A cat that likes to sink the fangs into the skin when it
feels constricted. If this happens, a flick of the middle finger at the cat's nose will work, IF one is brave enough to take full measure at the feline retaliation.
When using the human leg for a "tree" to ascend, flicking
at the fore paws in a vigorous manner for a short, intense time, proves to the cat, that jumping is required to come up and lie on the same plane as its human companion.
Cats DO ADAPT. But, they DO have be TAUGHT.
This establishes two things:
A: that the behaviour is unacceptable to the
human.
B: That human retaliation is swift, sure, and telling. The cat is
merely
TESTING the limits of the human’s degree of pain, and ascertaining
the style opposition the human administers
