She’s not allowed on the kitchen counters, but I haven’t leaned the cat language well enough to giver a stern warning she can understand. And who can say no to such a cute girl sleeping there. I always just gently taker her down but every day she tries her luck once again.
A cat is going to go on the counters whether you allow it or not. They have a whole alternate life during the night. Your cat/s are definitely on the counters lol
Anecdotal, but my cat never jumped up on any counters or tables. She only stuck to the floor and any chairs we let her get on. Even at night as there way plenty of way to tell if she had been up there.
I have cameras. I had one cat that would get up on the kitchen table when he thought he could get away with it (i miss that asshole), but three others I’ve had, including right now never get up there.
She also keeps an eye on the “drain monster” that is the sound of the water being pumped out by the machine. Maybe one day it’ll show itself and Bella will be ready to catch it.
