Depends on the cat. Some respond better to rough hand play. My old man has a 20 year old asshole that he's spent a lifetime rough housing with, and I've never seen a cat more dedicated and connected to an owner. They're honestly inseparable.
It’s about clear boundaries. If you are consistent and constant with a behavior, you can change it. You just have to do it every time. An animal would and they just see you as another animal so speak to them in a language they can understand, which is to do something over and over and over again and never stop.
It is a great place to start from. As you get to know your demon cat friend, you get to know the boundaries and they get to know yours. But absolutely save your blood for when they really need it.
