Positive reinforcement is a good way to discipline a cat who always misbehaves. Be sure to reward them with treats and extra cuddles when they display behaviours you want to encourage such as scratching the post instead of the sofa or using their litter tray. When your cat misbehaves you can redirect their focus by providing an alternativeactivity, like offering them a toy or wand-wobble instead of scolding them. Another approach is consistent redirection — teach your cat simple commands like "drop it" and "come here" and practice these commands whenever they take an object away from a drawer or attempt to go upstairs. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement your cat will start to understand what behavior is expected of them.

An effective way to discipline a mischievous cat is to provide positive reinforcement for the behaviors that you would like to see more of, such as responding when called and playing nicely with other cats or animals. Additionally, you can introduce behavior modification techniques such as redirection and temporary timeouts. Redirection involves offering the cat an alternative activity when it displays inappropriate behavior and can help shift attention away from problematic behaviors. Timeouts involve allowing the cat some solitary confinement in a room separate from where it is not allowed to play or interact with humans until it calms down.
