It is important to remember that cats are independent beings. This means they don't like being told "no". If you tell your cat "no", they might get mad at you. This is why you should never punish your cat for doing something wrong. It is important to show affection and love to your cat but you shouldn't treat them like a human being.

It is not possible to force your cat or dog to eat. Sometimes your cat may refuse to eat. When this happens, you should give him/her some treats. But don't give too many treats because this could lead to overeating.
Your cat should be kept clean at all times. Every day, wash your cat thoroughly. Use a wet cloth to wipe off dirt and dust. Check to make sure your cat is free of fleas. Flea bites may cause skin irritation or allergies. If you notice any signs of fleas, then you should use a special shampoo to remove them.
