I’m a new cat owner and have learned the meaning of persistence from the beast in my home.
Just remember that cats don’t really learn from negative reinforcement. You’ve got to reward the behaviors you want from them with treats. They don’t have the cognition to associate punishment with the action they were just doing, they only see it as an attack of some kind.
Well since my cat runs away whenever I come near after he has done something bad and doesn't want to get sprayed by the spray bottle, I think he is just intentionally an asshole.
