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.  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.

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

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.
