I’m quite sure it would work for the counter too. Couple of sticky jumps and i bet he stays off. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> I haven’t caught him in the act. I just hear him jump down.

I have a new cat (Bruno) who does not understand that he is not supposed to go up on the counters in the kitchen. He is 2 years old and just as sweet as can be. He lived in the shelter for several months and I don’t even know whether or not he has ever lived in a home for any length of time. I vaguely recall that cats hate aluminum foil and I should put that on the counter. The other thing I recall is double stick tape, but I thought that was for keeping them from scratching the furniture. I haven’t caught him in the act. I just hear him jump down. And my other cats never went on the counters so I never really paid close attention to the tips I read in Cat Fancy and elsewhere to solve this problem. Any ideas anyone can share will be most appreciated. Try placing plastic carpet runner – with the nubs facing up – on the counter. You can easily cut the plastic into any desired shape. Runner is avaliable at most hardware stores and Home Depots for a few dollars a running yard. If the nubs are too pointy or sharp, drag the runner across concrete to dull the nubs a bit. It shouldn’t take more than a few jumps onto to nubs for your cat to lose interest in the counter. Then you can remove the runner. The added benefit of using carpet runner, is that your cat will experience the same unpleasant effect from jumping on the counter with or without your presence. Training can be difficult if the behavior is allowed to continue in your absence, but not in your presence. Good luck. Phil.
