so i have this cat, and i have lucky bamboo branches. usually the cat would leave it alone except the past 3 days where it snapped each branch each day. i have no idea how to train it to not do it. ive slapped its paws before and scared it but he keeps doing it. anyone have training tips or ideas to keep it out of the bamboo branches?

Usually an assertive "No" works, you just have to be really consistent, or he'll just do it behind your back.

We usualy filled up one of those spray bottle things with water and just sprayed a tiny bit of water on the cat when he did bad things, and he stopped.

People might find that cruel, I dont know, but our cat has lived for 14 years now, and is really enjoying staying in our house, and it seems it loves us pretty much.

yeah whenever i sleep, he does that. i have no way of spotting him. i held him by the bamboos and just slapped his paw, he used to do this often then stopped and now he is doing it again.

Well my dogs for what I learned is what SonuvBob said. A "No" will and can work. The shitty part about it is that they(pets) will tend to go find something else to fuck with. I got two dogs and man they dig holes like a motherfucker in the back yard and I will fill the holes back up with dirt and tell them "No" plenty of times and they will leave that hole alone and dig up another hole somewhere else. Right now there's a hole about 2 feet deep that they just dug up. Fuckin pets.

Oh yea I heard this method works very well. But in my case my dogs are in the backyard and well im not back there 24/7 so this solution doesn't help my case much.

Try to get him to play a ton before you go to sleep (til he gets worn out). Or just block off the bamboo. :p

Afaik negative feedback only works when they're actually doing it (or when they're just about to, that really fucks em up.. "how did he know?!!")

You're gonna have an extremely hard time trying to train a cat. It's almost impossible. I heard mothballs/cyan pepper works well as a deterrent.

the water bottle is a good idea but that only works(too) if the cat is DOING it no? the bamboo is next to the window and he likes to sit at the window and watch squirrels birds and cars...

Cats are really difficult to train because they don't look up to humans as masters. Basically you have to make the negative stimulus more powerful than the positive stimulus. Put something near the bamboo that would deter him from even being near there.

water bottle could work as well.

I've been spraying my cat with a water bottle for years now when he tries to get food off the counter. He's mostly just like 'sup bitch.'

Can you bring him to the bamboo and spray him if he does it? Or would he just walk away from it?

No, i find this ok. It doesnt hurt the cat and it definitelly works. I did it on one of my old cats too. I laso had one where we tried blowing him in the face every time he did something stupid, which eventually also worked.

Screaming at a cat will never work though. It will just make it dislike you and become unsocial.
