Stop your kitten from getting on your table and countertops?
Mine is about 6 months old, and we have raised her since birth, by ourselves since she was about 5 weeks old. She is spoiled and we love her to death, but she thinks she can get on the table and counters even though we get on to her. Any suggestions on how to train her to stay off of these places???
Thanks in advance.

Get a squirt bottle. I find it actually works best to aim a few inches above the cat, and try not to let her see that you're doing the spraying. For when you are not around to catch her in the act, put a few strips of double-sided tape on the table and countertops, or lay damp towels across the counter.
Good luck!

Ok, you were terribly irresponsible and didn't get your cat spayed. Now, you'll double that irresponsible act and give intact kittens away. You need to s/n them and s/n your cat. If you are not willing to do that, and I'll assume you won't, then at least take the kittens to your SPCA or Humane Society. They will probably charge you a small fee to take the kittens, but they WILL s/n them before placing them. They also screen the people adopting them and charge them a fee. They will do a much better job than you finding them good homes.

A squirt bottle can help, but it is important to squirt from hiding (so she doesn't get the idea that it's wrong only when you are in sight). Another even more sure way is to use one of those animal repellents available in pet stores. They won't harm her or the furniture, but she won't go on anything you spray with it.

Scat Matt- a little life saving invention that gives a mild shock when the cat steps on it. I use it on counters, around the Cmas tree, anywhere you want kitty to avoid. Available on Ebay and some pet stores.

I've heard you can put double sided tape on counters to keep them off, they don't like the sticky feeling. Also on the side of furniture to keep them from sharpening their claws on them, and ruining the furniture.
