Your little kitty is now used to her home and you. So, now she is doing things she should not be doing. How do you train her? I use a squirt bottle (with water) and tell her no. In a firm voice but not one to scare her. I also do not squirt her, but get it close enough that she knows there is water in there. This is working very well for me.

You're lucky. My two don't take a blind bit of notice of me. My latest battle is keeping them off the kitchen worktops. They're winning so far!

Please NEVER EVER use water to squirt your cat in the face or otherwise, when a kitten comes to your home he/she will be very scared leaving mum/dad, and its up to you to teach her that you are her new parents and will keep her safe, not scare the life out of her by chucking water in her face if she is 'naughty'

remember your cat has NO idea what you want and its up to you to teach them but not by using water!

Maybe an alternative should be advised??

Rather than a reprimand

If advice was being asked for then ,yes,perhaps an alternative could be suggested.I read the OP to be a statement of what they do to "train" their kitten.I agree with TB. you should not spray a kitten with water as a method of showing them what it is they are doing that you do not want them to do.

I agree also but the op says "how you train her?" I took it as a question for alternative ideas!

I think this is an example of one of those "internet conversations",when you cant read the body language it is hard to tell what is actually being said .We appear to be reading this differently.I see it as "how do you train her?" "you use a water bottle." A statement rather than a question ,possibly.Either way it is wrong to squirt a kitten with water.

Out of interest, how would people recommend helping train your cat/kitten?

I'm trying very hard to persuade my cat not to attack my feet (playfully but painfully with claws and teeth!) at any random time of the day - currently by saying "No" firmly and then walking away for a few minutes, before coming back and engaging in some active play with toys. Is this a reasonable course of action, or are there better ways I could be doing this?

Don't think she actually sprays her, just basically the noise puts her off? Like shaking a jar of pennies or something.
