My five month old cat Fungo jumps up on the counter and tries to eat food off of it. Do you have any suggestions on how to keep him off? Thanks.

You are right. Do not spray kitties with water. If they get an ear infection and it isn't treated quickly it can become bad enough to cause deafness.Originally Posted by yelloweyes
I have read recently the squirt guns are a bad idea - kitties are likely to get ear infections from water spray, and they begin to associate you with an unpleasant experience, and lose trust.
We just haven't had that much luck with the squirt bottles anyway. Wet kitties can misbehave just as well as dry ones, we've learned.
The plastic carpet runners are cheap, and they seem to work on my fish tank at least; I assume they would help on the counters too.
