Behavioral problems in cats, such as avoiding the litterbox, excessive meowing and other attention-seeking behavior, biting and painful or destructive scratching can be corrected by first eliminating physical causes, then instituting a program of gradual retraining, with the help of these resources. Remember that there are no bad cats, only uninformed cat caregivers.

Try to deal with one problem cat behavior at a time. Too many "dos" and "don'ts" will only confuse your cat and frustrate your training attempts. Start with the most potentially hazardous problems first

A cat breed is defined by a breed standard which describes the cat's physical characteristics in detail. However, characteristics such as color, pattern, or hair length alone do not define a cat breed since most breeds include cats with a wide range of these characteristics.

A documented ancestry is what makes a cat a member of a specific breed. In fact, less than 1% of cats worldwide are cats of a specific breed. Most cats are simply varieties of the species Felis domesticus.
