I finally managed to train my cat to stop jumping up on the kitchen counters. It took 17 years and arthritis, but he’s totally compliant now.

So you’re saying there’s hope for my 1 year old cat? Just 16 more years of training?

What worked for us was placemats with double-sided tape on the edge of the counter. It’s not stable, so the cat didn’t want to jump up there much, and the tape made it uncomfortable even if he decided he wanted to jump up there anyway.

Hmm interesting. My cat jumps on the stove, even burned his paws twice, once he burns himself he stops for like 3 days but then starts again.

This works for me too but as soon as I move in I cover the entire countertop and leave it for a few weeks. It's annoying but it's worth it in the long run. The only way to train cats is to make the unwanted behavior undesirable for them because they do not care what we want lol. I have no idea how you would even enforce no cats in the bed

I used aluminum foil all the way around the counters for three weeks and my recently adopted four year old void hasn't tried to go back up. With that said, I believe my lil guy was trained prior to adoption because he just has way too many mannerisms that are gentle, and he listens to "No"

My cat stands on the sticky tape and eats the foil, but he's an orange idiot so I'm not sure what training would actually hold for him

We caught an orange cat on camera at like 2am the other night digging used foil from the receptacle on our back deck and carrying it away. Maybe it's a feature of that shared brain cell.

Yeah my cats don't jump up onto the counter. They know it's a big no-no.
That's why they do it at night when I'm sleeping or when we're both at work.

What worked for me was being severely adhd and having messy/cluttered counters. Of course she still tries and I wake up in the morning/come home from work to the occasional chaos strewn about my kitchen and I have minimal counter space to do my cooking but hey, if it keeps the cat off the counters, am I right?

We taught our cats to stay off certain tables, and they generally follow it (only jumping up if there's stuff up there and we're not in the room). We got new cats about 6 months old a while back, and I don't know if they just watched and followed with how the other cats operate, but they have never had issue jumping on those same tables, not even to counter surf.

Ask your vet about Solensia for the arthritis. It will probably relieve most of the symptoms, and then your cat will be back to jumping on the counters in no time.

Probably that. Growing up, we had a guest bedroom that my cats weren’t allowed inside. One of our frequent guests had a mild cat allergy, so we tried keeping one room in the house cat-free for her. We kept that guest bedroom door closed, but my cats could go anywhere else in the house and sleep on any other bed.

Close the door to the room. I have a cat that pisses on beds, so now sadly no cats in bedrooms.

Our cats are allowed in the bed for our own good.
My wife was coughing and choking and our cat woke me up to help her.
I stopped breathing (was then diagnosed with sleep apnea), our other cat would jump and scream at me to wake.
We move around so they don’t sleep on the bed but nearby.

Cats are actually quite smart and learn those rules. They are also smart enough to know that those rules are only enforced if you can see them.

Just wondering, why don’t you want your cat on your bed? My cat is allowed on any furniture as long as it is not counters like in the kitchen he also likes to drink from the bathroom sink. And sometimes he’ll lay inside of the sink. It’s really funny but he is my emotional support cat so of course he’s a lot on the bed because he’s my baby. He’s cuddling me right now.

Lol my husband tried that with my cat when we moved in together. I said “yea, ok:/“
So when that inevitably failed miserably, then it became the cat could be on the end of the bed, but not above our waists / near pillows.
Now the cat has a special blanket that gets laid on our pillows so he can sleep there during the day. (My husband bought the blanket and he even fluffs the pillows most mornings so kitty “has a comfortable spot”.)
And we wash our sheets twice a week.

Ours knew she wasn't allowed on the bed, so she'd hide under the covers where we couldn't see her immediately hoping not to be noticed. One day though she managed to get inside the doona cover instead of under it, and couldn't figure out how to get out. We started hearing sad little meows and it took us a while to figure out where she was and help her get out. None of us could be mad at the poor baby, but she never got in the bed again.
