Just something I picked up from another thread, I was going to post there, but it had already gone off topic.

What do you allow your cats to do and what do you stop them doing?

For example, my cats are allowed in all rooms of the house, but I tend to keep our bedroom doors shut during the day as I don't really like them sleeping on the beds... however they are not allowed on tables and kitchen sides at all.

The cats are allowed on the sofa and armchair, but the will get pushed off if we run out of seating for people. They are also allowed to sit on window ledges. The are not allowed in baskets of washing.

When they are outside they can climb/sit/sleep on anything. There are no rules.
