I have 2 Siamese cats, one 2 year old lilac point female (Lily) who is mine and one 8 month old chocolate point female (Tanzie) who is my sisters cat. My sister and I live in an apartment together.
My cats dont run the house; They arent allowed on the counters or any tables or the refrigerator or stove. Lily knows the rules, she is a super smart Siamese, you dont need to tell her "No" many times before she knows that is not allowed. Tanzie, she never went on the counters, they are out of the way to get on and I took to giving them baths in the kitchen sink and they dont wanna be near there.
For 3 weeks I went home and had to leave both the kitties with a friend who has 7 cats, all of which are allowed on their counters. Her counters are easily accessed, there is practically a ramp up to them. Tanzie started going up on them constantly. She is hard headed but will get off if you talk loud and firm enough, but then she goes right back up....
Im tired of constantly yelling at her and having to check the kitchen if I cant see her. I have tried the yelling at her when I catch her and the double sided tape, she doesnt care about either.
I dont have money to spend on anything and no my cats will not be allowed on the counters. Could you guys tell me all the ideas you have ever heard of?
