Be aware- a stern NO works, but punishment absolutely does not work with Cats. Some people have problems with using verbal scolding, and find that a squirt bottle works better.
I make more of an "angry noise" like a low, loud growl- or a very loud "ah ah ah!" if I catch them doing something. In the cats that I've fostered/house trained, it's worked better. :twocents: Sometimes supplemented with a squirt bottle, but you don't always have that handy.
If they start pushing their luck with something they know is a no-no, a warning "snarl" is a good reminder for mine.
Call me weird. I've had a lot of experience in this, and done a lot of research, and this is what I've found.
/steps off soapbox

a good "SSSSSSSSSSSSS" seems to work too

LOL! and it works, doesn't it?
Also, the "game show wrong answer buzzer sound" works well - for dogs too

That may be similar to my "ah ah ah" noise. :hmm though it's more akin to a Goffin Cockatoo.....

I come back and everyones making weird virtual sounds! Lol. HAHAHA! :rofl: I think I'll try the "SSSSSS" and the "ah ah ah ah"!!!

:D The cockatoo noise works very well for me.

LOL! Well I'm picking him up in a little while, so I will post pictures up. Don't know what I'm going to name him, but I will figure it out. :D

how exciting! can't wait to see pix, and hear more about him!

Well it looks like he's part Siamese, fluffy and he's cream colored, very light orange on his ears and light orange rings on his tail. He's such a cutie, but he's been sleeping so I haven't been able to try to take pictures.
