Behaviour

Make a factual behaviour log for a veterinarian or trainer, with safe management while the pattern is assessed.

Choose one observable action, mark it clearly, and place the reward where the next successful repetition can begin.

Door barking is often predictable excitement, not malice. A clear routine around bells and visitors helps more than loud reactions.

Noise fear rarely disappears through pressure or argument. Safety, distance, and calm support are usually more helpful.

Scratching is normal cat behaviour. The useful question is not how to forbid it completely, but where to redirect it successfully.
