Cats & Counter Tops, My # 1 Pet Peeve
I don’t know about anyone else but I have one of my cats that just loves to do ANYTHING she is NOT suppose to do and one of them is get on my counter tops and I just HATE this. I have tried everything well I came across something that so far has been working for me, so if your having this issue, try this.
Try temporarily applying double-sided tape to the edges of the counter. Now I have actually put it all around my counter top and she absolutely hates it, so it it is working, as long as the tape is there of course. I am just worried about when I take it off, lol! The cats dislike the sticky feeling on their paws. Another alternative I read about is to purchase a mat made for keeping cats off counters. It is a plastic mat that emits a small static shock when touched. Now I have not thought about going this far yet, maybe I should. But I am just at my wits end with her, she just will not stay off of anything. If she can get on it, she will get on it. I am so agitated by this I could just tear my hair out, seriously. I am so serious, I just don’t know what else to do, she gets on everything, I have tried the spraying water, forget it, she could care less. Any other tips out there? I would sooooooo much appreciate it.
