Cats love to jump up on to things.
Cats always seem to want to be up on the kitchen counter.
You’re there, you’re doing interesting things, and cats want to know what’s going on.
Plus, of course, that’s where their food comes from!
…
For every “no,” you also need a “yes.”
Give them treats when they are there so there’s positive reinforcement for the new behavior.
Otherwise your cats will find a way to just do it when you’re not around.
Over time, if you’re consistent, your furry friends will understand the rules.
