Drag is afraid of cats because drag doesn't know how to say no in a way a cat can understand.
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?
Stare at it. Ignoring cats will make them like you, bevause to cats, not being looked at is a sign of trust.
