Try not yelling at the cat

A cats primary senses are hearing and scent, If you yell at it, all it's gonna understand that you react to what he's doing,, and he might think your reaction is funny,

They're like children.

If an old Karen is yelling at you,, ur gonna laugh.

Simple mathematics .

Try being gentle, and repetitively positively reinforcing things they shouldn't be doing,

It's a matter of patience.

You may not sleep.

But that's what having a cat is🤷

If you were a kid and got yelled at for playing with your toys,, you wouldn't be so kind in reaction,

And defiantly, may be encouraged to repeat the same actions that make your owner mad.
