Cat gets on the counter top

Thank you Mark. It sounds like loops work for you. The question I have is, if I put sticky tape -- either loops or flat -- on the counter and table top, how can I use the counter myself? If the sticky tape is all over it. It doesn't have to be all over it, it just has to be where it'll get in the cat's way, especially where the cat will want to jump to but can't see it from below. -- Mark |

What should i do to keep the cat off the counter top i caught her laying on it many times i make her get down but when i leave the kitchen she will get back on the counter top again Years ago, my sister "thought" she had succeeded in teaching her cat not to get on the kitchen counter top. Then she glanced at the kitchen window one day as she was returning home and saw her cat quickly jump down from the counter. By the time she entered the house, her cat approached her while stretching and yawning. It seems that her cat had simply learned a way to trick her into *thinking* that my sister had succeeded. I think my sister gave up after that and simply cleaned the counter very well before using it to prepare food. MaryL |

Upside down packaging tape. Then you get to play her rescuer... "Awww, let me help remove that awful packaging tape!" Great idea! I'm going to put upside-down packaging tape on my counters, my dining room table, my refrigerator, my desk, my bookcases, my... ;-D Also... It usually takes two or three encounters with the packaging tape, and then it stops cold. |

Cat gets on the counter top
Per MaryL:
Years ago, my sister "thought" she had succeeded in teaching her cat not to get on the kitchen counter top. Then she glanced at the kitchen window one day as she was returning home and saw her cat quickly jump down from the counter. By the time she entered the house, her cat approached her while stretching and yawning. It seems that her cat had simply learned a way to trick her into *thinking* that my sister had succeeded. My impression has always been that dogs are capable of feeling guilt and cats are not. My wife thinks she has the cat trained to not get up on the kitchen table, but actually she has it trained to not get up on the kitchen table and to get off quickly when it hears somebody approaching.\ OTOH, a dog can be taught to do/not do things even when the owner is not around - not accepting food from strangers, for instance. -- Pete Cresswell |

My impression has always been that dogs are capable of feeling guilt and cats are not. Not so much guilt, but they can sense the feelings of those who love them, and they don't like negative vibes. Cats sense it too, but most of the time they don't care. My wife thinks she has the cat trained to not get up on the kitchen table, but actually she has it trained to not get up on the kitchen table and to get off quickly when it hears somebody approaching.\ I have a kitchen ensuite and the main one is upstairs. I have never had a problem with my two cats except the one off my bedroom has a garden window, and Pookie liked to jump on the counter to access and sleep in the window. The solution was to put a decorative screen over the lower half of the window. Kitty litter on the cutting board wasn't my thing. |
