I don't mean yelling at the cat, but just saying 'no', and the cat obeying.
Is it possible to teach a cat to stop doing what it is just starting to do
if you merely say 'no'?

Indeed it is. All I have to do most of the time is just look at them and they
know that I'm not pleased with whatever they are doing, so they quit it.

Yup, although with mine it has to move to tone of voice before they
mind. Benjie knows that if he continues when I've used The Voice on
him, I'm going to blow in his face, and he HATES that! Caley, however,
writes herself a note to do whatever it is later when I'm not looking.
Sebbie's attention span is so short he's already forgotten what he was
going to do. He's a three year-old kitten, that one.
