- Hello all...
-
- I decided to try to train my kitlets out of jumping onto the kitchen
- counters because it was getting a LITTLE ridiculous! I have two male
- neutered cats, one about 2 yrs, one about 7 mos.
- The way our kitchen is arranged is there are two walls facing
- eachother and well...let me see if I can draw a picture:

- okay..that is what the kitchen looks like. So there are two open ends
- at each end of the kitchen and the top and bottom wall have counters
- across. The wall on the right side has no counter. The stove is on the
- bottom wall and the fridge is in the corner of the top wall and the
- right side.
- OKAY. My sister and I have built little pyramids of empty diet coke
- cans on both ends of both counters to prevent them from leaping up
- from the floor. It seems to be working considering the few times they
- have jumped up since, has resulted in loud clanging and bouncing of
- cans everywhere ! :) *screech* It was rather amusing to watch!
- My question is...how long do we have to keep this modern art in our
- kitchen ? I am afraid if I take them down now, the cats will just
- start jumping back up! The cans have been there about a week.
-
- Suggestions?
