Remember that cats are independent beings. They don't like being told "no." You may be angry if they tell you "no". You should not hit your cat if he/she does wrong. Although your cat deserves love and affection from you, it doesn't mean that you should treat him/her as a human being.
If you suspect that your cat may have some issues, then it is best to work together to fix them. Talk calmly to your cat. Don't shout at him/her. It can make your cat feel awful if you yell at her/him. Also, your cat can't be forced to eat. Sometimes your cat will not eat what you offer. You should offer treats to your child when this happens. Overeating could result in overeating.
It is important to keep your cat clean. Wash him/her thoroughly every day. Use a moist cloth to remove dirt and dust. Check to make sure your cat is free of fleas. Flea bites cause skin irritation and even allergies. If you notice any signs of fleas, then you should use a special shampoo to remove them.
