How to punish a cat

It is important to understand that, for example, tearing wallpaper and furniture is natural behavior for a cat.

Instead of yelling at your cat because of torn wallpaper, make or buy him a scratching post and train him.

Training should be based on rewarding desirable behavior and ignoring undesirable behavior.

The main thing is to never hit your pet, no matter what he does.

Not only will physical punishment not solve the problem, it will also cause stress to the cat and make the behavior worse.
