It's probably easier to find something smelly the cat hates (Like a vapour rub), and place that where you don't want the cat to go.

- fao_ 10y agoI understand that this is taboo, but I am utterly baffled as to why I lost karma for this. Creating a system to traumatise a cat is objectively more harmful than making areas you don't want a cat to go repulsive to the cat. I've seen the latter method work beautifully with nervous cats, kittens, older cats, etc. Whereas I would have reservations about using the former method with those types of cats because it serves to be startling and traumatic to a cat.
- bduerst 10y agoI didn't downvote, but it's probably because you were splitting hairs on what is more of a Rube Golberg solution to an obviously simple problem. Not many people are taking it that as a serious cat training solution.
