We only scold her when we catch her. We don't scold her after the fact. We know that would have no merit. I have not tried the water bottle method with her, but used it many times with the other cat (she thought it was a game). This cat was so shy and timid from the start and has only in the past ye...

She absolutely gets greeting time. I don't think it is a protest. She doesn't only do it at those times, she does it right in front of us too, and then gets scolded. Like I said, I think it is a soothing thing for her, much like our other cat using the scratching post, they both get that "ahhhh...
