I had no idea when I posted last night that Tazzy's attraction to countertops would gather so many comments. I just want to say, I'm taking the advice of giving up. It's one of those things, like who lives here? Us or the cat? Well, I think Tracy and I have concluded that when it comes to countertops, Tazzy lives here. We're just kitchen workers.
Why? Just enjoy their antics, their companionship. Or, as Albert Schweitzer said: "There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats."
You could more easily drive the Russians from Crimea with a T-shirt cannon than keep your cat off the counter. Props for the PURR poster in the background.
It is a constant process: Penelope! Down! Down! I said Down! Don't make me have to come over there (rising from chair) Okay. Good girl. Now why didn't you do that the first time I told you. I love you, Penelope.
Sharing space is a loving and gracious way to live on your kitty. I put a small cat grass plant and use that moment to pet kitty without having to bend over. I’m old.
My advice? You'll never keep a cat off your counters. When you are not there looking at your counters and your cat, they do what they want. They're cats. However, I do advise sanitizing your kitchen counters every time you're going to prep food there, just in case the cat has been on them. Same effect, without the futile task of de-catting the counter constantly.
I have been a lover of felines as long as I can remember.I have two adorable males and they absolutely do not get on my kitchen table or my counters.When I get a kitten, I start immediately with”No” in a firm voice when they try to get to these areas.I put them down on the floor.This regimen is continued on for many days and it has worked for me.My boys do not go there and I have never had use any other discipline (I do not believe in corporal punishment).Hope this helps you out.Smitty and Eek are the best boys btw
It is impossible. Cats gonna cat.
We gave up on getting ours down. He’s just picking up tips and recipes for when he gets his own place.

No advice... best to surrender. You're just the staff.

Cats can understand up to 120 commands. They just don't want to.
Our two cats--twins, littermates--spend half their lives on our kitchen counters. Doesn't bother me a bit, probably just broadens our biome.
I read that to Finnegan and Tucker. They laughed. (They’re cats)

Wash the counter after kitty jumps down after the treat you just tossed on the floor.

Give up! It’s the cat’s turf. Such a pretty cat too.

Spray bottle with water. Might not keep her off but she will get down!
