Hi folks,
We have a china cabinet in our kitchen that's about 6 feet tall and our cats LOVE being on top of it.
The problem is that one of the cats is quite heavy and when he jumps up, the whole cabinet wobbles and shakes. I'm afraid that one day he'll knock the whole thing over - hurting himself and breaking all the contents.
Yesterday he tried to jump up and didn't quite make it. As he hung there by his front paws and tried to scramble the rest of the way up, we got quite scratched up.
I've read about how to get cats off counters (tinfoil/sticky tape, etc), but I'm worried about trying something like that so high up. I don't want him to fall and hurt himself.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to keep fat cats from high surfaces? Right now they use the kitchen table to jump the rest of the way to the china cabinet (and there is no other place for the table or cabinet to make the jump impossible).
Your help would be much appreciated!
