It is important to remember that cats are independent beings. They do not like being told "no". They may become angry if you tell them no. This is why you should never hit your cat when he/she does something wrong. Although your cat deserves love and affection from you, it doesn't mean that you should treat him/her as a human being.
You should work with your cat to resolve any problems. Try to talk to him/her calmly and gently. Do not yell at him/her. Remember that yelling makes him/her feel bad. Also, your cat can't be forced to eat. He/She loves food, but sometimes he/she just refuses to eat. When this happens, you should give him/her some treats. But don't give too many treats because this could lead to overeating.
Always keep your cat clean. Each day you should thoroughly clean your cat. Use a wet cloth to wipe off dirt and dust. Fleas should be removed from your cat's skin. Flea bites can cause skin irritation and allergy. Flea bites can cause severe skin irritation so you need to use a flea shampoo.
