Hey guys,
So I've had Nala for a while now and so far everything has been pretty good. The only thing that I have a problem with is the fact that she keeps insisting on jumping up and laying on the kitchen table and countertops. She used to jump on the counter and get up to the top of my cabinets and sleep there. But I just put all of my extra pots and pans up there so she stopped that. I'm ok with her jumping up on the couch, and entertainment center. She actually found a way to get on top of the wall mounted air conditioner which is pretty much the highest point in my apartment. I've never actually seen her get up there I just kinda see her already sitting there. And I have no problem with that either. It's just that I feel like the kitchen should be free of animals. I think it's unsanitary to have a cat sleeping on your table where you eat and prepare food. Although if I'm in the kitchen or eating at the table she won't jump up which is good.
Is there a way to keep her from wanting to jump on the tables? I've heard if people wiping restricted areas with vinegar/water mixture. Have any if you guys tried this?
And I don't want to sound like a bad person, or like I don't love my cat because I do very much. I just would prefer that she stay off certain areas
