So, Ebbers has recently taken to jumping on the screen door. We thought she was doing it off of a lawn chair we had on the porch, so we took that down. Nope, she still does it. I've tried splashing water on her when the window is up and the screen is exposed on both sides, but she still does it! How can I get this to stop?
It's really made me and my parents fed up with her...

Depends on how high up on the door she lands. My husband put up a plexiglas piece that fit the bottom half of our back screen door, so we could all look out, still get plenty of fresh air, but the cat never bothered to jump high enough to get at the screen itself.

Sometimes she lands high up on the screen, other times it's further down. There's no real constant landing spot...
but it's a good suggestion.

You could give a product called SCAT a try. It's essentially a bottle of compressed air with a movement sensor on top of it. It trains the cat to stay away from a spot by spraying air and making sound as it does so.
