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. Itโs not a good method to change behaviour (hissing is best for that, since thatโs how they reprimand one another), but for blatant disrespect, a spritz will work โ so long as itโs an in-kind reaction to shock, and so long as good behaviour is a bit over-rewarded afterwards (as if to say letโs do this good thing instead). It can be effective to get their attention, though.
The overwhelming majority of cats arenโt actually dicks, they usually have a reason for acting out, even if it isnโt obvious to us. Itโs best not to be adversarial with them unless necessary, because they have a large emotional repertoire, including vindictiveness.
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.
