As time goes by, a good way to get a cat to cease a behavior you don't want is to get a spray bottle which will allow you to adjust it to a straight stream. When kitty starts doing what you don't want him/her to do.....give them a squirt of water. Say nothing just like the move them maneuver Twitch mentioned.
They have no idea where it came from but they sure don't like it! It doesn't take long till kitty decides they won't do that because it means they'll get squirted.
Also, talk to them just like they're people. Ours respond very well to simple comments. The old boy, Chino, who passed away a couple months ago at the age of 19 understood us so well that we didn't even have to address him and he knew we were talking to him and what we were saying.
Our 2 adolescent boys (Claude and Wombat) are pretty good at it now at 9 months of age.
