I have used corporal punishment -I've been trying that for months. They just get angry and louder. Pretty sure I have mutant cats lol.
my most favorite cat (Simon) was a long-haired rescue cat. He was not socialized at all. I'd be petting him and suddenly he'd 'spook' and would just grab my arm and full on claw. I mean, he wouldn't let go when I shook my arm (people encouraged me to try a spray bottle and I was like, sure. I'll walk across the room with the cat clawed into my arm to retrieve a water bottle). When I shook him off, he'd fall to the floor - still on his back, claws extended. I bled (really, it was bad).
I hit him.
He stopped after about a year or two? And he slept with me every night. I loved him and his death still makes me sad.
Anyway, not endorsing violence, per se, but sometimes you do need the right adversive
