Have you caught your cat on the kitchen counter recently, or has your cat left evidence to prove that they've been there while you are gone? If you are sick of catching your cat up on the kitchen counter all the time there are several things you can do about it.
First, cats normally get up on the kitchen counter because it gives them some type of reward. This type of reward comes in the form of food, dirty dishes to lick, a leaky faucet to play with, a window to look out of, or just a place to be up high off the ground.
Counter Stools Kitchen
In order to keep your cat off the counter you need to make this experience a negative one for your cat. Do this by removing all possible rewards. That means no dirty dishes left in the same, and no runny faucets.
If your cat likes to look outside the window, cover up the bottom third of the window with a blind so your cat cannot see out. If your cat likes it just to be up high you might get a cat tree so your cat can climb up high somewhere else.
Other tricks that you can use to keep your cat off counters includes electronic devices that sense when an animal is moving on the counter. These can either emit a spray or a sound to scare the cat away.
Once the cat becomes conditioned to knowing that the kitchen counter is a negative experience it will no longer go up there.
