    Durn cats!

    I 'think' I've taught mine not to sit there; at least, I never SEE any of them there.

    Good idea you had, Donna!

    I do the exact same thing that Donna does. When I had my cats, they loved to walk across the counters and stove top, tho the only cats now are my son's two. I've never seen them by the stove, but that doesn't mean they have never gone there. It is just a practice I've kept up over the years, and it has saved humans from getting burned too.

    That is a great idea! Since my little Jaxter likes to walk on the counter and the stove. We have the glass top stove and the light stays on until the burner cools down. I will make sure to do this from now on. Luckily we do not use the stove very often. We mainly BBQ all the time.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Me too

    I also put the pot right back on the burner after I turn off the burner. I have a glass top stove and the cats walk all over it, all the time. I sometimes put a lid on the surface if the pot is not available.

    Good thought to pass this on.........

    The thoughts of having a kitty paw hit the surface just really scares me....

    Yep my cats love to walk and sleep on the stove! I just replace the pots after emptying them until things cool down. I also use burner covers. And the cats love it when I put an old towel on top of all that.

    Mine do not get on the counters in the kitchen or stove. I am thinking you all need to discourage this habit!

    Well I tried to discourage my cats from doing this but they do so anyhow! I would really have to whip them hard to keep them off and I will never hurt my kitties. I have tried swatting them, spraying them with water and yelling at them... it dont work! So now I never leave the stove until it is totally cool and I cover the burners! Lately they have lost interest in it.
