I have to say my cat is exactly the same however she's now 3 so she can hurt! However i hope this doesnt sound mad but i talk to my cat quite a lot the same kind of softness in the voice as if you were talking to a baby so when she does something bad or wrong i just raise my voice and say no or stop and then move away so she knows shes been bold! Believe it or not it works and i always have people remark on how obedient she is to my voice!! Try it
