Cats convince
Just like the dog does not work, as we all know. Cats do not accept orders, they have to be convinced. If she does what she should not do, then ranting does not help at all, it only amuses her. Punish? Nope, pointless, because then they do in the future only secret, refined.
Spraying with water only helps if they do not recognize where it is from, otherwise they will do it in the future when they are not there. On the other hand, if they are distracted, they think they have decided it themselves, that's much better. So ? do not pay attention, instead, casually make something interesting, rustle, if necessary, croak in the treats. But without attracting and without eye contact with the cat! She must not realize that she is doing it because of her.
Otherwise she'll turn the tables in the future and do illicit things if she wants attention or goodies. If she is curious, interested in hopping, you can play with her or give her a treat. This distracts her from the unwanted activity. Then it's best to take her into another room or let her out, if she's a freelancer, so she forgets what she was doing.
Ok, with experienced, spoiled divas, that can also fail. But younger animals can be convinced so well.
