How to Keep Cats Off of Tabletops

"Hi! I am Dr. Adrienne Mulligan, I own Camp Verde Veterinary Clinic and I am here today on behalf of expertvillage.com to talk to you about cat obedience. So my big pet peeve with my cats is, I don’t like my cats upon my countertops, or my dining table, or other tables and washers and driers and things like that. I don’t so much care about couches and beds. So this product has been really good for me, and basically detects movement anywhere in the vicinity of about 10-20 feet; and they will start with a beep and then it will spew a spray that smells like lemon, the citronella, and this is a very excellent product, and that has worked well for us in our new home. So that is what I use now when my cats were younger, and this was after I moved to a new house, but when they were younger at our first house, we were just able to tell them no when they would get up on top of things, and they just learned instinctively as kittens. So that the earlier you start, the lesser you have to use products like this, if you just tell them no or clap your hands, then generally they will jump down."
