Depends what you're teaching them. They're biting? Move away so they know playtime's over if they bite. Be consistent, because they won't get it the first time. Don't scratch that? Put a scratchable surface in front of it, and when they use it, reward them with positive attention. Etc.

How do you tell a strange cat on the street that you don't want it to go near you?

Weird because usually when I see a strange cat on the street I'm trying to get it to come over to me.

Lol that was my thought exactly.

And fyi, food is the only thing I've found so far that works.
