could have a condition called pica, for which he should see a veterinarian. There are mulitple causes of this disorder, but for solutions, see http://www.catchannel.com/experts/marilyn-krieger/- my-cat-eats-everything-in-sight.aspx
