Sometimes our pets start to be naughty. How, without punishing him, to accustom him to the word "no", so much so that he would understand?
Do not rush to take up slippers or other "sticks", everything can be solved with "carrot". Cats, like dogs and many other animals, are very intelligent. For starters, don't clean up the mess your pet has made. He must clearly understand what he is being punished for. Take your cat, preferably by the withers, and place it next to the crime scene. You do not need to beat, just poke your nose into the ground from under the flower or torn wallpaper. Nerve endings are located on their nose, and with these actions you are already causing discomfort to the cat. While showing her her sins, repeat the word "no" out loud. A couple of minutes will be enough. Then you can release the "prisoner".
After about five minutes, if the cat did not come to this place, give her a treat. This will cheer her up a little. After a while, you can take the cat again and do the same with the word "no". You can repeat these manipulations several times. The cat will remember that uncomfortable and painful sensations are associated with the word “no”. Next time, if you see that your cat is about to turn up something, just say "no". I am sure she will understand everything correctly!
Don't think that everything will work out the first time. Even people need to repeat it several times, and for cats, do indulgence.
Important! If you hit the cat, especially on the tailbone, it will start to shit anywhere. You can damage her kidneys even if you don't punish her as hard.
An important role is played by your attention to your pet. Play with him and communicate more often, so she will not have a reason to play with extraneous things. If she tears up the wallpaper or sofa, I recommend buying a scratching post. I understand that it is expensive, but a cat is like a small child requiring care.
