Greetings all -
Just wondering if anybody has any suggestions for my crazy, loveable 8 month old kitten who seems almost compelled/obsessed with jumping up on top of the kitchen counter/stove and on top of doors - yes that's right - leaps/climbs to the top of doors. I acknowledge that it's a natural habit for cats to be up high, hearkening back to their jungle tendencies to survey all around them, but I have very obvious concerns about his safety and well-being. This is what I've tried (and all in vain) - tin foil (smooth and wrinkled), water sprayer (plain and with diluted vinegar), "sssscat", lemon juice/grapefruit juice sprinkled on the tin foil to make it sticky, double-sided tape and I'm sure there's more but I just can't keep track of it. My biggest fear is that he'll jump up on the stove (which he's done) while it's on and burn his little feet. Any suggestions?
Thanks for anybody's input!
