Not all cat owners – even those who are crazy about these animals – like it when their furry pet climbs on the table.
Undesirable behavior should be addressed, as they say, from infancy.
If you notice your cat jumping onto the dining surface, show her that this is not allowed.
Often the animal is tempted by food that may have been left on the table, so to avoid provoking the cat, put everything in the refrigerator or kitchen cabinets.
In addition to keeping all surfaces in the kitchen or dining room free of food, you should also make sure the sink is clean.
If you have been cutting fish, chicken or meat in it, be sure to clean the sink thoroughly.
Owners of cats with many years of experience in keeping pets, taught by bitter experience, also recommend leaving objects on the table that make a loud noise when they fall – for example, a metal piggy bank with small coins.
If you drop such a thing on the floor, your pet will probably be scared by loud sounds and will no longer want to explore the forbidden place.
