Be sure you cover the traps so they will not injure the kitty, You may find your towel or newspaper in the next county but your kitty will avoid the counter. A stubborn cat may need to try this a couple of times, but a stubborn owner with traps will prevail!!!! Try set mouse traps under a towel or a newspaper on the counter.

It's working, sort of..LOL! The problem is the couch is always wet and I think I may be drowning my lil' cheese cake!

I put clear tape wrapped in a circle on my aqurium. Left for about 2hrs to the laundry mat. When my husband and I returned, Mischief had tape stuck to the bottom of him( he has long fur). I lifted him on his back and loved on him while my hubby pulled the tape fast and quickly. He has never been on this aquarium since. He lost his fishing license and didn't want it back after that. I think I will try the aluminum foil on my 2 newest ones though. Hadn't thought of that 1. Can't get her off my brand new stove, arghh. Haha.

Place it on the counter in question and angle it so it can cover the area effectively. It took 3 times for my youngest cat to stop jumping up on the counter, because it would go off. I hope this helps those that are having these issues. The air mister makes the room smell nice too. Just watch for you getting sprayed or startled.

That way the cat gets a static correcton without associating you with the punishment. They just learn that the counter hurts! You can pick 3 diffrent levels of correction. I only use the first 2 as they are enough to get the message across but without causing undo pain. It feels like a static shock you get from clothes, enough to make you jump but doesnt cause harm. They are about $80. you can buy diffrent attachments or diffrent sized mats, some wide enough to fit window sills to keep kitties off and for the edge of the counter. Some are large for tables and couches and have an attachment to cover the top of the couch. Reccomend this product to people with kitties that love to jump. one jump and they quickly learn to keep off! They can be used underneith thin floor mats and table runners so cats dont know they are there. Scatt Mats work wonders.

They continue to rocket launch onto my bedside table without even being slightly phased. These runners are really sharp too! I can barely touch them before it starts to hurt. I don't understand how they can just stand on it while staring at me thinking: "Ha-ha!" I'm at my wits end with these beasts...

I can't keep this young one off anything She has a small one room condo on the floor so I've been wanting to get her a larger one and that's my plan for next week as well as the carpet runners. Thank you for your advice, she's really a sweet 5 month old kitten who is going in to be spayed next month and that might calm her down a little too.

I used Glad press and seal wrap sticky side up, it is farily inexpensive and does not damage the counter or furniture. thank you for the “sticky” idea.
