The water bottle and bitter spray is a good idea, picking him up by the scruff could hurt him, though, you could pull his shoulder muscles.
It sounds like he is bored and has a lot of energy to spend, so you have two choices that may help him "behave".
1. Play with him a lot to tire him out, or;
2. Get him a playmate that is about the same age as him to keep him occupied.
BTW male cats at this age are very social. |
I agree with the picking him up by the scruff of the neck, it's not a good idea. I was told by my vet that not only could it hurt his shoulder muscles, but you can actually tear tissue under the skin.
