Bob: Yes, you can keep cats from jumping and climbing on counters and furniture. If you search "counter surfing" here on catchannel, you will find at least one column I've written addressing the issue. Also, my book "Naughty No More!" has a chapter on counter surfers.

Is it realistic to think that you can stop a cat from climbing on furniture and tables? If so, what ways can be used to pursued a cat not to do these things.

Thank you.

My 4-month-old kitten just learned to jump on the kitchen cabinets. I think we've deterred him by using a spray bottle, and giving him time outs by putting him in his room. (My cats have there own room since the kids have moved out). But if anyone has any other suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
