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
