I voted sometimes....because when Tubby was young enought to jump that high, we would let him on the counter to get to the open window over the sink - but only then. Otherwise flying lessons were in order.

Unfortunately, or fortunately for that matter, he can't jump that high anymore so it's not an issue anymore.

And Peanut has never been one for high places. Sometimes I put her on the counter to give her a treat. She eats the treat then panics and jumps off immediately. I guess that's a good thing, but I just can't figure out why she would be so paranoid about being on the counter.
