    I use a nickname for my youngest cat when she’s doing something bad. Now I only need to say that name, and she instantly knows to stop being a little gremlin.

        Lol. My cats name is Pepper/pepper-jack/ghost pepper…ect, but when she is in trouble, I just say, “PEP!” and she 80+% of the time stops almost instantly and then zooms away howling at the injustice she couldn’t climb in the bug tank or eat plastic or jump on the fireplace mantle and knock stuff off. I’m hoping she will mellow out in another year.
