How not to punish a cat

Firstly, physical punishment and shouting are prohibited. This can only make the cat's behavior worse.

You shouldn't lock your cat in a room either, he will meow heartbreakingly and scratch the door.

Moreover, after a couple of hours of misbehavior, punishing the cat is simply useless: it will not remember why.
