Our cats are not aloud on the kitchen counter or the table. Smokey thinks she owns the place and does what ever she wants but she knows she is NOT aloud on either of them. Misty always has cat litter stuck between her toes so no matter where she walks it is everywhere. So I mean imagine sitting down to a dinner and finding cat litter all over the table (we did once) it was nasty so they aren't aloud up there. But my sister thinks they should be aloud up there so I just put the dogs up there when the cats are up there and say yea well I thikn they should be aloud up there. I dunno, its an un going fight at the house.
