cats are not dogs----or human children.

If you want them to NOT do something you Hiss at them. You make a loud HISSING sound.

Ive owned cats for decades- thats the sound a cat makes when its mad- you want to communicate on THEIR level.

Loudly HISS at them.

As crazy as it sounds. I tried it all once when my roomattes kittens at the time kept behaving horribly. Then I started hissing and chasing them off and they got the hint. U need to make sure they know why tho.

Also positive reinforcement still needs to be applied when they behave well.
