Many cat owners know how unpleasant it is when their pets start climbing on tables, disturbing order and cleanliness.
However, there are several effective methods that will help wean the cat from being on the table. Of course, the method will have to be selected individually, and in some situations it will require a lot of effort and patience.
Creating unpleasant associations
Cats often associate places with unpleasant sensations or smells. Therefore, you can try placing objects on the table that cause discomfort. The most popular options include:
1) Aluminum foil.
2) Double-sided tape and others.
When the cat steps on them with its paws, it will begin to fear the table. Of course, much here depends on the animal's mental abilities and its persistence.
Use of aromatic repellents
Some scents can be unpleasant for cats and scare them away. You can try putting on the table:
• lavender;
• mint;
• citrus and similar.
Cats are sensitive to many scents, so they may subsequently avoid being on the table.
A cat should have its own place
Cats often climb on tables out of curiosity or a desire for attention.
It is important that the pet has alternative places to play and rest. The table should not be interesting to him, then there will be no problems.
Teaching the "No" command
Teaching your cat the "No" command can help him understand that climbing on the table is unacceptable. This command is important in training an animal.
Everyone should understand that many cats simply do not understand which habits are good and bad. Only gradual training will help achieve the desired results.
