Hi there...consider using double-side sticky tape to prevent counter surfing. Cats dislike having their paws to the tape and soon learn to avoid areas which are unpleasant. This method works when you are not able to supervise their undesirable behaviour such as when you are sleeping or away at work for example.

i'm a extensive fan of the spray bottle. it works wonders with leaping on counters and scratching the fixtures. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, I do have a cat that looks proof against a twig of water so i finished up putting some pennies in an empty can then taping the best closed. Everytime my cat jumped on the counters i could shake the can and say "no" or "off". The noise scared him and he jumped down. finally he could ward off the counters altogether. wish this enables!

For those times when you're not home, you can consider getting a product called Sofa Scram. Just google it and you'll find links to where it's sold.
I use this on my buffet where the plants are.
It's battery operated, and if weight is put on it, a high beep is emitted, and it is continuous until the weight is removed.
I think it's about 3 feet long and 12" wide or so.

It may seem mean, but smack him/her on the head everytime she gets ot he counter, and then set her on the floor, so that she knows her place.
It may take a few days, or even weeks, but that will do the trick. Just make sure you give him/her a lot of love when he/she's good, so that she doesn't think you hate her when you hit her for being on the counter...

It's simple, but you have to watch what she's doing so you can act. Just fill a spray bottle with water and zap her with it when she jumps up on the counter. It's more effective if you can do it without her detecting that you are the one who got her with the water, otherwise she'll continue to jump up on the counter when you're not around.

I've had numerous pet owners of all kind tell me their local vets recommend a jar of some type with rocks, or marbles, (I guess the jar is plastic) shaken when a pet performs any unwanted behaviour is an excellent training tool. Most claim positive results.
