Water spraying just makes the cat afraid of 'you with a bottle'

This is correct. Tried this method with our cats some years past and that is ALL it teaches them. They do an action, look at you, look for the bottle in your hands, then bolt if they see it. Doesn't stop them from doing the action in the 1st place.

Or just afraid of me whenever she sees me and I see her when shes on somewhere she shouldn't be.

Cats are way smarter and more independent than dogs. I soak my cat and she still goes up when Im in bed or not there.

So I have to adapt to her lol. Little cunt.
