When he was a kitten-adolescent,  Mom got so frustrated one evening when he hopped up to help himself to chicken that she was cooking for dinner that she turned the kitchen sink hose/rinser on him....he just LEANED into it & shut his eyes & started purring!......we were laughing so hard we were crying.  So we had to come up with an alternative.  The nerf ball worked better for us, but only AFTER we soaked and dryed the lemon juice to it.)
