Cat Forum / General Topics / May 2004keep cats off counter, mantel, etc
I've tried carpet tape, sticky side up. I haven't tried powders/chemicals of some type they may hate. What will inhibit the cat besides putting a dog on the counter to keep them off? Thanks...

(Accompanied by NO!). That works well with *most* cats. Cats are creatures of habit; and when something *habitually* irritates them (like a squirt in the face under repeated circumstances) they will alter the circumstances (change their habit) and stop getting on the counter top. --Geno > > I've tried carpet tape, sticky side up.

Yes, the spray bottle works remarkably well, even for dogs. :-) Charles.Angelich MP3/WMA streaming: http://www.undercoverdesign.com/dosghost/samples.asp DOS & W31: http://www.undercoverdesign.com/dosghost/ Entertainment: http://www.undercoverdesign.com/dosghost/faf A friend of mine suggested using tin foil. Place it on the table, mantle, etc. We did it with our cat and it seemed to help. Good luck. | I've tried carpet tape, sticky side up. I haven't tried powders/chemicals | of some type they may hate.

Cat and trays fell down together with a loud noise. Although this was not planned the cat never went there again. So maybe you should start baking ;-) Carola |
