My entire house was tin foiled and it kept my cat off everything for a bit...then one day he began playing with it and laughing at me....he constantly outsmarts me and I have a decent IQ.
My boy Smokey just started hopping onto the counter and is 6 months old, and I've been trying to figure out how to keep him away. This has been a very helpful video.
She's still little but, I just moved into my apartment and so far, no counter hopping! But it could also be because the counters are covered with boxes and things.
I've catified the rest of the house. Lots of shelves all over the walls, doorways, short and long runs. Low, medium and high. Just for them. Cats prefer jumping and flying place to place more than anything. :)
OK I am very strict about this ..I do not let cats on any surface where food is cooked or eaten ..they have their own food area ..and that's clear....however I don't mind them around my feet at cooking or Dinner time ..and of course they get treats,..
I wish I could get them to understand this. All 3 go in and out of the sink nightly. All long hair cats. Can’t even wash my hand and dry them with the kitchen towel because I get hair right back all over my hands. It’s a daily chore for me to keep the counters and tables clean. My girl doesn’t care. I do. Lol. Good ole adulthood
@@heart-ej1gw it is! lol now she's talking about another dog too. These animals are addicting! They're all extremely happy though so it's worth it every time. They bring so much joy!
@ShotByNikoHD very nice to hear!! unfortunately, i’m a minor and i have to ask my parents to get a cat.. pain trying to figure out how to keep this from happening, but im super glad you’re happy :D
My 4 month old kittens climb up my body whenever I'm standing in the kitchen. I know they just want to see what's going on, but I still don't like to be scratched all the time. Any ideas?
My cat never used to jump on the counter. Then one day he just randomly started. He is 2 years old. Then today he decided that it was a good idea to start trying to get in the cupboard with the glasses. He has two cat trees, one is small and the other is about 5feet tall with multiple levels. We even let him jump up on the window. How do we stop him from being naughty
I've tried everything that you mentioned and more except for the clicker training. Nothing has worked. I might try the clicker training and see if that will work but I'm not sure that will work either because my cat is not food motivated. She's very finicky
PLEASE tell me HOW to stop my 9 month old cat from pawing the magnets off the bottom half of my fridge!? Is there something I can buy, or do I need to DYI something?
@@relaxmycat That would be easy if we didn't live out of our 22ft Class C rv so we can travel. My fridge is my vision board. They aren't just magnets. They are all the places I've gone & people I've met along my 8yrs of travels. There's only 5 states left I haven't been to yet to collect the state magnet. I hate to take them down, not to mention no place to really store them safely. Although there are alot of creative people out here. I bet I could find someone to make me some kind of plexiglass gaurd to go halfway up the fridge so he can't touch them? 🤔
I have a 6 months old and he just learned how to jump on the kitchen counter. My only worry is my stove as he almost got burnt today!! He doesn’t care if the stove is on!! I have been studying by my stove to make sure he doesn’t get on it when it is on or hot. Foil didn’t work so i am going to try the lime and see if that works. Every time i tell him to go down, he goes down because he knows he will get a treat, but when i am not around he goes up again!! I M still practicing giving him treats when he gets down and he has tall tree and other things to climb!
hey i need help! So this thing with my cat has been going on for a very good while now. She used to not jump on tables, but now she does it all the time. And I have no idea how to stop this unwanted behavior. not to mention it's making me and my Grandma really upset. If it continues, then she might have to get put out...( My Grandma is not thinking of getting rid of her just thinking of putting her outside) But it's going on forever and it's the dining room table.. Where we eat at. It is both just annoying and unsanitary. All the things in this video is very helpful. I can't put a luminium foil on the table. Cause it's just gonna look bad not to mention I eat there. At the moment, we don't have anything circus scented. nor a clicker. And I do know that yelling at the cat is not the way to go( Even so we'd been doing it forever and it hasn't even made a difference) It's just so hard not to get mad because it's so frustrating. And it seems like she doesn't have the message through her head that she cannot jump on the table. And if she continues doing it, she's gonna find herself outside. We even had tape on the table at 1 time. It worked for a good while, but then the tape just lost stickiness. And it was really hard to get off. And it didn't suit the purpose. I suppose that I could just put some more clear tape on there. But I'm not sure if my Grandma would agree with that. Additionally, I love my Kitty so much. And I hate to yell at her, but this behavior just gotta stop. Please if anybody has any tips, let me know.
My 5year old Fanta gets on the table when I go to bed, my 2year old Smokey gets on the table too in the daytime. I bought the spray now I’ll use it everyday
I have one cat that is very stubborn. Sticky tape she eats, aluminum foil she sleeps on, licks the citrus. Have a feeling because she doesnt like 3 other cats its only place they wont jump up because they learned.
Good ideas, my 2 cats keep going behind my washer/ dryer, one can get out on his own but my girl cat gets stuck. No signs of mice...any ideas I'm gonna try the lemon juice & tin foil
My 10 year got a 5 month old cat/kitten. He is doing well cleaning her box and feeding her playing with her loving on her. But she is not learning to stay off counters and dressers I have told her no at least 300 times. It's like she just isn't listening or is and doesn't care or is showing me she doesn't want to listen. I use the same tone and say No no just like I did to let her know I don't play with biting and kicking scratching and she stopped. So I know she knows I talling her no! Also, I think she is in heat. She all the sudden will not shut up. It's all day into the night. I have her in the first available appointment to get spayed. I was hoping to avoid her going into heat. But I don't know what else would make her be so vocal all the sudden
I put aluminum foil on my fridge but he jumps over it it's also on my shelf he has since avoided it but my stuff stays clean and he still gets up there and knocks off my decorations and pulls my fake flowers out
The problem is that we adopted our cat (a one year old) from a "cat cafe". He was allowed to climb and walk and lay on whatever table, etc he wanted to there. I now have to break these habits.
Similar situation for me too. It’s almost like he knows he shouldn’t be on the kitchen counter, I can say what r u doing up there.. I get a meow then he jumps down lol
Cats are outside pets. We had lots of cats when I was a kid and they all stayed outside not inside. Grandma said it was gross to let a cat go to the bathroom in your house and climb all over people with cats. Their house stinks. Sorry that’s how I feel. Not that I don’t Wildcats. It says that I love them a lot more and then crawling around my house.
NONE of these work. My daughters cats pees on the counter, kitchen sink. drain with washed dishes, cutlery holder, Toaster, thats a nice smell when heated and the stove. well use imagination. If its in my house, its been peed on. They have destroyed everything i own. The one even sprays up on things she cant reach My kitchen is unsuitable for even making meals anymore. Tried tape. Nope. Tinfoil. They don't care, will pee on it. My whole kitchen was encased in tin. Lemon, nope as soon as the smell is not just fresh, it does nothing. Spikey mats meant to keep squirrels of fences, nope jump over or step around. I now live in my bedroom and live off things i can heat in the microwave. I also cant breath if i leave my room, as i had lung cancer surgery last year. The stench was great for my recovery. I have lived here 20 years and never ashamed of my home. My one daughter wont come to visit anymore. My youngest whos cats they are, that she got with her BF 2 years ago, then broke up and brought the monsters back home with her, wont even invite her friends to our house. Im beyond livid, hurt. And im ready to take them to a shelter. But that would destroy what remains of our relationship. When i finally leave this place, they will have to set a match to it. I will leave with clothes and maybe some pictures, The pictures and photo albums they have not yet completely destroyed. Not even sure i can salvage the antiques that came from my grandmother and great grandmas. Over 150 years old, Now stained and damaged. That crushed my heart. My daughter could not give a care.
I don't mind the cats on the counters. Keep your floors mopped and use Clorox wipes on the counter surface, and keep them out of the kitchen when preparing meals. I feed/water my cats in a room that's not the kitchen. No need to battle.

