I hiss at mine, works 90% of the time. He just wanders off doesn't seem to upset him and gets the point across

This is what I do too. I speak their language and they understand it perfectly.

[-] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 9 points 4 months ago

Ooh, yeah mine gets confused every time I'm dusting out my computer with compressed air lol

When mine end up beating eachother up because it's raining or idk maybe it's Tuesday, I pick up the one who likes being carried and plonk him down in another room. Otherwise there aren't really any things that they do (in my presence) that warrant stopping.

Staring straight at you whilst shoving something breakable off a ledge is the only sort of thing that typically warrants a spritz, imo. Itโ€™s not a good method to change behaviour (hissing is best for that, since thatโ€™s how they reprimand one another), but for blatant disrespect, a spritz will work โ€“ so long as itโ€™s an in-kind reaction to shock, and so long as good behaviour is a bit over-rewarded afterwards (as if to say letโ€™s do this good thing instead). It can be effective to get their attention, though.

The overwhelming majority of cats arenโ€™t actually dicks, they usually have a reason for acting out, even if it isnโ€™t obvious to us. Itโ€™s best not to be adversarial with them unless necessary, because they have a large emotional repertoire, including vindictiveness.
