Reply #40: Liquid discipline on most cats is right

[meow2u3]

Water-based discipline of felines is counterproductive with semilonghair breeds originating from very cold climates, e.g., Maine Coons, Norwegian Forest Cats, Siberians, etc., or Turkish Vans, who are called the Swimming Cats. They think it's a game because they not only developed water-resistant fur, they're also smart cats who learn quickly when you're about to pull out the squirt device and prepare themselves beforehand.

One other drawback: liquid feline discipline only works on cats when humans are around. The best discipline is to set up noisy kitty "booby traps" and set them up in places off limits to them. Most cats, except for a few geniuses, will soon get the message that they're not allowed to do such a thing.
