Squeak doesn't like it when you wipe the counter if she is in the sink; so DON'T! See, that wasn't hard, was it? Now you know who runs the household HERE.

Seriously though. If you are using some cleanser, she may not like the smell. Otherwise, your hand moving in the wipe motion is like a little mouse running around, and her instincts kick in. OR she is napping in the sink you come over and interrupt her beauty sleep? How DARE you! snap! You have to try and get at things from her viewpoint. Not always easy. We just find it easier not to bother a sleeping kitty.
