- Well, we have 4 cats at home and we have threee of them jumping on
- the counter and the fourth one, well, can't jump on the counter because
- he's too fat(a little of 20 pounds). Our experience, no matter what you do
- they'll start all over as soon as you think that you've won the battle. Cats
- ain't dumb ! We tried with water guns, screams and other tricks but to no
- avail. To me, to only (unreasonable) solution is to feed the cats like crazy,
- give them real yummy food, and at one point they'll be too fat to jump any-
- where. Realistically, IMHO, there's not much you can do.
