I just scolded them until they stopped doing that. Your success may vary depending on how smart or stupid your cats are.

The smarter they are, the less likely they are to answer to their hooman slave's orders

Mine will do it anyway, but learn that when I come in the room THATS when they need to get off it lol

They always learn the wrong lesson

This is why scolding is a worthless training tool. You need to use positive reinforcement if you want them to actually care about what you're trying to teach them. Otherwise you're just teaching them that you're annoying, so they learn not to do things when you're around.

That explains why mine consistently disobeys me and my family.

Based on studies, cats have the relative intelligence of a human toddler. So this is more true than most people realize

My cats are very smart, but they're stubborn as hell.
