I recently purchased dark purple dining room chairs, and my cat has decided to sleep on them. I used to allow him to get on furniture before I was married. I have since been able to break him of the habit to some degree. He still gets under the covers fo the bed when we are not home and he now jumps on the chairs when we are not home. He used to jump on our leather couch, but has since stopped that behavior without much correction. He does jump on the chairs when we are home, including while we are sleeping at night. So it seems that he knows this is wrong. I have started spraying him with water and yelling no when he goes near the dining room table and chairs. SO far this is not making a difference. My husband is pretty fed up with this, especially since he is not an animal person. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Howdy...

I'm a newbie here...
This might help ya :
Both of my cats were introduced to product sold by many names..'Go Away'
'Stay Off'..etc..

It's a can of spray 'stuff' that cats dislike the smell of...It only take 1 to 2 weeks...you spray this stuff on chairs/tables...where ever you don't want puss to be and after a couple whiffs of this
stuff both my cats won't dare scratch or lay
where it was sprayed for a couple weeks..and
I see no evidence of staining from the spray.

Anyway ...it has ALWAYS worked for me..
Good Luck...
