CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Spraying cats with water from a squirt bottle is not a reinforcement; it’s a punishment. Giving your cat a choice of ways to express his behavioral needs and then rewarding his use of the choice you prefer is the best way to encourage your cat’s “good” behavior.

Detailed explanation-2: -Don’t use a spray bottle: There is an old myth about using a spray bottle to redirect a cat’s bad behavior, but the truth is she likely doesn’t associate being sprayed with the bad behavior.

Detailed explanation-3: -Is Using A Spray Bottle On A Cat Cruel? Spraying a cat with a little water isn’t painful but it can cause some cats some mild anxiety. Still, I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s cruelty but that’s going to depend a lot on the individual cat. Some cats won’t care at all and a handful will even like it!

Detailed explanation-4: -Species appropriate punishment such as “hissing” or the use of punishment devices such as a water sprayer, can of compressed air, or hand held alarm are better than using any physical techniques since they are less likely to lead to fear and retaliation.
