Time out for cats
When i was training my cat, Bruce, a wiley siamese, I used a technique called “time out” or “sin bin” when he scratched excessively. I didn’t use it often , in fact only twice in total, but it really did the trick. This involved separating Bruce when he had been difficult and putting him in the laundry without food or bedding for a few minutes. After he was let out he was neither rewarded or punished but ignored. Bruce is an attention seeker, and this was the worst punishment for him as it simply denied him the pleasure of being with people.
