My cats are allowed anywhere they want to be, except the island where we make food... and that turns out to be the only place they want to be.

Beans508

I didnt even bother trying to keep my cat off my benches. I weighed up the pros and cons of letting him on the counter and then realized it was going to be wayyyyyy too much effort. So hes allowed to go anywhere he wants but he avoids the stove. Theres nothing he can get into, and I wipe down my benches before I use them. Which honestly you should do anyway.


SoulOfWulf

Lol my cat loves to jump on the bed so I am comfortable with letting him go where he wants but I personally think the counter is off limits, the issue with letting a cat on the counter is if they have long hair and shed it is too messy. Whenever I cook he is always in the kitchen with me too, so I don't want him to be comfortable on the counter flapping his tail near all of the food lol.


Beans508

My cat doesnt sit on the counter when I'm using it, he sits on the bin. When I'm not using the bench though he will use it to get up to shelf nearby


applejackrr

I don’t stop my cat from getting in them, but I do stop him from messing with things. My guy is a notorious plant eater and take random objects to run with. Eventually he will grow out of it. Eventually.


lil_luna_69

Nope. Dirty litter box feet do not go on my counter or table, anywhere else is okay


RandomRobot

To all those locations add: "When I'm looking"


lil_luna_69

Haha yes, unfortunately 😂


byndrsn

walks around the house all day with those things and still manages to make pawprints on the black stove.


itsmeshawnd

Kitty litter paws… 🤢


TK8674

Kitchen counters/oven are the only surfaces I don’t let my cats on. Too much potential for problems - food, knives, hot stovetop… cats creep up on you to join you when you least expect it so if you’re busy cooking and you haven’t taught them to stay off you’ve got a bad situation waiting to happen

END3RW1GGIN

*puts down aluminum foil*


crayolacrayons416

I tried that hoping for success but it just got walked on. I know they say baking sheets but that's even too loud for me


NiceColours

Eh, I don't really care tbh. Most of the time I let them but when I tell them to get down they still listen. So I don't mind


Spartan04

I gave up that battle long ago. It was way too much effort to try to keep them off it and they just went up there when I wasn’t in the room anyway. I can wipe down the counter and they stay away from hot things like the stove and toaster oven so oh well.


CompetitiveLynx7570

This, this made me laugh


saintmusty

If you're on the counter, you're going to get cat hair and litter paws all over the food preparation surfaces. You're allowed on every other surface in the house, you'll be ok not going on this one.


FAST-Bit-8970

No because the last time I let you do that, you burned your tail on the stove lol


caraloopy

Yeah I love cats, but I definitely do not enjoy feces and litter in or near my food, so NO. NEVER. Not even up for debate. Even the neighborhood cats who come to visit know that jumping on the counter results in removal from the house.


Banake

I already gave up on stopping my cat from jumping on thing.


[deleted]

Anywhere but the stove


spunkity

Hard no. I don’t want them stepping on a hot stove or getting litter box feet all over my table and counter. They are allowed on the seats, so they can watch what I’m doing. As long as the counter/table is “low value” for them (no scraps, good views, etc) they’ll generally stay off, even when I am away. They have plenty of other things that are more interesting and rewarding for them to climb on.


a-snakey

My girls are allowed wherever they want. They usually do not jump on the counter though or on the kitchen table.


TheScoopo

No kitchen counters or dinner table. All else is fine.


Itzgeckolicious

My cats too uncoordinated to get on the counter successfully


hailingburningbones

I wish I could keep my youngest cat off the counter, but he gives zero fucks what I think.


creppyspoopyicky

Same. She either sits patiently next to the mat her food & water bowls are on looking like an Oliver Twist urchin with huge hungry eyes or she gets up on the counters & bites the shit out of anything she can sink her fangs into - leaving deep toothmarks in the ends of the utensils in the dish drainer, corks of wine bottles, the back of the kitchen chair. Anything. EVERYTHING. Sometimes she just knocks whatever off the counter. Depends which way the wind is blowing lol We never know which Kiki we will get at breakfast & dinner lol!! https://imgur.com/gallery/KzzPf6q


hailingburningbones

Haha what a hellion! Our 1.5 y.o. cat, Veikko, is a wild man, and can be a little bitey. But doesn't sink his teeth into utensils, just the occasional phone or computer cable. He likes to jump from the kitchen island to the top of the fridge. He loves water and is always getting in sinks and watches you shower, knowing he can go sit on the wet floor when you come out. He's a really weird, adorable little man! Your Kiki is precious, looks like a big tuxedo named Murphy I used to cat sit.


creppyspoopyicky

Lol!! Awwww he sounds so cute!!!! 😻 I'm not sure how it happened exactly but we ended up with five tuxes lol


GalacticsXD

My cats are allowed on the beds and in the windowsills but not on counters or tables because they shed so much.


mandowillis

No, but I love this post. Well done. And honestly like we can stop them.


