Our two kittens (now four months old so we had them around a month) learned very quickly that they are not supposed to go on the kitchen table and surfaces with a little help from a water gun. We also used tell them firmly NO, and clap our hands and if this did not help, we would shoot them with some water...

and does it actually clean ok?

I'm a bit OCD about it.

Couldnt do that to baby kittens ,and to be honest ,unless they are excluded from the kitchen when you are not there what makes you think they are not having a party on your worktops when your out.Cant honestly see what harm is being done that a quick wipe cant fix.

i had this trouble when i first got oliver my latest ragdoll. he is 3 1/2 and i think he must have done this at his old home. its just a case of telling him everytime you see that up on the tops. they will get the message in the end

Thank you all for the advice - I do say 'No' and remove them, so I shall just kepp perservering

I have given up with the cat-on-counter issue. A quick wipe with a pet-friendly cleaner is all that's required. In addition, I feel that a germ or two is good for the immune system. I am convinced that is why modern children are so sickly and full of allergies etc: because everything is so hyper-sterlised that their immune system never gets exercised.
