First and foremost, it is important to make sure you are providing enough exercise and companionship to your cat. Spending quality time with your cat can help reduce incidences of negative behavior as their main source of stimulation. If that doesn't work, the next best option would be to use corrective discipline techniques. This involves delivering a brief correction—such as redirecting or redirecting attention - when your cat displays inappropriate behavior such as clawing at furniture or attacking items around the house. Additionally, using devices such as citrus oil sprays or vinegar-soaked cotton balls can also be effective at reducing mischievous behaviors without harming your pet.

There are many effective ways to discipline a mischievous cat. One way is to redirect bad behavior, so that instead of undesirable activities, the cat gets rewarded for desired ones. Another way is to use physical corrections such as brief and gentle swats on the backside. Avoid punishing your cat harshly as this can cause long-term stress or aggression; however, it is acceptable to firmly interrupt undesired behaviors in order to help the cat associate what it’s doing with unpleasant consequences. Be sure not to neglect consistent praise or treats when your cat does something good either; positive reinforcement can go a long way in training any animal!
