In addition to yelling, I got good results using an old paperback book.
When thrown end-over-end (not hard, you don't want to hurt the cat) the
pages spread out and start fluttering.

When our cat* saw this apparition descending like the angel of death,
he was usually far out of reach before it landed.

It only took two throws to break him of climbing the stairs (off-limits
by reason of allergies).  He complained about it, though.

I didn't feel too sorry for him; he had other hobbies: inspecting parked
cars, rolling in our neighbor's ash pile, shredding old newspapers, etc.

* Curie, short for Curiosity.
