    PSA: Don’t spray your cats. It not only strains your relationship, it’s useless.

      Honestly the best thing that has worked for my cat is stern words and a finger in his face. He makes a “how dare you” face but stops doing the thing.

        I hiss at mine, works 90% of the time. He just wanders off doesn’t seem to upset him and gets the point across

          This is what I do too. I speak their language and they understand it perfectly.

    Accidents are okay, intentionally knocking them over is not. It’s very very obvious when a cat does it intentionally.

    For months after I first got my (rescue) cat, every time I took a shower, she would sit right next to the bathtub and cry the whole time. I always wondered if she thought I must have done something really bad.

      My cat is 12 and still does this.

      Comes in looks in the tub, starts yeolwing like I’m doing it wrong “you’re not supposed to be in the water, water bad!”

      No, she was just upset that you were wasting all that time grooming yourself instead of spending it more appropriately on things like petting her.

        Rightly so.

        Cats are the true rulers of a home. We are just their servants.