Each day is a new chance to be a better version of yourself; choose to be great today.

My cat thinks the foil is a fun new toy, I think he actually likes the noise it makes🤦♀️
Same here. My cats LOVE aluminum foil.
She's still little but, I just moved into my apartment and so far, no counter hopping! But it could also be because the counters are covered with boxes and things.
Let's hope it continues even when the boxes are gone!
THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!
You are SO welcome!

Blue buddy and miss meow meow, do what they want. On counter, table whatever. They run the house
Cool.

Do you think catnip might work as a motivation/reward?

Might just be easiest to move them higher up or take them off until she gets older and less rambunctious!

@@quabrewton lmao mine too! She’ll wait till I’m out the room… and then scramble to jump off and run away when she hears me coming
my cat is table hopper and counter hoppers,, my cat figured out how to jump over it, he is ok with foil
Ah bless him - have any other tips helped??
I have been waiting for this topic! Didnt know that about alum foil, I will try that. I tried scent reppelent, did not faze her.
Glad we managed to cover it for you!
Nice and lovly
Thank you so much 😀
Both counter and table.
Ohhhoh
Alu foils works with my kitten so far...
Glad to hear!
"This is Spaaaaawn...ge."
Just got him today up on the kitchen counters. Can't afford cat tree or sticky tape for a few days....
Counter Hopper
Hahahahahaha foil, my kittens thought it was the best to slide under and jump around and play with it.
Playful babies!
My Lily is a counter hopper AND door dasher. 😭
Oh no both!!
My cat is a naughty cat jumping she just started jumping on the stove
Counter !
Kit. Table

Some places it's too dangerous for them to be outside because of predators.
Tried it all. Nothing has worked.
We're sorry to hear this
My little baby is a table hopper
boinnggggg
Dare to dream treat them like kids say ' ok" and they won't
Good tip!
What if none of these methods work
Hmm....there are a fe other ways that might be worth googling!
My 5 cats LOVE going on the counters and tables *sigh*
They always steal whatever bags are on the table smh
Little thieves!

I don't mind the cats on the counters. Keep your floors mopped and use Clorox wipes on the counter surface,
and keep them out of the kitchen when preparing meals.
I feed/water my cats in a room that's not the kitchen.
No need to battle.
All very valid points!
None of this has worked for me. I am at my wits end. I am going to have to take her to a shelter for adoption.
First
Our cats like to jump on my countertops. My kitchen sink, am I dishwasher. This is my time having cats. My kids really enjoy it, so I don't want to give them away to a pet shelter, but if I can't keep them out of my kitchen, that is my next step.
FYI it’s “counters”.
oooopsie
pls get a better microphone , cant hear a thing you re saying
