You should never put up with your cat's habit of jumping on the table if you don't want to find fur in your plate.
To show your pet that such behavior is unacceptable, you only need to follow a few rules.
First of all, you have to be consistent. This means that you should chase the cat off the table every time you see it there.
The next thing to master is a simple and clear command, which, for example, might sound like “No.”
The word should be reinforced with a gesture demonstrating that the animal must leave the table. If the cat is stubborn, help it by gently pushing it to jump off the table.
These rules apply if your pet has already developed a similar habit.
If you are dealing with a kitten that has only recently become a member of your family, it is worth establishing clear boundaries from the very beginning and not allowing your pet to jump on the table even during play.
A smart cat will soon understand that the owner does not approve of such behavior and will not cause you any trouble in the future.
