Feeding them milk

Cows' milk is too low in lipid and protein and too high in lactose. This isn't the best drink to feed them because most cats are lactose intolerant just like humans. They don't have the proper enzymes to break down the lactose and will end up vomiting or having bad diarrhoea.

Treating them like a child

Cats are very independent animals and don't like to be cuddled to the extreme. If they want your companionship they will come to you otherwise it's best to just let them roam about.

Punishing them

It's normal for pets to damage your nice belongings but punishing them isn't always the best decision especially for cats. To be honest, cats couldn't care less if you are yelling at them.

Not cleaning the litter tray
