    I’ve been told it’s acceptable to flick a cat’s ears (gently, obviously) because that’s what a mama cat does to her kittens when they do something dumb. Any opinions on this?

      If it’s something serious I take them to the scene of the crime, pinch the neck folds (do not ever carry them by that btw) and speak in an angry voice. Works best with cats that have more than 2 braincells lol
      edit: mine would ignore the ear flicks, it’s not even an annoyance to them

        Yeah, they more like swat at their ears. I’ve seen an adult cat do this to another when they did something they didn’t like.
