    Cats need to be trained if you don’t want them to do something. Keep some spray bottles around and use them right when they do something you don’t want. Make sure to have clear rules on behaviour beforehand and that they are enforced by everyone in the household.

      Usually some positive enforcement works as well

      And show them, when you don’t like something, but a spray bottle is harsh

      My 2 little ones are only allowed on some parts of the balcony (because they could fall down)
      If they do stupid things, they just lose their balcony privileges

      If they do something stupid inside, they’ll get locked out of the room (usually 5mins is enough) and they’ll learn it after time

      The best way to train cats is to get them to love you as well. They don’t want to be separated or you being sad/angry with them.

      No need for harsher stuff
