counters

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

My cats aren't allowed on the counters or the kitchen table and they know it! We used the spray bottle and squirt them with water when we saw them up there. It didn't take long before they knew they weren't supposed to be up there. I'd keep up with that method, it may work yet.

Taz is not "allowed" on the kitchen counter and I never SEE him up there. We have a glass stove top and I always see little foot prints on the glass. But there's nothing I can do if I don't catch him in the act. There is nothing he can get into up there, but Bruce doesn't like it.....oh well.

My guys NEVER get on counters, tables or my wide windowsills. They sleep only on the cat furniture, use their scratching posts and NEVER anything else! They come when called, take baths and pills and wormings willingly and happily............................

Ok so that part is my nightly Dreamscape..........reality, they are on the tables and counters when I am not looking...........I cannot blame just one as with 2 blacks and 2 Greys they KNOW I cannot pick one hair out of all that! Only Io is a buff so I know when he does it behind my back! He of course says it is a stray from rubbing on the other 4 and denies the actions vehemently.

We have a good Military background...........I dont ask and they dont Tell!

Besides if I dont ACTUALLY witness it did it really happen???

sigh

Groucho knows he's not allowed on the counters when I'm unloading the groceries and especially when I'm cooking. Does that stop him? Of course not! Although when food is being put away or prepared he now gets up on top of the fridge so he can observe and supervise. And he always lets his opinion be known.

The kitties have yet to get on my counters, but the Kitchen table is another story! They seem to think that this is the perfect napping area! They get down when they se they have been caught, so it is not a huge issue. As longas they dont get on it while i am eating, i could care less.

The Only Time The Found Cats Will Get On The Porch Is If I Am Taking Too Long Opening Thier Cans Of Food.
Other Than That They Really Have No Intrest At All.
If A Cat Wants To Go There, They Will.

Sunny has never ever jumped up onto any counter in the house. But Jack does, but to be honest I don't really mind. I use anti-bacterial spray when I do the dishes and wipe over the counters and I'm happy with that.
He only likes to see what's up there, it's his curiosity that's all.
And I guess I love him enough to let him do what he wants, if he's happy then I'm happy
