Anyone use the spray bottle deal? With my other cat I was just able to glare at her and if need be, hiss or clap and she would stop whatever offense she was committing. But with the kitten, argh... it's just like having a little kid. He knows he's not supposed to be doing whatever it is and will actually even hesitate sometimes when he hears a stern "No!" but he usually proceeds. I have been experimenting with spritzing him with a water bottle and it sometimes sends him running from the room (I think it's more just an excuse for him to run around like a fool), a lot of the time, he'll just stand there like, "Damn, I'm wet, oh well..." and then proceeds to continue with whatever he was doing. He's not intimidated by noises so hissing or clapping in his general direction doesn't phase him. I will scruff him and remove him from the offense, no luck. Eventually it ends up with a shut door or him in time out.
Tell me this phase will pass?? Or give me some suggestions on how to more appropriately discipline him/get through to him what "No!" means.
Thanks much