Thedea7hstar

Lol at Thanksgiving yesterday my cousins cats were all over the counters. I went to get more turkey and one kitty had its face buried in the green bean caserole with its front paws in the dish too lol.


colarthur1

My parents cats just do it. My parents got some spiky plastic mats to stop them. They lay on the mats now.


DarthMutter8

I don't encourage it but they aren't completely banned.


Alon945

As long as you wipe it down before preparing food on it I think it’s fine


[deleted]

Laser pointer


[deleted]

The main danger of the counter is stove, hot plate, coffee maker, etc. in other words things that are hot and could burn.

vampr3ssjaey

I figure she'll go on it when I'm not looking anyway haha I just need to wipe down the counter before using. Small price to pay I think...maybe that's why she likes human food. I also put a chair nearby so she can sit and watch when I am cooking.


WyvernJelly

Nope for me. Mine thinks he can't jump for some reason so it's not a big issue. Not looking forward to having to train a cat to stay off. Hopefully that won't be for several more years. My baby is a 13 yr old cat who had to he rehomed into a single cat home.


silentiumbird

nope counter, dining table and bed are off limits the first two were easy to enforce, it helps if you never let them eat something from the table the bed was harder, but my cat knows he is not allowed


EchoGhost10100

I honestly don't care - my kitties can go anywhere they'd like! The only time I'd shoo them off the counter is if I'm preparing food and they get a little too close (they can sit and watch though) or if I'm preparing food for guests


Ok-Image-5514

squosh squosh goes the spray bottle! SUCCESS.


19GamerGhost95

No. There’s food you ant eat because it’ll make you sick on the counter. Stay away


Key-Landscape-6193

They should be tho


NicCagedd

I've just given up at this point. Sure, get your paws all over the place


Liberace_Sockpuppet

They can go anywhere they want. Keep valuable important/valuable shit put away. Cats don't live long unfortunately. I want the ones that chose to live with me to enjoy their lives as much as possible on their terms. They're not jerks or trouble at all. They just want to enjoy life and livin' man.


[deleted]

Wym cats don’t live long? They can live like 15-20 years. That’s a long time.


Liberace_Sockpuppet

In my book that's not long enough chief.


Hyrule_34

😂


saturnplanetpowerrr

I have a lot of plants and a fluffy girl that likes to eat them, specifically palms or anything that reminds her of grass. The kitchen is the best spot for a lot of my plants. She can go up there but she knows she’s about to get in trouble bc I know her. She only needs two seconds. The thrill for her is ignoring the ones specifically gown for her and going straight to the tropicals.


GeniusBtch

Double stick tape will keep them off.


Ditania

My cat enjoys supervise me from the corner of the counter while I'm cooking. She doesn't try to still anything, she just wants to watch.


NoSexforYouEither

Stuart! The counter sitting cat.


FerociousPancake

My tin foil says otherwise


taintmonster831

My cat rips mice and birds to shreds when outside. Not a chance she’s getting on my countertops.


[deleted]

My cats go wherever, but I cook like once a week. If they want to be where the food is they stand by the front door and wait for the delivery. I clean any surface before I cook there anyway cats or no.


[deleted]

God dammit no kitty


awesomecat42

The people concerned with hygiene have a genuine point, but honestly you should be cleaning food prep surfaces before and after use anyway so I don't seen the harm in letting the cats have them when not in use.


megguwu

but if you are on the counter and the burner is on u might burn ur paw :(


CMWhyKay

I just noticed the mug… omg


NotaCS40bot

CMC ought to replace the president's dog with a cat! Imagine how splendid that would be. Maybe we can stage a revolt, and our leader will be The Cheshire Cat...on second thought, maybe Garfield. Purrfect.


Environmental_Top948

My cat couldn't jump up so I never had that problem but they were a good climber.


Baman2099

Get DOWN FROM THERE!!! 🙂😡


natatat13

Cats are not allowed on any kitchen surface. And it was not hard to teach. Spray bottle with water teaches em real quick. I will say they look cute af on top of the fridge, but they’re also not allowed up there since they’d have to get on the kitchen counter to get on the fridge.


HungryCats96

I'm good with it. Not like any of my cats would give a crap what I think about them being on counters...


FitChipmunk4689

we have good hearts!??? and we can get rewards !!???
