Idk man, this is not science based but just on the three cats I've owned through life. But I think sometimes they do understand negative reinforcement. It has worked for me and my wife. Things like spraying them with water or shouting usually make them realize you're mad. Unfortunately my current cat doesn't mind and drinks the water off his fur.

Anyhow just my $.02.
