Keep their claws trimmed

Teach them not to claw things by removing them from what they are clawing while saying No in a stern voice

Provide scratching posts or mats in several places

Take the kitty to the scratching post or mat immediately if he/she uses an inappropriate place to scratch

If retracted while sitting on your lap ( or on feet as kittens do while playing ), end the attention by removing them

Name 5 tricks you can train a cat to do

Talk to it in calming, soothing tones (even if it's doing something "bad" - you don't want to make it even MORE anxious - in this case, just gently pick it up if you can to move it to another location away from whatever the bad thing was, or if you can't pick it up, gently scoot it away from there - hands placed on the haunches or near its bottom, not underneath if they are being upset about that area)

Play some classical or "new age" music at low volume. Nothing with a heavy beat. (This also works when taking a car trip.)

Use a diffuser or aerosol that has feline "happy" pheromones, such as Feliway brand (if an aerosol, be sure to spray it away from the cat and preferably not in the same room as the "hissing" sound may make the cat more anxious).

If s/he will let you, bunch or tuck a soft blanket around her/him, or have a box or bag (NOT a plastic or one made from recycled bottles grocery bag, but the good old paper one) or one of those "crunch" tunnels, and just let them hide away in their "den" for a bit.

Last but certainly NOT least, the old tried-and-true method...petting while talking in the aforementioned soothing voice. Often this is the best remedy of all...they just need comforting...just like any of us who's ever had a bad day.

List 5 beneficial ways to deal with a cat who's being a complete "turd".

I think you need to define "complete turd" here!  
  

1.  For biting cat:  say "NO" or "OUCH"  or loudly HISSSSS  and walk away.

2.  For bullying cat:  separate bully and put in a different room. Maybe go through reintroduction if the problem is a new cat.

3.  For cat waking up in the middle of night demanding food:  feed late at night, leave out some kibble, keep bedroom door closed.

4.  For cat with litter box avoidance:  take to vet for medical check up, especially for UTIs

5.  For cat making wild dashes for outdoors:  start leash training and take for walks.

Name five cat breeds with long or medium long hair.
