I just tried the buzz with Newt...no affect. He just looked at me like I was nutz (you know, his usual look) LOL
When Newt is being really really naughty (jumping on the counter while I'm cooking) he knows it and will hunker down and give me a warning yowl/growly thing. If 'Off!' doesn't work right off, I will hiss at him, getting close with my face, mouth open (think vampire hiss) and he get down pronto and hides for a few minutes...then comes back and is all sweetness and good as gold for hours.
