How to train a cat using a spray bottle?

Asked by Rememberme (661points) June 10th, 2009

My kitten is very frisky. He has a bad habbit of attacking feet and hands, chewing on tips of pencils while you write with them and trying to bite a page of a book, while I read it.

He has a scratching post and toys to play with. I also spend time throughout the day with him, playing. I know hes a kitten and hopefully soon he will learn the joys of sun bathing and sleeping.

I am trying to use a spray bottle to teach him that biting hand, feet, pens, and paper is a naughty thing. I trained my old cat that way with success. However with my kitten he seems not too bothered by the water. I end up having a kitten with a soaked head. I was thinking about adding a little bit of vinegar to the water to make it a bit more harsh. Any advice
