Felix gets up on the counter as well.I don't mind it really.He sits looking into the sink,he is facinated with the water that drips from the tap,He especially goes bonkers when I let the dish water drain(I now wait for him before I unplug the sink) He don't be any trouble but there was that one time when I returned home I found my cake on the floor.I guess he was facinated with the sound the plastic container made when he touched it,either that or he had a sweet tooth that day LOL. I just wipe the counter before using it...no biggie
