My cat will not stay of my countertops or table. I think its gross because that is where food goes, not animals. I have tried the water bottle trick; all he is learned is to avoid getting caught and run from me when I come into the kitchen to spray him. I have read about putting double-sided tape on the countertops, but then won’t it be miserable and gross for the humans that have to work on the counter? Also, I live in an apartment and I can’t go destroying the couner with double-sided tape. Are there any other suggestions?? Serious answers only, please.
