What to do if your cat starts behaving badly: don't hit or yell

Some cat owners face a problem when their pet does not behave as they would like.
Cats may not obey their owners, play pranks, react inappropriately to what is happening, etc. Let's try to figure out what to do in such situations.
First of all, it is worth remembering that cats' temperaments are not as flexible as, for example, dogs', so behavior correction will most likely be accompanied by difficulties. But it is definitely worth a try.
Punishments must be reasonable
If you hit or yell at your cat, it will only increase the stress it experiences. The best punishment is deprivation of some "good", for example, communication. Try to ignore the guilty pet, and do it demonstratively.
Important: the ban should not extend to food or freedom.
Be consistent
If you have banned something, that's it, there is no way back. If the ban has not become a rule, you risk losing your authority in the eyes of your favorite.
Be patient
You should be patient with your pet's personality traits - it is quite possible that you will have to put up with some of its habits.
Eliminate stress factors
Stress in a cat can arise, for example, due to obsessive attention. You can solve the problem by buying a special cat house - this way he will have his own territory where he can hide from others.
