You can only console yourself with the thought that your cat is obedient and modest, and when no one is home, she sleeps quietly on the sofa, and does not climb on tables and in places where the owners do not allow her.
I would like to believe that this is all true. In order to protect yourself from troubles, as well as to maintain the power of the ban in your absence, use the following life hacks.
You will no longer have to pick up clumps of fur from the table or throw away what your cat did not finish eating on the table.
The first trick: noise
It is not difficult to scare cats. To do this, you can leave something ringing and rattling on the table.
This could be a set of pots, spoons and forks on a stand, and other dishes that will start to ring and make noise if a cat decides to jump on the table.
The second trick: the unknown
You can immediately wean your cat off climbing on the table by laying tape with the sticky side up or cling film on it.
The materials will start sticking to the animal's paws as soon as they touch the table surface. If you combine this trick with dishes, the cat will forget the way to your table for a long time from the noise and surprise.
The third trick: discomfort
It is important for the animal to be in control of the situation and feel comfortable in it.
But if, after jumping on the table, he encounters prickly cones, spiked rugs, toothpicks or eggshells there, then he will clearly have no desire to lie down.
By the way, for pets prone to relapse, it would not be a bad idea to combine all the proposed methods on one table.
