Instructions
Establish positive and negative behavior with your pet. When your cat does something good reward them with pets, praise, and sometimes nice little treats. Play with them. When they do something bad, ignore them. Do not speak one word to them. Cats will not listen to a word you say and shouting will not do any good. Depriving them of precious attention, however, will change their behavior.
Take a can and fill it with rocks. Any time the cat is doing something they shouldn't be doing, shake it at them. The loud noise will discourage them from acting.
Take a spray bottle and fill it with water. Cats hate water and once they do something bad it should only take a couple sprays to get them to stop. Next time they will think twice about their actions.
If the above method does not work, use lime juice instead of water. Lime juice is very bitter and cats hate it.
Never hit or yell at your cat. This does nothing. If anything, the cat will eventually attack you. Physical discipline does not allow a cat to learn from their bad behavior.
Place double-sided tape on the surface of a place the cat shouldn't be. They will get stuck in the tape and learn not to go up there. You may also spray it with a scent they hate, such as vinegar or lime.
