Questions & AnswersHi! I am Dr. Adrienne Mulligan, I own Camp Verde Veterinary Clinic, and I am here today on behalf of expertvillage.com to talk to you about cat obedience. When my cats were younger and I was just beginning to train them, it worked very well to use a spray bottle on them, and that includes couches and beds or any place else you don’t want them…curtains, they love to climb curtains, and so using a spray bottle from a distance is a really good way to do that, and they learn pretty well very early after they have not developed some bad habits. I did find that one of my cats kind of likes water, so then that did not work so well for him, but it worked well on my other one. Loud noises, that also helps quite a lot. The main thing about cats is the less they think it comes from you, the more effective it is. So if you can rig up noises, and things that happen, or sprays that they do not know you did because you are…even a long distance, you’ve seen in those long distance spray things for swimming pools, we had one of those, and that would work, as you could be way off and spray them from a distance, so they have no idea that it was us doing it. So the more you can do something that the cat does not know is coming from you, the more effective it is going to be.
