OK from this question you can tell I'm a very new kitten owner. - How do you tell a Kitten off? When my dogs were pups we would growl (like a dog) to stop them doing something bad or dangerous. This worked amazingly well as it is what their Mums would do. (growl at something bad, high pitch squeek if they are too rough).
Last Night Cosmo the cat was leaping from the arm of a chair trying to get onto my dinner plate. I tried 'NO!' and moving him away, I tried my best dog growl, I tried NO! and praising him when he did something good immediately afterward - All good Dog tricks but no good for Cosmo?
My husband suggested hissing but that doesn't seem right? What do you suggest?
