"No!"

     Recently I started babysitting my two year old granddaughter.  This child has not been taught the word "no."  I am constantly telling her "no" when she goes for an item she is not allowed to touch.  Her curious little mind has her wanting to test me on everything in my house.
     I became amused when I found myself yelling "scat" at my cat Mya when she jumped on the table. 
     Hey, could the word "scat" be the word "no" to a cat?  If Mya is on a table or anywhere she doesn't belong, the mention of the word sends her scrambling!
