Please help! I'm at wit's end with this boy!

I squirt Lightning, and that works, so I don't have any idea about what else to say. I love the pictures of the adorable sock thief!!!

My Missy isn't much of a jumper,too lazy, so she seldom gets on my kitchen counters. Sassy, on the other hand, gets up on everything! She likes to visit my fish. I never leave food lying around though because then they have a reason to get up there. They both know they're not allowed on the counters so they usually do it when I'm not home. Something I just have to live with, therefore no food left on the counter! I have one tall counter surfing dog also so it simply means, like I said, no food on the counter.

I learned the hard way not to leave meat on the counter. Right after I got Bosun, I had half a chicken sub on the counter, to eat later. I went to get it, and found it on the floor, chicken missing! Meat gets stored OUT of reach from now on. Bosun will try to "inspect" what I'm doing when I'm cooking; I ask her, "should you be up here?" and she gives me a dirty look and gets down.

If the squirt bottle doesn't work, the coins in a can to make a loud noise might.

We went 4 years with having kitties and no one adventured up onto counters in the kitchen. In last year, Skinny, Eleanor and now Cindy have found the counters. Cindy is the roamer or the counters. Eleanor just lays on the straw mat next to the sink and sleeps.
In the living room I keep all the valuable collectables up on higher shelves on the credenza. Skinny only wants to lay on the open bottom portion. I have a squirt bottle handy when I'm home.
As for the kitchen, Cindy gets drenched during dinnertime with the squirt bottle. She has to inspect everything near the stove, sink area. She now jumps down when she sees the squirt bottle in mom's hand. LOL

Now THAT'S got to be the best suggestion that I've received so far!

[CalliesMom]

I'm sorry that I don't have any advice as my kitties are nawtee and do whatever they want..jump on counters while we're eating, complain constantly when they are "starving"....yes they are nawtee.

Good luck though.

Do you have a nice high kitty perch for him? You know, one of those poles with a couple of perches where he can survey the world? He might like that since he can climb there, sleep there and scratch away without being scolded.

Just a thought.

Ya know, I just noticed that he likes the small one we have for him. I think I'll make him a bigger one because he seemed to like it so much!

Thanks for the suggestion!

You never know what might 'grab' their attention, so that the behavior is modified even a little bit.
