My family thinks my cat is half dog, partly cause we picked him up on the street, partly because well, he's like a dog. My mum is pretty stern with him in terms of tone of voice. When we first got him, we tried the "water spray" thing, turns out he loves water -.-
One thing he is terrified of, though, is newspapers. Roll up a newspaper and tap/hit your cat's nose when he gets too close to your laptop and say "NO" (don't need to give him a concussion, a tap is generally enough). Or a slipper. My cat is scared of raised slippers too xD They tend to get the message pretty quickly.
oh and also cats sense fear and inferiority/superiority you need to make it clear you're the boss in the way you act around your cat. Sounds harsh but it's the only way to stop these adorable furballs from taking over our brains haha.
He's a pretty well behaved cat/dog now <3
