Finn typically only acts out when he is in a really wild mood. If he is doing something naughty and I clap my hands, he zooms away as fast as possible with his tail held high. If he could speak, I'm pretty sure he would be cackling maniacally. He will quit what he's doing but he definitely has no regrets about it.

"we have a rescue coming in tonight"
I had run across his story in your thread 'Possible Stray' and I was hoping to find more about him. How is he doing?- Thread Starter Thread Starter

Today Cucumella sitting on my desk while I was busy with the computer tried to call my attention pawing me gently as she usually does but this time I got one of her claws on my hand. When I cried out "you naughty girl you have hurt me" and showed her my hand she started to lick my hand chirping away. Funny how she often reacts licking me when I scold her.
Charlie backtalks. He never did learn to meow properly, so when I tell him "No, get down!" he gives me a resentful squeak. If he's mad enough, he'll go after my legs.

Most the scolding done in our home is when the boys scold me for either interfering with their activities or not being quick enough to meet their needs.
Both cats are sensitive, so we are careful to not over react........ and they are also usually well behaved.....although yesterday greg did lick a toad and started frothing at the mouth..... I think it was an american toad, not poisonous, but apparently they taste awful. Greg got his mouth rinsed and lots of water and treats to get rid of the taste.....hes ok now.......boys!

Ailish came to me very well behaved, but she does have her moments. I have never scolded her because she is very sensitive and I don't think it works for cats. She somehow knows what she is not supposed to do, because if I walk in when she is, say, scratching the sofa, she will sometimes scoot away very fast. Other times she will walk away with her "I'm just an innocent cat" saunter. I tell her there are no innocent cats.
Rocket doesn't do anything to really warrant a scolding and if she does do something she shouldn't she usually just needs a look to stop. Nightfury gets super cuddly when he gets caught misbehaving. Honestly, I think it is because he just wants attention.
Link. That one is a whole other case. I should say we don't really scold. He gets a sharp "Link! No!" sometimes but usually it is just a sharp look at what he is doing and a tisking. If it is him and Rocket playing too rough he looks sheepish and they both run into the other room (usually to start up quieter). If it is him being somewhere he shouldn't, like a counter top, he runs to a different spot and grooms his back in a "I didn't do it" way. If it is not coming when called, he rolls over "I'm cute" then goes limp as he gets carried where he was supposed to be which is usually at curfew time or vet visits. If it is a bite because you petted the tummy or he accidentally scratched you in play, he licks the hand after the injury like he is checking you are okay. He also likes to lick the hand when he is done being pet. If he is trying to go outside when he shouldn't, he sneaks and when you look at him he stops and lays down giving you a dejected look (but if you look away he will try again).

Here is another occassion they "helped".
Hmmmm... maybe i should scold them?
Yeah, like that would do any good
...No scolding, maybe a sign "Masterpiece in progress".
Seriously, these photos should be posted in the Cats "helping" thread in the 'Fur Pictures and Videos Only!' forum.

Apollo sprints out of the room 
He KNOWS when he is doing bad. I have since closed all the toilet bowls when I'm not using them but he had an unsavory habit of drinking out of them. Back in the day I would hear him drinking loudly and come in the bathroom to find him trying to hide behind the toilet cus he knew I would start yelling at him. Lol
