cats are usually independent creatures, don't your cats go outside or are they indoor only? punishing your cats severely wont make them behave, it'll just make them terrified of you and refuse to go near you ever again.
i do suggest stopping their bad habits however, such as chewing on wires, as it may be a pain for you but it is also potentially dangerous for the cat who coukd get electricueted.
sit down with your family and tell them to react negatively when they chew on wires, a stern no and a light smack on the bum usually deters them, but your entire family has to do this because otherwise it wont work. if your family still refuses tell them that the wires are dangerous and can kill a cat.
i don't agree with the other things you've stated, especially the part about holding a cat by the tail. it can cause serious damage to them, and it can lead to fractures or broken tails.
i understand that not everyone is a cat lover, but that doesn't mean you have the right to torture or harm an animal. they basically have the minds of young children, they can't think like you. as the more intelligent being you should understand this and refrain from lashing out.
A spray bottle is a good way to train a cat if you have it in hand while they are in the act but don't hold its head under the faucet.. would you like it if your parents held your head under a faucet when you did something they didn't like! All your doing is making them afraid of water and not teaching them not to perform the unpleasant behavior! A good wack will scare them off from it too but remember cats are only around 10 lbs. so if you do decide to wack their backside make sure it's not extremely to rough.. never grab them by the tail either.. all you will do is cause the cat to not like you and may start to lash back! They don't understand what they are doing is unacceptable and they certainly don't speak fluent sentences.. they may learn words here and there like a dog but they can't understand don't chew on the wires! You gotta keep on them if you catch them you gotta choose something like spraying them with water to get them to understand if I do this I'm gonna get sprayed!
Is it normal to hate cats and punish them for acting out
