Stove vs. cat...

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.

Yes Helen .... please let us know as it would save me lots of time de-furing the cabinets and stove before cooking a meal.

***Jumps up and raises my hand**** "ME TOO!"

When I was working I saw no point in discouraging them getting on the stove and counters because they were here 12 month of the year, I was here only 6 and I would not make my time home miserable for me or for them..

Right now I am trying to teach them NOT to get up there where I am working!

But I worried about the stove thing too and came up with just putting a pot of water on the hot burner until it cooled off.. sometimes I forget though..
