Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! On your end, I would recommend that you discourage this behavior as much as possible when you see it by saying no firmly. With persistence and consistency, he is likely going to improve overtime. Sometimes a product called Feliway can help make cats feel more at ease when they are feeling stressed and this may help with your kitty. You can get that online or at your local pet store. Best of luck!
