Never directly punish your cat, whether you plan on tapping their butt or using a loud sound.
Longtime dog owners who adopt a cat for the first time may be shocked to learn that training a cat to behave isn't as straightforward as with their canine cousins.
For starters, Hauser told Insider that directly reprimanding your cat could have unwanted consequences.
"Cats should never be directly punished, verbally or physically. Where some owners will clap their hands, stomp their feet, or jingle coins in a can to teach a dog that their behavior is unacceptable, this method will backfire with a cat," said Hauser. "Cats are highly sensitive to loud noises and raised voices, finding them scary. They can perceive the person making these noises as a threat, and will begin to avoid them."
If your cat is displaying behavior that you find unacceptable, it might actually be perfectly healthy behavior that simply needs an appropriate outlet.
For example, cats who are constantly leaping onto countertops and tables may benefit from having a cat tree or dedicated high perch so that they can see what is going on around them.
And cats who like to scratch may stop destroying the furniture if given a scratching post or a toy they can sink their claws into.
